  I've been using Excalibur with Textures 1.5 for about a month now, and it
works beautifully for me---I highly recommend it. The only "problem" with 
it is that it is necessary to close the file in Textures before opening it  
with Excalibur to spell-check, but this is a minor inconvenience. By the 
way, it is apparently designed for LaTeX, but works perfectly with plain 
TeX files.  I hope that Blue Sky will make arrangements with the author to 
let them integrate it into Textures.
