... and is the CAT with the least code of them all (590Kbytes zipped).

It's my love for paradoxes.

my last attempt to produce a CAT with C (+some native 386 assembly code) in
the mid-90's ended up producing such a slow performer, I threw the entire
code away. Go figure.

If Marc Prior reads this: can a Macro project in OO be protected (or can
anyone look at the code, as with MsOffice, well, you know, there's no real
protection there) ?
