-      A Java-based application allowing you to monitor auctions you're
-      not part of, submit bids, snipe (bid at the last moment), and
-      otherwise track your auction-site experience. It includes
-      adult-auction management, MANY currencies (pound, dollar (US,
-      Canada, Australian, and New Taiwanese) and euro, presently),
-      drag-and-drop of auction URLs, an original, unique and powerful
-      'multisniping' feature, a relatively nice UI, and is known to work
-      cleanly under Linux, Windows, Solaris, and MacOSX from the same
-      binary.
