:: '''Standalone App''': This is the application itself which allows integrators, developers, or hobbyists to do whatever they would like.  Since the project is open source, it can be audited, modified, redistributed, etc without any permission or royalties to [https://www.cliquesoft.org Cliquesoft].  Since this is just the application by itself, the user will need to make sure that it works in whatever environment it is placed - mileage may vary when using the software this way.  Patches are welcomed to help make the application work in a broader fashion.
