>> My TODO List :

>> - Add some advanced Enfuse options. Here i'm waiting comments form
>> users...
>> - Hack last bugs, memory leak, and other joys (:=)))...
>>
>> Important : this tool is also available as a stand alone application

>> computer.
>>
>> I'm waiting your viewpoints, feedback, critics... etc...
