Damn, I knew I should have released mine. I've been using one I wrote 
for four years. Unfortunately, it is hard-coded to my own city and I 
haven't had the time to generalize it for release. This happens to me 
all the time. Half of the stuff Chipp releases has been in my private 
arsenal for years.

Well, it's my own fault. ;) Anyway, I know this stuff works. It's pretty 
cool.
