- Ha! You can't get rid of me. Well, I'll answer your question, and
- then for all the WWW people out there, I'll give a project status.
-
- The software to handle the format I posted already exists. If you
- want to conform to that, you can do that, and I can send you the software.
-
- Or you can rummage through the web and figure out how to format things
- yourself. It's not a huge amount of material, but there are some finer
- points you have to know.
-
- Or you can wait until I finish my editor. At this rate, who knows when
- that will be. I haven't had time to work on it in a month, even though
- it is 90 percent complete. It certainly won't be until after I get
- the FAQ stuff relatively settled (see below).
