While I can't blame The Herb for bailing after xyWrite 3,
I sure miss being able to open a book and read a simple
answer to a simple question instead of having to download
and decipher someone else's code. But when I have time
I'll do that. Thanks for pointing out relevant frames.

	The coding travails you describe--
	I looked at your code--are wholly
	attributable to the for-Windows
	environments you chose to work in.
	They have nothing to do with BX
	or v4+ XPL per se. 			--Carl

	What a surprise. Please be specific. 	--me

	I deconstructed it enough to see what you
	meant by "gross code" and to see that whatever
	problems you were having had nothing to do with
	any supposed unreliability or "temperamental
	proclivities" of BX. I also noted many excesses
	and inefficiencies associated with v3 XPL (and
	recognize that you were porting a program developed
	originally in v3). You said that you were "not
	requesting remedies"; I honored your request. 	--Carl

I was requesting specific support for your sweeping
conclusion. Since all you did was add vague xyW3 bashing
to the previous vague Windows bashing, the value of
both comments now is clear.

	If there are any specific BX statements that
	you believe fail because of BX's inherent
	unreliability, please point them out.

If the one place in that frame a func BX would have
been--and is absent because it failed--isn't obvious
to you, I don't understand why you're even commenting
on it. I acknowledged from the outset that the code
stinks but said I'm willing to let it stand since
it works. Well, I guess I do understand why you're
commenting, as noted above. ... Ciao. 				--a
