Future Additions
I will add more additions here as I get feedback on the forums. If you would like to see something
in the program post it on the forums and it could end up on this list. I am not promising any deadlines for when
the additions will happen since I am still in school and have other projects to work on. As long as people are interested
in the program I will keep updating it and the website.
