It all sounds very interesting. Can't wait to see it. One question; you appear to be using a lot of C conventions, which is very nice, why this funky little incompatibility? > \l Line Feed Char (LF) > \n New Line char (CRLF pair) > \r Carriage Return char (CR) Was it really necessary to have available as a single unit? If so, why not create a new notation for it such as "\$" ? The way you have it, you have broken two of the most important C character notation conventions. Now if you were to provide the facility to have newlines (0xa) be converted to crlf's on output that would be useful. Keep up the good work. Richard Foulk Honolulu, Hawaii
