Alternative phrasings are welcome. Like all of us, I'm just a beginner at
lojban.

Unfortunately, there can often be ambiguity about this topic in the

Would you please upload the source to the same place where the program is

Maybe someone who's knowledgable with both Delphi/Pascal and the various
free toolkits can make heads-or-tails of it.

(I programmed in Pascal ten years ago -- maybe I'd understand enough of
the idea to make a linux version, maybe not. If not me, someone else
might.)

Thank you very much!

That may well be true. I don't know.
