Of course, the idea of shared XPL started long before networks were common, with U2 and its precursors, SmartSet and Oodles, the last dating back to the '80s. We never realized the goal of a community of users contributing actively to a pool of shared, open-source resources, but certainly the intention was there. As for running XyWrite "from the cloud", I've been doing it for years and I'm sure many others have, too. My XyWrite setup and essential data files are on Dropbox, which makes it easy to access them from any computer. My goal, though, for reasons of privacy and security, is to move it all to a private server (in the cloud). As a start, I've developed a pretty-good version-history facility, a Dropbox feature I find essential. -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxxxx
