I would like to say that the manual is an _excellent_ piece or material.
In general I am fairly curious about why xforms is so well documented and
supported on so many platforms. It is, as far as I can tell, free. I see
that special permission (payment) needed for it's commercial use, but
still I doubt (but do not know) that Dr. T.C. Zhao is not making a great
deal of money with it. In any case, I'm quite pleased w/ it. Keep it up
everyone who is involved. One question I have is.. can software written
using the xforms library be released under the GNU public license?
Thanks,
Jeff Drost
