Sorry for the long delay in this summary, but I got lots & lots of answers,
and wanted to compose a pretty complete summary, so I waited. Where I do not
supply the source of the software, contact me and I will get it for you (or
try to, at minimum). Many thanks to all respondents. I hope this is helpful
to people in this forum (I got a few "me too"s). Note that the number of people
who liked (or at least recommended looking into) particular software packages
is smaller than the total no. of recommendations, since some people recommended
several possibilities.
