     I am currently trying to teach myself the C++ programming language  
and am in need of a "project" to work on - one that will be interesting   
and useful, rather than the usual boring stuff (in other words, my mind  
has drawn a blank).  I was wondering if any of you had any ideas of a  
utility or other handy little program that you always wished you could  
have on your PC (or whatever), possibly of the Personal Information  
Manager or Handle-those-Dumb-little-Calculations-I-Keep-Having-to-do or  
possibly even something to handle some experimental data.
     If you do, I would greatly appreciate an idea to work on while I  
learn.  Please describe the nature of the "problem" and any relevant  
input/output needs, and maybe in a few months I'll actually be able to do  
something useful.  If you need something of a VERY technical nature  
(something in math/science/whatever) that I have no experience in yet I  
will also need help with relevant equations, concepts, or whatever.
     Thank you.

P.S.  This is a (somewhat) serious request from a programming novice, so  
please do not ask me to write a program that solves the three-body problem  
or does anything else extremely hard, or does anything impossible.
