My overarching concern about "NB-Xy" is its (in)stability. I vaguely recall that the early version we tried was quite rickety. Query whether this was a reflection of its being in early beta or whether the instability is inherent in the editing engine itself? Either way, I'd hesitate to pay money for it. Decompiling the test version doesn't answer the stability question, and would raise IP issues that would require Nota Bene's signoff. Even if you obtained the source, relying on AI to complete the job very iffy to me. That said, please keep us posted if you continue to explore the possibilities. -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxxxx
