Please consider allowing the option for creating a different program to allow the automatic sizing of pads for printing individual sheets to be used via old school pen and paper.

Please see this page: http://users.telenet.be/d.rijmenants/en/onetimepad.htm

The author has done a good job on his numbers program but will not not open the source code at all and this will not run on anything but windows unless you depend on Wine.

Could you please utilize this app and create a simple solution to format the size of x pads on screen so they can be printed easily without having to adjust the format for each offset of OTP data.

See how it makes small clean pads that can get a bunch easily to a page with option of utilizing Letters or Numbers for the formatting.

The goal would be to replace the Numbers closed source application with an Open Source Python implementation. It appears you have at least 80% of that done already with your script it would just require some formatting of the output and some addition al input variables.

Please consider this other than manually doing this by hand there is no other way without that proprietary app.

This would be a completely different program, sharing little or no code with OneTime.
