Are the sort of people who are likely to want to use a peal 
proving program likely to be put off by a program without a 
graphical user interface?  And if so, does something like 
Peal Prover or Sirilic which is really just a text-based 
program grafted on to a big edit box, fulfill that need?

That's a genuine question.  I would have guessed that if 
you're happy with a text-based description language as used 
in most of these programs, you would have also been happy 
with a traditional command line interface.  And that those 
after a GUI would probably sooner not have to deal with a 
textual touch description langguage.  (For example, they 
might prefer to check boxes in each course corresponding to 
the standard calling positions.)

Or is that not a fair assumption?
