While I am not for making a non-free tool mandatory for the GOBO
development, I am all for using a closed source tool optionally -
especially if it speeds up development.

Thank you Ian for your offer. I for one would, when time is ready,
surely want to make use of your tool to bring eXML into shape.

If I understand the situation correctly, we could now run the CVS
version of UCSTRING through Fresco and start integrating it into GOBO,
right? Or are there further steps neccessary before we can do so?
