Last time I tried was one of the very early versions, which was very
unstable on my system. Version3, the demo I'm trying out now, runs
stable enough to make it worth it.

See, I was being blind (maybe the lack of documentation helped my poor
eyesight? ;-)). Found the button, tried it, decided to send my DM
40,-- to Spain.

You're right. I would say Chris, if you can make a deal with the
authors of this program to include it in NC 3, go for it. Looks and
feels good, stable, easy to use, might even make me start to use such
a WYSIWYG editor, even though I'm a die-hard "hand made is better"
kind of person. To late for me though, my registration fee for
MetalWEB will be mailed of tomorrow ;-).

Comparing what I see now with what I saw when I first tried out a demo
of one of the first versions, your investment was a good one.

Right, trying to load a page I'm working on in GoldED causes a Guru
(although I believe they're not called Guru's anymore, are they?).
Same page loads fine in every Browser I used for it though.

Right, people seem to want it, as Chris pointed out, and I think
metalWEB is a good offering (did try out some others some time ago,
but was never convinced).
