I see following possible solutions: * invest a _lot_ of effort to overcome TCL's limitations. This may be only time-vaste if we would eventually reimplement XTherion from scratch -- see the next point. (It's like trying to upgrade an old car -- it's usually better and cheaper to buy a new one.) * rewrite XTherion from scratch in C++ or other non-interpreted language. This would also require great amount of work, but it could benefit from compiled and optimized code and a completely new design with all TCL-Xtherion's shiftiness in mind. We suggested some ideas for discussion a couple of weeks ago (link to http://labyrinth.speleo.sk on this list), but there was no response. If we could form a group of developers which would 1) discuss 2) implement it, we could have easy-to-use and efficient user interface. But this is possible only as a team work. * buy a better computer and use XTherion Any ideas? Martin
