    MARK EVERITT  I like it! This is just what our group has been needing.

    To the other reviewers; this is a cross-platform piece of software, and developing in Cocoa adds complexity which simply is not necessary. Java and SWT on the other hand work on all the major operating systems without modification. Read the developer blog.

    My thanks to the developer.

    SIMON MENKE  Please use Cocoa not Java, you'll get a much nicer interface which will not look like an OS 9.0 app.

    MAUROPICCINI  As my target with Shoka is a multiplatform application and I don't have enough time, I'm developing only one crossplatform interface. I know on osx it is slow but I'm working to make it usable. Maybe in the future I can build a pure cocoa frontend.

    WMARDIS  Who cares what it looks like? I'm interested in functionality. I don't see that this will do anything that I cannot already do with Spotlight, and far less than I can do with Yep.

    MAUROPICCINI  Not the network sharing, as far as I know. :)
