Cool, any screen shots? Would like to see the tabs with a few files open.

Thanks for your interest. I've added a couple of screenshots to the readme. I usually run ozette in a terminal filling one monitor, with 2-3 files open. It works fine with more, but you just can't see much of their contents; still, seeing the edges of the other files in a stack behind the active tab somehow helps my sense of spatial navigation.
It's funny how life works. There is nothing especially sophisticated about this bit of code, it has many little bugs I've never bothered to fix, and I'd design it completely differently if I started now. Still, though: after thirty-plus years writing code, I've gotten more actual use out of this little tool than anything else I've ever written. Judging by the ratio of hours spent writing it to hours spent using it, nothing else even comes close, not within an order of magnitude.
