What is it: Tis an app that randomly creates (USA) full names and addresses from a set of XML files...using a XML config file, and outputs an XML file that can be imported into a database, to build test personnel data tables.

After of months writing tons of D code toward bring this project forward (only to use two modules...so far), I'm releasing a commandline version that I've tested under Windows, but it should also work under Linux since it uses the Phobos runtime library for file io.
