Actually, most of the stuff is MS-DOS Turbo-Pascal and not Windows (the random sentence generator is in ancient Basic). Cowan's parser is in portable C, I believe, but Nora wrote the other stuff never expecting it to be used other than on an MS-DOS machine. LogFlash source is now up there, and her other Turbo programs use about half of the LogFlash code as common routines for screen management, so you would be advised to look and see what you make of that code before tackling anything else. So far, no one has successfully ported LogFlash to any other system, though many have tried; Turbo_Pascal is apparently quite unlike curses (that is the only screen package that I KNOW has been tried). lojbab ---- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: http://www.lojban.org (newly updated!)
