Hi!
I am sure I will be shouted down as a heretic here, (although I am
studying computer science and I know that it's sometime impractical),
BUT "papirus"
ie. paper has served us well for milennia, so if it's really important,
PRINT it out!!! Sure you cannot do it with software, unless you have
access to the source code but you can do it with data.
Well this my 2 cents worth anyway.
