Object of the week- Bob's Expanded Watch Object for ViewPort

Bob wrote an awesome "add-on" to ViewPort that let's you extend the basic "watch shared variable" capabilities of ViewPort. It executes script statements that can deal with arrays and Spin floats and show variables in many formats. He has integrated a full scripting engine, so you can easily combine multiple variables- all without touching your running Propeller Propgram. Bob used the "ViewPort Client Kit"
His object is here:

ps: ViewPort currently offers 2 points of integration: plugins (let's you customize the display and behavior of widgets) and addons (let's you interface with ViewPort through standard DDE messaging).
12Blocks is close to offering 5 points of integration: plugins and addons like ViewPort, an api to access tab and state content, an api to customize the main interface, and an api to customize display and behavior of individual blocks.
