See http://www.pegasoft.ca/coder/coder_august_2013.html blog for a more detailed overview.

Started in 2001 as the Business Shell, SparForte is an open project
being supported in my spare time.  If you enjoy SparForte and find it
useful, contact me and I'll continue to support it.  Volunteers are
welcome to contribute.

Email me at my pegasoft account if you find errors.   However, I'm working on a second university degree at night so please be patient as it may take some time to provide fixes.

Have fun.
