In fact, +I have shamelessly taken sourcecode from pMARS, exhaust, some ideas from +qMars, a shot of optimizations, shook everything well, and garnished +everything with a high level interface for Ruby. + +The resulting program has the following main features: + +* Uses the parser from pMARS, so no previous parsing is neccessary.
