This sounds very interesting to me, Jeff. But I'm not sure what it is. I'm not keen on dealing with naked ZIPs from strangers, and a web search doesn't turn up much... can't pull much on a reputation search either.

Have you been face-to-face with Jakub, or do you have more info on what this is, maybe a browser-based demo or such...?

[ John, I haven't met Jakub in person. As with any beta or freeware software, use at your own risk. It's very similar to GoLive or Dreamweaver, but instead of generating HTML to layout web pages, it generates JavaScript for laying out script dialogs like you see when you run Image Processor. You can play around with CSUI Builder 1.0 to get a feel for what it does. I've also provided a screen shot of CSUIB 2.0.
