Perhaps both of you, as well as others involved in this
particular debate, should try a "relax."

In a sense K. Frank has set you against each other by his limited
resources (this is NOT a blame assignment, just an observation):
You're fighting for a limited slice. You might as well complain
that TTG should be a multibillion company which could fulfill all needs.

Myron doesn't care about programming per se, others do. Okay.
XPL in particular has never been the most popular of languages,
and how much of a selling point it is is not exactly clear.

I enjoy XPL; sometimes I think it is a personal failing on my
part.

Most people, I imagine, would be contact just customizing what
they enjoy customizing and ignore the rest. I doubt if it's a
coincidence that the programming languages for M Word and W
Perfect are essentially supplements constituting an extra
purchase.

I once went to one of the NYPC Xy sig meetings, and there the
level of XPL use said that the tiny XPL in the 3 manual for
having a macro create another macro was hot and heavy. Most of
the rest of the evening was spent discussing the number of bugs
in Xy and what Xy couldn't do. Lots of fun. I was told that there
was someone in Chicago who wrote XPL. Yes, XPL has always been
popular.

And given the resource question of TTG, it would probably be
easier to strip XyWin to become a control for visual basic than
bringing a "visual basic" to XyWin. VB is more an environment
than a language.
