Wow, that really is cool! A "Mac OS X application that takes a small metadata file, and wraps a lovely GUI around a shell script". Jesus Christ. I need me one of them. I mean, after all, it could be extremely useful if I wrote "a command-line script and [needed] to let someone with no Unix experience run the program". Could someone tell me please, why oh why are all my friends better at all this technical crap than me?
