Not a user, currently.
But interested, and having a nice cross-platform common-UI would make thing=
s a lot nicer for some prospective software-upgrades at work.
One such possible nicety would be a universal administration tool, another =
would be a data-management/-analysis tool for visiting scientists, another =

ything from C to VB to C#) used to operate the instrumentation here from th=
eir host-systems and increase portability.
