There's not a cat in hell's chance of it being a European, especially not Platini! The electorate that supported Blatter will be the deciding factor in the next election and every election to come as long as it's one association one vote. Africa and Asia are the kingmakers and as they see Platini as a traitor for initially supporting Blattter but then being amongst those most insistent on his removal he's toast! And since the resignation is seen as the result of a Euro-American conspiracy no other candidate from either Europe or the States is in with a prayer either.

Probably not Prince Ali bin al Hussein. Anyway as long as we don't get another psychopath. Next lets have another look at 2022 World Cup - a lunatic decision which will stand as a lasting monument to what FIFA has become under Blatter.

In 1988, I discovered a program called "Tornado" which was subsequently renamed "Info Select".
Thanks to some PC games in circulation at that time which also contained the word "Tornado" in their title, Google doesn't really understand what I'm trying to find, and Bing seems to be downright hostile to the term, "Abandonware".
(Can't imagine why  )
In 1992, I discovered a program called "Memory Mate" by Broderbund.
As best I can tell, they do not acknowledge its existence today.
Similar circumstances surround Memory Mate with respect to Google and Bing; i.e., no can find.
Complicating their defacto absence is the fact that, if I ever could find them in the first place, they are 16-Bit MS-DOS programs, to which, current day windows seems to be even more hostile.
If anyone reading this remembers either of these two programs, and can suggest a workable alternative, I'll be reading your post with interest and gratitude.

Not sure what those apps did, but I regularly use something I wrote called Intertexti[^]
The CP article is old, if you're interested, I'll create a repo on GitHub for the latest code. Should really do that anyways.

Never really got to working on that. I have an idea for one using DevExpress controls, but VS doesn't want to cooperate with me on loading them.

Interesting, I've never had problems with DevExpress and VS.
Personally, I'd love to make Intertexti a web app for the public to use.

And right after I posted that, VS started working.  Still no control icons, though.

OK, here's the GitHub repo:
https://github.com/cliftonm/intertexti[^]
If you have problems, add an issue. If you want to contribute, let me know and I'll add you as a contributor (I don't want to deal with the whole fork/pull request stuff.)

Hi Marc,
I just tried to compile Intertexti (the one from Github) and I get "Invalid Resx file. Could not find file '..\bin\x86\Debug\about.xml'. Line 123, position 5.". I looked for it and tried to make sure I'm not making a fool of myself here but it seems it's actually missing. Possible or PEBCAK?

Oh crap! I got really distracted with work issues and totally forgot about this. No, it's me. Thanks for the reminder, I'll fix it soon! (And flag your email again as "very important!")
