Documentation release only
Partially translated into English

Keep-up release. Few parser's updates.

Few updates...

Number format changed to recursively. Few other updates...

Another release. I tried to convert documentation into docbook, but it wasn't a good idea. I haven't enought time, so there is only few updates in demo programs. So, that is it.

New experimental version avaible. Few upgrades, sample editors for text, sound wave and pictures avaible - only base for format to be implemented in it in future. Look into documentation for few other news, if you are interested - I don't think anybody is..
