Hi! Could someone, please, provide insight into the current state of DrawBot [1], a nice interactive graphics programming environment, originally written by Just van Rossum? I asked Just via private email some weeks ago, but either he's busy or his reply hasn't made it through my spam-filter.
The website mentions an upcoming release 2.0 and the current pages describe features which I cannot reproduce in version 0.91a avail- able for download. Among these are all text-related commands shown on the respective reference webpage [2]. I screened the available source code and could not find any code implementing these features. I'm aware of Bob Ippolito's beefed-up version [3] of DrawBot, but it shows the same effects concerning these commands and Frederik Lundh seems to have abandoned his efforts to port DrawBot to Windows [4] due to its "overforking disease." So I wonder what is the current state of the art? At least it would be nice to be able to use features as advertised on the webpages.
