   Hi, Ardith Hinton!

   Sorry for silence. I am busy with... guess with what? I am rewriting my   
   ReformatorQuoter app for... Linux! ;-) Do you know that Windows, an   
   American operating system, has been declared in Russia as undesirable   
   product of an enemy state, and there had been issued an order to refuse   
   from it (in all state structures) and rewrite all applications to the   
   Russian version of Linux (a Debian clone). It it very funny and I have   
   some fun too, having a chance to meet with Linux and its developing tool   
   Qtcreator. I like it in general, although the concepts of the program   
   should be changed and it will take time. But it will be cooler working   
   with different character coding systems.   
      
   Bye, Ardith!
