Yes. Unfortunately, it can't be invoked w/ a character press (AFAIK),  
which was the main attraction of COMPOSE.exe --- now that I think  
'bout it, that's what I didn't like about popchars, had to take my  
hand off the keyboard and use the mouse to bring up its window.

COMPOSE.exe was just amazingly cool how it would allow one to tap the  
compose key, hit <space><space>, then arrow through the resultant  
list of characters to get what one needed (esp. handy for ornaments  
fonts).

Not so needful these days w/ Glyph palettes &c. --- I suppose I  
should just track down a keyboard w/ a built-in TrackPoint for here  
at work.
