[p4] Interested in a Windows tool to product a job-based changenote for revisions/branches?

Hi all,
To support our development, I've written a VB.NET GUI tool which talks
to P4 via P4COM, and can produce a list of jobs fixed between two
branches/revisions.  Given two branches/revisions (call them A and B),
it gives:
 
Jobs fixed in both
Jobs fixed in A
Jobs fixed in B
Jobs fixed in A only
Jobs fixed in B only 
 
The last list above, if A was an earlier revision/branch than B, is,
essentially, the basis for a changenote for branch/revision B.
 
Once the details are displayed on screen, it's possible to print them,
and also generate an HTML version.  The HTML vesion uses XSL stylesheets
to control the format, so that it's possible to customise output.
 
We're using it in conjunction with P4DTI and BugZilla, but because it is
just P4 job based, P4DTI and Bugzilla are not required.
 
It was developed for internal use, but I think it would be of interest
to other P4 users - if anyone's interested in a copy, let me know!
