Hi.

I'd like to offer up my initial release of the fret-o-matic tool.

http://www.archsys.net/dropbox/fret-o-matic.031.tgz

It is a stand-alone app that require no installation and no
special permissions. It contains no spyware nor awareness
of anything, really. There is no disclaimer because it can do
no harm.

About

fret-o-matic is a simple tool to help you design the fretboard
of any stringed instrument with frets. It is similar to many
of the other fret-position calculators out there but offers a
few unique capabilities, such as:

+ presets based on existing models
+ calculates fretboard widths at any position
+ table of fret positions and board width at the fret
+ editable report

It is pretty much focused at instrument builders, particularly electric
guitar builders, and the curious.

Other

Currently, it is an OSX (10.6+) application, though it shouldn't be
too hard to port to Win and Linux (the beauty of PB!), though I am
yet to do so. If there is interest...

Enjoy .. mark.

pity I don't have osx to look but it sounds like a good domain specific utility.
it'd also make a great name for a compiler!
