Yes and no. I've heard that such software exists, but I can't find it
either. I'd like to, especially one the public domain.

Not having found one, I've started my own last year. But, since I am
doing this 'spare' time, a few measily hours here and there may take
some time. If it ever get's done, public domain is a prime target.
But, like I say, unless I got some financial incentive, it will be
a long way off.

So, if anyone finds one, I'd like to know too. It will save me a lot of work.
