[yandytex] yytex sources available

Wed May 2 17:11:47 CEST 2007

If someone figures out how to compile a working executable of
dviwindo and would be willing to post some instructions at the
project's web site that would be very helpful to get started. Is there
any information available regarding the compiler and development
platform that is needed to compile dviwindo?

Karl, this has been a major project for you -- no real reward of any
kind will likely come of it to you, other than knowing that we are all
extremely grateful for your having persisted in getting this done. But
maybe someday we'll see some of these sources coming around again,
under a new guise, and know that they're available because you (and,
of course, Blenda!) made the original sources available.

Now it's up to the Y&Y users, as well as other PC-based developers, to
see if there's a way they can mine the sources to further their
development or incorporate some of the truly unique Y&YTeX features
into their implementations.

Thank you again, Karl, so very much.

Ch.
