ok, i have to check that out. But you would have to keep a copy of the ANS
file without the @codes ansimation, to be able to make changes to the layout
later, right?

No WYSIWYG editing yet, but a really good compromise, as you can simply append
it at the end after editing/saving the ANSI file.

Good idea! i will give it a try. Thanks for that!
