As soon as I sent that message I knew I would get this response. Yes, but
I meant full-blown stand-alone applications. What Robert's written is a
complex, powerful, open-source plug-in to a closed-source, traditional
commercial program. Robert seems to be experiencing the frustrations
inherent in working under those conditions. I was poking him in the ribs
a bit, per our conversation last month of open-source replacements to
XyWrite.
