The great folks over at Crystalball Software ( http://www.crystalballsoft.com/ ) have just released vs 2 of CBLite ( for Mac and Windows) the most advanced dice rolling program I have ever used.

Rolls 7 Sets of 4 sets of 1d6, rerolling anything less than 2, dropping the lowest of the 4, and dropping to lowest of the 7.
