# Fixed/History
# 2011 Oct 21
[x] brought in Gavin's speed slider and processing thread

# 2011 Sep 20
# [x] "Get File" button was causing other buttons to get hidden or not repainted?
# [x] Wasn't running from html because constructor wasn't public.
# [x] Window didn't show up in standalone. Double boo-boo: init was calling init, and constructor was calling init which called constructor.
# [x] Deprecated "action( )" has been replaced with actionListeners.
