Sorry to bump this, but I found some new use to it. After going through a semester of Java programming, I've decided to fix the way I did some formatting and whatnot, and I made it more generic (it doesn't use my console class, but rather uses System.err for what's necessary).
EDIT -
Whoops -- didn't review it carefully enough. I just remembered that I learned what staticness was in class, and when I wrote this, I was just trying to get around it. Fixed.
