How easy is this!

Summary
I was surprised at how quickly I got this working. Because it's an applet, it's very easy to incorporate within your own pages and styles. I'd like a few more hints on some of the parameters in the readme, but then I've only had it a couple of hours and we're encouraged to email the author with queries so perhaps I should do that before commenting further. Anyway, fully recommend this download!
Very Cool Program
