Hi all - "mooseman" here.... :)

( I chose that GitHub nickname because I really like moose - they're
big and dopey and kind of cuddly-looking.... :) )

Great to be joining this group! It's really good to see that there are
other "public domain" supporters out there - hopefully the numbers
will increase steadily over the next few months and years.

As mentioned in a previous post, I have a repo on GitHub. If you want
working code from there, your best bet is to go for pdspread and
pdeditor. Neither are finished yet, but they do work. By "work", I
mean that -
* In pdeditor, you can run the editor and enter text and scroll
around. ( It even has a simple macro facility to record keystrokes.
That's working too. Press F5 to record keystrokes, and F5 again to
stop recording ).
* In pdspread, running the code creates a spreadsheet that you can
enter data into.
* Note - Neither of the apps can yet open and save files - I hope to
add that functionality soon.

Quite a few other bits and pieces in my repo. An app called
"teagit" ( I've whimsically called it that because (in reference to
the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galazy) - it is "almost, but not quite,
entirely unlike Git." It's more of a toy app than a real one, at
present, but may be interesting anyway.

At present, I'm getting into my "pdfpc" project - "public-domain
functional programming in C". To start with, that'll involve code
which does FP manipulations on arrays (head, tail, zip and so on).
I've actually just found a page which has monads done in C. I don't
know whether the code is P.D. though, so I've contacted the author to
find out.

That'll do for now. I hope to drop in here regularly to keep up with
what's happening!
Bye for now -
