We decided to add full Unicode support which cost us about 3 months. Beta this spring, multilevel numbering included.

We thought so, too, but then we decided to include full Unicode support in TextMaker 2005 after all, and this will delay things until this spring. Stay tuned, TextMaker 2005 is going to be exciting...

I haven't tried NVU so far, but they claim it's basically Mozilla Composer plus site management. What don't you like about NVU? User interface? Missing features? (which ones?) Support?

We'll be back on Jan 3.

Announced so far are Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian. All three will hopefully be released early 2005.

No secrets... we develop code with our own toolkit, and this toolkit calls low-level functions in the respective operating system. We just need very basic function calls (paint a pixel here, a rect there, wait on mouse input etc.). But if you develop apps from scratch, you don't want that ultra-low ...

I know this is extremely challenging. But there is no real / good SVG editor for Linux.

At the moment there is no good working sheet software for the Sharp Zaurus on the market. We haven't decided yet whether to publish PlanMaker for Zaurus. The decision depends on th...

Will we be able to redistribute forms and applications to others if we develop forms and applications with DataMaker (2004)? I mean as a runtime engine as in the case of Access and Paradox. Or do we have to pay royalty for each launcher. Will DataMaker (2004) support Linux and PostGreSQL? Currently...
