   (actually, GNU GPL is pretty much a turnoff for me, I bear and contribute to   
   FPC's due to its many virtues, but that doesn't mean 100% I'm happy with it)   
      
   Anyway, why would I bother. The same goes for FPC, and it is mature. And   
   even GPC is waaay more mature than that.

   Due to the extreme secrecy, I can only assume it is something involving the   
   last bits of nuclear research in Dos :-)
