Yes, it's available for download at http://www.quipu.co.uk/SWISH-
E. I would certainly appreciate feedback, and I will promise to add 
improvements when I get feedback. The current system doesn't

they seem quite content with the useability of it. 

So please, use it, check it and tell me what you think.
