Neil and Dov, Thank you for valuable feedback. I might be barking up the wrong tree. However, WinSoft is connected to Adobe by more than a mere license. One technology person at WinSoft was also loaned for hire to Adobe possibly in exchange for the code to InDesign granted to WinSoft to integrate their ME plug-in into the InDesign code. Plus Adobe through WinSoft tried to purchase Diwan lock stock and barrel and its Manhattan Graphics technology in Adil's bi-directional manner, like WinSoft's ME, but much more intuitive Quark-like user interface than Adobe InDesign. Likely, Adobe thought Diwan could destroy if they could afford it. For example, if Quark bought Diwan and released Quark Plus for double the price, perhap[s Adobe would eventually fail and fold. I don't that could ever happen, but it was Adobe's fear. The ME factor is fascinating, really brilliant (be proud, Kamel) because the needs of every language of the world are addressed though IDME, OpenType, and Unicode, fulfilling the original dreams and plans for Adobe PostScript by Warnock and Geschke, the founders of Adobe with Apple under John Scully. Now, Adil showed me something in Washington similar to Steve Jobs' cisit to PARC, similar Warnock and Geschke's plans for Adobe based om PARC ideas (are they from PARC?) I'm simply asking Adobe (not WinSoft, Dov Ber) first to help me. Don't repeat Xerox's mistakes. Perhaps, I'll turn for help to Fred Ibrahami of Quark instead of Pierre and Caroline at Winsoft.
