>>>>Just Dangit! I'm a fairly skilled programmer, but a apparently a terrible typist/speller. 9 times out of 10 when I my app bombs (while I am running it from the IDE during development), it is not becuase of bad logic, but simply becuase I have misspelled a variable name in a method. Good grief I am tottaly tired of that. I sure wish the thing would figure that when I close the code window, or even better, when I am typing.

I will have to try ZLOC. I like the beautify idea.
