Re: XyWrite's future - NB 10 or something different?

Carl,
The immediate barrier, for me, to making the translator is inadequate
knowledge of AutoHotkey scripting. When I look at what's on their Forum, I
realize that there's a whole city out there, and I'm just playing around in
the attic of one house in it.
And I'm loath to learn R.E., which I'd have to use rather than Xy's
(sometimes quirky) wildcards. But I probably have to--not just to make a
translator, but or many purposes.
