Yes, quite a useful little program. Unfortunately, when I used it I hit the
"play" button. When it is playing back the text, it cannot do anything
else. Unfortunately fo me I had loaded a big text file into it. 90 minutes
later I was able to continue. :-0

Apart from this, I was impressed.

You're a bit early on the millennium bit -- that won't be for another
370-odd days!

Yes, everyone seems to have brought forward the millennium by a year...
but, that's how these weird changes happen, and history is full of
them... Well whatever, happy new pseudo-millennium then! :)

The "Play" button is a bug. There is no "Stop" button, and that too is a bug. No-one should ever press the "Play" button. Do not press the "Play" button. Happy New Year, all. I will return, hopefully, about the 2nd.
