Yes.  I am trying-- is anyone willing to help?

It would have to be 'Geos-aware', or rather a Geos application.  I need to
figure out the file structure, etc-- or possibly get the instructions on
how to use Geos's assembler, Esp.  The SDK docshave no info on this at all.  I
also need someone to design a good interface for it that would look good on a
PC and a Zoomer.

:)  I've had a lot of people express support, but no help.  :(
A major difficulty has been the Object-orientation of Geos-- I want to use
it to the max, but it's hard to get info on, and harder to design a syntax
for.

Oh, I need a name-- GeoForth?  Too boring.
