I had some contact from the developers when they started, and I didn't  
really respond at all (I thought it was a hoaxer).  Some of the output  
looks an *awful* lot like my UTA program  (especially some of my more  
questionable word mappings)... when I asked them about it they *said* they  
developed it on their own.... but I have my doubts.
