Distributed "distributed under open source" - GOOD (Score 1)

The applications of such a package are numerous. It is good to see that there is an open source life for a project of this nature. Granted, you do have to design carefully to properly use the distributed nature of the software. However, many problems lend themselves to this approach. Any CS algo nerds would know that anything requiring "Dynamic Programming" falls under the domain of this software. Anyways, a few friends and I were going to write a similar package approximately a year ago only to find out that there were already people working on the project. Being light-weights in industry at the time it didn't make sense to pursue. However, I will definitely peruse the source of this one. Any possibility that this is a Sun product without a gui? Their software is so damn stable, but what's the deal with Forte and Star? Are they trying to be telepathic. I can finish my own damn word without you reminding me how it might finish. All those event listeners bog down the run-time speed. Maybe we'll get lucky and there'll be no GUI this time.
