There's a whole missing middle of documentation--there's recipe book instructions and there's basic implementation ones (which include the source code), but nothing about how they hook up together. Overall, it's not ready for medium- sized uses. Since you're not in the surface-usage class, expect to learn the whole tool in its entirety and gory detail in order to finish your task. Having said that, I don't have an alternate to recommend you. Eric
