[aplusdev] A+ vs. K

Thanks. Yes that's what I meant, although I do realize that the 
A+/K GUI paradigm makes that distinction less valid than in most 
languages.

Is that sort of stuff in the public source tree? And is there a "The
Implementation of A+" (or some such) white paper offering an
overview of the internals?

OTOH, I am surprised by the lack of a Windows version. I know 
A+ is used (amongst other things) to deliver applications to end-
users and I would have thought that forcing them to use Exceed
to access some Unix-only apps doesn't go down very well those
days. Will that change in the foreseable future? You mentioned
"other porting efforts" in your lists of recent developments. Is an
NT or W2K port on that list?
