Ok, downloaded it, had some random error messages at first but after downloading 1.07 it seems to work.

First thing I notice is that Zonealarm tells me the program is trying to connect to the Internet which is a bit disconcerting as who knows the software may have a keylogger/screengrabber and be sending my holecards to an unscrupulous individual. Not accusing you of anything, but I would be unlikely to use the program in the future if it needs to connect to the Internet to run.

The program itself has much potential but as of now I'm not finding it overly useful. The "other player" percentages doesn't really help out much because if I'm understanding correctly the percentages are just for a random hand. Obviously, Omaha/8 players are more likely to be playing hands like A2xx and A3xx as opposed to 37J5 and similar junk. But the program doesn't make that distinction so the numbers can be misleading.

Something more useful would be expanding the outs feature of the program. For instance, the program could indicate exactly WHICH cards are outs. ie. you hold 79TJ on a Q86 flop. The program could have an output such as:
5 (four outs)
7 (3 outs)
9 (3 outs)
T (3 outs)
J(3 outs)
Total Outs: 16

It's pretty easy to misread wrap outs to a straight on o8, especially when multi-tabling so I think something like this would be a tremendous addition.

1 minor thing: There are two entries for the program in the add/remove program area (this is probably because I upgraded)

Hope that provides you with some helpful feedback, I look forward to seeing your program evolve and improve in the future!
