        If you want to spread the information, why not do just what you suggest? Demonstrate it. Use some screen captures, etc -- whatever is needed to show how neat and useful it is. Above all, lots of people need a demonstration that it really is simple to program in CP. Committing to a programming language takes a staggering committment and leap of faith. Most, like me, have tremendous amounts of legacy code to deal with, and now must contend with multiple languages and applications all screaming for attention. People need proof that CP will be easy to use. Looking at available documentation, I don't see the proof. (Maybe the new book will help, if it ever becomes available in the US.) As for spreading the word, the Web will take care of that. Google will quickly make anything that is truly useful available to almost the whole world.

Sincerely,
Rex Couture
