LIMBO2
Project Description	This project is the successor to LIMBO.  The goal of this project is to develop an improved application that is easier to modify than the original, providing more flexibility and a better implementation.  As such, the architecture of LIMBO2 should make provisions for adding new modules, allowing clients to easily extend the current feature set.
Background	Limbo History
