Remaining issues before release as v1 are:

Implementing a system to handle incorrect data when reading (e.g. years 
like 0203)
Some aspects of reading dbf files - report errors.
Table command - simplifying output for stratified tables
Printing can be a problem accross printers - report problems.
Defining Boolean variables impossible (<Y>) due to interference 
with html language, use integer instead.

But for many standard types of analysis and basic graphs it works quite 
well.
