I took a short look at the ILU Project and it sounds quiet good. But at this time I am working at the kernel functions of SciTeXt and try to make it a bit more OO. Once we have a stable version ILU support can be added to make SciTeXt easy to extend and modular, so one can use the SciTeXt functionality in it's own program. All this sounds great, but I think it is not the time for it yet. Did you take a look at SciTeXt - it's awful and if I don't start to structure it first, things will become very complicated. But we can keep up to date with the development of SciTeXt and ILU and perhaps they will come together one day. If the source of SciTeXt becomes more readable, perhaps someone else can come up with the task of modularizing SciTeXt and adapt it to ILU... ciao, Matthias
