I received three pieces of email today from people who are concerned that there won't be a free version of Frontier 5. Don't worry. At some point in the future there may be a commercial release of Frontier, but there will absolutely be a free release of Frontier 5. There may be a feature set that's commercial, but that hasn't been decided yet. A picture taken at Sunday's 49ers game in SF. That's me in the foreground (looking serious!) and Aryeh, Jacob and Marc Canter in the background. Go Niners! A great Frontier site. You'll laugh! PC WEEK: Gates says DOJ action could kill Windows. Don't worry Bill, we'll save it! CNN: IBM shows Internet-ready car. Is it scriptable? Slate reviews Esther Dyson's new book. Was it worth the effort to port Frontier to Windows? Read on... From a Sun engineer who's been playing with Frontier 5.0a16/Win: "I am ... blown away is the right way to describe my feeling. In fact, it's eerily like when I first discovered Emacs. At that time I wrote a congrat email to James Gosling, and now I'm writing one to you! This is a winner idea. Having an ODB with a name space and stored scripts and the scripts have access to the name space directly. First time I heard about it I said, yeah sure that's nice, it just didn't hit home how powerful this is until I actually used it." That feels so incredibly good! The answer is yes, it was worth the trouble. Let's have fun! Here's a list of all the UserLand-hosted mail lists, on one page. Two new lists: Scripting Announcements and Frontier-newbies. Our mail server, mail.scripting.com, was off the air, but it's back now.
