Heh. Hi. :-)

Yes, I still like it (I've used it for three years or so now, perhaps
longer). Very nice reader.

I'm not all that interested in a "windowed" version, since I can run
the existing version of Yarn in an OS/2 window. :-) But a Linux Yarn
is a product I would *PAY* for. Quite a bit, actually.
Perhaps some of us could put together some seed money and make Chin an
offer for the rights to use his source code (keeping his own copyright
intact, of course) for porting to other platforms. I don't have any
great desire to release it as free (meaning GPL'ed) software, I just
want to be able to use a Yarn+Souper combination under Linux.
