    I've never met AspicScript before. I know that Philip Hazel wrote RISC OS software a long time ago. He is the author of the Perl Compatible Regular Expression library which is included in various major programming
    languages these days, including PHP. He also wrote EXIM which is one of
    the most widely used SMTP mail servers.

    I like the way AspicScript allows you to define objects on the drawing and arrows linking them, and it is responsible for deciding where the lines
    and arrows will be drawn to link the objects. That is very useful for
    flow charts and network diagrams.

    Thank you for your work on this!
