Is it free?

Of course! I built it for my self, and it wouldn't make sense writing software and charging my self to use it!
But feel free to use it, and share it as well! The best way to share it is to send a link to http://pbcool.blogspot.com, I release frequent updates and this Blog contains useful info and links about this software.
I've set up a Google Group (here) just for PBCool so that people can be notified by e-mail when I release updates or when someone finds a bug feel free to subscribe and post suggestions or bugs (please). You won't be spammed and you can unregister any time you want.
