there is one GUI, but I guess not many people have noticed
it in the 'links' section of the homepage.  maybe I should
add another section to the download page with more detailed
descriptions.  anyway, it is at:

  http://home.wanadoo.nl/~w.speek/flac.htm

about the monkeys audio GUI, first, Matt has added support
for every other major lossless codec except FLAC, and it
seems so easy to do that I assume it's on purpose.  people
have asked for it on the MAC forum, but maybe if more ask
he will add it.

second, you can trick the GUI into running flac instead
of shorten since the command line usage is similar.  I
guess I could add that to the documentation also.
