Very useful, but the source code is exceltionally poorly structured and basically uncommented. Terrible code to analyze.I was also wondering why you chose to code the it in Java. Most of the classes have basically no invariant, which makes them haphazard collecions of function. It seems that a structured language such as C would have been a better choice: you could have done the same job in about half the lines, without all the incomprehensible overstructured that Java forces you to use.
