Let's see. Bytext has no corporate supporters, nor is it supported by any standards organizations. It has a hard-to-read standard that requires intimate knowledge of Unicode to understand (I think), and that shows no typographical sophistication. At several points (keyboard design, markup language), the author seems to want to change the world instead of being compatible with what's there. For all their problems, I find Rosetta and Tron to be more serious competitors and more interesting than Bytext. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED], dvdeug/jabber.com (Jabber) Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org What we've got is a blue-light special on truth.
