Not classified, but something on which I've been working for over ten years,
and it is finally reaching a release point.  I'll be putting out beta test
copies in a few weeks.  It's not my "Universal Book™".  That will come still
later.  It IS confidential, and a totally different approach to eBooks.  It
makes no attempt to be either small, or extremely fast; just fast enough, and
really convenient.

BTW, Chris.  I may be working with something that can produce the Mystery
Crash - disappearing text - consistently enough for you to figure out what the
cause is.

Sorry for mixing so many things together in one thread, but I started it, and
it's short.

Thanks everyone,

Joe Wilkins

PS  --  I'm coming up to my first anniversary on the List.  I don't know what
it was like before I arrived, but you guys have made some truly remarkable
progress this year.  I wish to thank everyone who has participated in this
Rennaíssance of Future Basic for their spirit and energy.  It has been
something truly wonderful to behold. We've all been the benefactors in one way
or another.
