Hi Craig ,
There is more than one program , stitcher and stacker . I am a real novice
at this , but an interesting post was just made on the subject . Here it is

I hope to see more interest develop in it and to see automatic stacking
software development .
I am looking forward to playing with the idea this season and see how it
works out on the LowFER band .
