Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Your software sounds great Bill!  My hubby is a programmer for a living,
but works at home.  I know how long and complicated these programs can
be.  Keep at it though! Think of all of us, waiting desperately for your
new program.  The other gardening software out there really sucks. 
Happy programming!  What language do you program in.
