I've broadened my functional test suite for the app and libs and discovered a few weaknesses that could make it more generally useful if fixed. It's relatively minor to fix them, and recognising them is required for reliable handling of the various different formats anyway, even if I don't support some. I've also uncovered a few new tricks which is at the least interesting, and at best very useful. More to come :-)

Thank you for supporting FreeEMS!
Planning to totally overhaul the CLI stuff, as it's a bit patchy right now, though that can wait till after more robustness and features are added.

FYI, this app, and all others that I make will require a Java6 JRE, or newer. I played around with 1.5 bins tonight, but it would require too much change to not use some J6 features. Thanks to my secret tester for trying it on an old Mac. I can't even get J5 for Debian now anyway... so it's pretty obsolete, especially with J8 on the Horizon.

The UltimateLoader is now tested on OS X! It worked with both cu. and tty. versions too!

One of these is now present and functioning nicely. :-)

I wish I knew what the last post was about! Anyone who knows is welcome to PM me and explain :-D
Anyway, this is now packaged in a .deb for more convenient use. And I gave it a little tweak, too.
More to come, stay tuned! :-)
