I highly doubt that.  I imagine it's *quite* complicated; it may, in fact, be
less complicated than *I* imagine (things tend to get exaggerated in my mind).
 Perhaps I have the wrong perspective on it entirely.  

I've put this project off for a year because I wasn't ready for it.  And even
now (with more tools and experience and resources) I'm still not sure I'll be
able to tackle it... which is precisely why I was looking into building on
something (like AbiWord) instead of starting from scratch.  But *either* road
is complicated.  Extremely complicated.  I'm just trying to determine which to
path take.

Thanks for the reassurance.  I guess that comment is justified.  I'm not a
"professional" (payed).  Most of my projects are small, out of personal
interest or necessity.  I'm more of a hobbyist, and my first choice of
languages usually isn't C.  Additionally my C skills are almost surely not up
to speed.

But does that prevent me from attaining the coveted Programmer status?
