All of the GUI code is in a separate class from the parsing and
generation code, so it is completely possible.  I'm planning on doing
a commandline version, but still not sure as to what an optimal
interface would be.  There's an aweful lot of USE variables, so
there'll be a cli version as soon as I can think of a way to make it
work elegantly.  All ideas appreciated.
