That is true. It's the so-called "YES: The Next Generation" (no, that's
not its name!) I've mentioned a few times. I had to do a lot of
rewriting in order to port the code to OS/2 (a long time promise), and
then I decided to fix a few things I'd grown to dislike about the
current version.

This project grew into a major feat because I kept on changing my mind
about things, adding to the features and finding lots of bugs and basic
inconsistencies that required rethinking and more re-coding.

Then came a period where I was very busy with school and didn't have the
time to play with YES, and there it was been until a few weeks ago when
I started catching up on this list among other things.

Now I'm back and should be able to do a lot of work in the next couple
weeks, and we'll see how far it gets me... :)
