NAME
kaptain - is a universal graphical front-end based on context-free grammars; it reads a file containing grammatical rules for generating text, builds a dialog from the grammar and generates the text according to the user's settings.
kaptainshell - is a simple kaptain grammar script which shows up the grammars located in /usr/share/kaptain and the user can choose from that list.
