There is one minor problem: PolyGlot is a GPL program, and the actual PolyGlot book code cannot be used by other programs unless these programs are also released under the GPL. This isn't a problem to me (my program already is GPLed), but it would be unacceptable for most authors. This isn't a big problem, though. It wouldn't be terribly hard to write code for creating and using books in the PolyGlot format without using any actual code from PolyGlot. Tord
