all in one. It works together with standard interfaces like shell
(give arguments in commandline), Workbench (set tooltypes),
opus, arexx and appicon.

savedirectorys and output filename extensions. Macros for custom
processing methods can be defined.

It can send outputs to external programs like multiview, ced, etc.

power of this tool by writing plugins.
