> Introduction
=================================

  The SAO Utils program is a Sword Art Online Look'n'Feel launcher with variety
of powerful utilities.
  Its pluggable architecture allows you, the developer, to add any kind of
plug-ins to the core program.
  That's the reason why it was named as "SAO Utils" :)
