My primary skills are Numerical Analysis and Fortran although I can write the same programs in C. I am trying to figure C++ out. You can probably start out by fixing bugs since general programing skills are what is needed there. Since everybody else is making suggestions, I think that the widgets that pop-up when you start the Parts or start them as applications need work. They are logically inconsistent and confusing.
