Picalo is an open source application that helps data analysts, fraud investigators and auditors search through data sets for anomalies, trends, and other information. Picalo has much of the functionality of Audit Command Language (ACL) and IDEA. In many ways, Picalo goes one step beyond these packages because it includes trending and analysis routines and not just data manipulation routines.

For those who don't want to read the license, here's the higlights:
- You may use Picalo free of charge. I hope it is helpful to you. Please improve the code and share back with the community.

- You must release any additions to Picalo under the GPL.
- Picalo source code cannot be included or used in any products that are licensed with something other than the GPL.
