That's just XPL, Harry.

Without the source code, you'd be asking Claude to do a clean-room rewrite of XyScript -- good luck with that! Well, it might be an interesting experiment, if you have endless hours to kill and a high tolerance for frustration. I suggest waiting for the source code. It won't be too long before I release it. I'm getting close to having all the baseline features I'd expect to see in a modern Xy-like text editor. Once I'm there, and after a few remaining rough edges are smoothed out, you and tout le monde will be able to have at it. In the meantime, I'm close to releasing the next version. Basically, I just want to add the error-log option, and then it will be ready. -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxxxx
