i haven't even tried to go that deep on these things... not in recent posts,
anyway... it seems that we're on vacation right now and i don't even know where
to try to go fishing! :lol:

i really don't know how i feel about this stuff... i've been trying to keep up
with your postings and to understand the whys and whatfores but... i guess i
should try to start some kind of FTN editor to work with this stuff... i've got
some old code available but the first thing would be to get it ported to the
new FPC stuff... especially since i'm an old pascal coder ;)
