Re: May I send your ZZ URLs to 'The Economist'?

Hi Les--

Thanks!  Will do so and put out the URLs to the ZZ development
 mailing list.  You might want to get on it, but it's mainly full of the
 GzigZag work-- at
zzdev@xxxxxxxxxx

It's going full throttle, under the agenda of young Thomas Lukka-- who
 became famous in Finland for getting his Ph.D at age 20.  He's a sweet,
 radiant kid with full hacker energy and a determined vision which is not
 fully known to me.  

We have agreed that it will meet my specs, but I don't know when.
 The specs are for the "Floating World" extensions, written up at

The main thrusts of that project appear to be:
1)  Making it fast and robust in Java;
2)  Going to a self-compiling version, which he calls "bootstrapping"
 (I don't fully understand this);
2)  Satisfying various concerns I don't quite understand;

Meanwhile, I'm thinking carefully about my next set of specs.

All best, Ted
