	Which can imply that SWISH++ can not be used to achieve the

	The owners of the SWISH-E mailing list have graciously allowed
	it to be used to discuss SWISH++ also since they are related
	software products in terms of functionality.

	In the case of SWISH-E, on-topic items would most certainly
	include building it for a particular platform and environment
	(in SWISH-E's case, a C compiler rather than a C++ compiler).
	Other on-topic items appeared to have been indexing and
	searching topics in general (for possible new features).

	As far as incompetence, it's a statement of fact, not an
	insult.  I freely admit for example that I am incompetent at
	brain surgery, physics, chemistry, civil engineering, and an
	infinite numer of other careers and, if I attempted to perform
	any of them, I would rightly be labeled "incompetent" by any
	practioner in the field.
