Hello Larry!

Maybe. :-)

It's not that good actually :) but I wanted to post it here as
soon as possible because I thought I could have helped someone.
Seeing no response I was afraid Listar did something bad to the
attachment...

I atteched them as separate files, but Listar does not like that.
They'll be on the library and on my reb site soon (I'll put it
back up today). You can put it to your rebsite too if you want and
feel it useful.

Maybe I could add color support even today (I didn't do that in
that first version because I did't have the time to carefully read
the chapter about graphics that day :). Images should be easy too;
vector graphics would require thinking about designing a good dialect
(any idea? how would you like it to be?).
I'd like help on the font issue, which could require some time
(reading TrueType or Type1 fonts, writing a SIZE-TEXT-alike
function, etc.).
Regards,
Gabriele.
