This app may have it qualities ... I probably will never know. The GUI is as horrible as the name of this app and after I couldn't even figure out how to use it for anything and had buttons that named "..eu rg.." because the buttons are to small for the words I trashed it.
Sorry, but thare is a reason why people use Macs.
