Sorry, Kat. As sporadic observer only of the demise of your culture
I gained obviously mistaken impression 'guys' were sufficiently gender
neutral and thus safe to be fed even to kats.

Well, I won't. But with so much time on my hands I can always
reconstruct everything, can I not? :)

Jeez, Leviathan, you must be living on a different planet, or in a
parallel universe that has only lousy communications with mine. What
on earth are you talking about, have I missed anything? Do you mean
the translator? Have you ever seen it used in anger? What else is
there to celebrate?
We are witnessing a decline, man, no matter what spin you care to put
on it. Many people, good people, departed. Don't tell me, Pete,
Jacques, Chris, Jeff, Colin, Ralf and many others left, or virtually
left, because they could not hack the pace! Even David Cuny is reduced
to less than a short note a day on average. In fact without Thomas and
Derek's announcements of announcements of changes to version 0.54 and
Judith's understandable struggles to emulate unseen VB, we would not
have a list.
>From my perspective, David's Py has been just about the only
significant new development in the last twelve months or more. And
even that has been denied entry to the Official pages, because, I am
told, Robert perceives it not as a challenge, but as a threat. (How am
I doing, Everett?)
I must also mention Ray's Allegro. That is an exciting promise. I hope
Ray really finishes it. But then again, I will not probably be able to
enjoy it terribly much. Not if Robert insists on treating 'dos
programmers only', as he so aptly put it, as second rate citizens.
