: Hi, there could be some saving with a different character sort, but this doubled character technique becomes less attractive once mesh can move to the main grid.

What Is the license for this code? Can I assume it is the CC-by-sa like the rest of the wiki?
- XyText as it was originally released did not have the "sa" restriction; it is typically distributed & used in a closed source form. That said the community would appreciate the donation of any improvements made to it. -- Strife Onizuka 03:02, 24 September 2007 (PDT)
