Re: Reports are MUCH BETTER than Tools

Hi.

I think the important difference is the location or path to the tools. I
have another tool I'll post soon that will probably include a Java
applet for displaying what it does. I know that Ylva has plans to
"document" several Ecoliteracy tools with applets.

I'm not sure what would be different for the tool report template and
the web report template. I vote for making them identical for the time
being until the web report template(s) becomes more specialized.

Best,

-ken
