- Here is a simple program that helps you access WPS objects from
- the command line. It's pretty straight-forward, but a description
- follows anyways. If you want to send me money, CDs, email,
- expensive computer stuff, or anything else interesting, I won't mind.
-
- This program is completely free and not guaranteed to do anything.
