    Seems to have a good selection of gadgets for putting together a good cop panel.

    One thing I did not like is the documentation was buried three directories, "Gauges/rcb-miljet/Documentation COP V2.0" deep in the zip file instead of being the first thing you see. Egg hunts are not my thing. I was about ready to heave it until I decided to look at every directory.

    That said, it isn't a bad package.
