Project Universal Text
The Way Ahead
Universal Text is an implementation of the text theory presented in my book Text-Oriented Software. After some years experimenting with the Universal Text Interpeter, it is time to plan the way ahead: a family of programs beginning with a rewrite of the existing interpreter and ending with a complete operating system.
At these pages I have started collecting material that describes the whole project and its parts.
The Text Engine is currently under development. See its website (in German):

Forerunner

The Universal Text Interpreter is stable and in productive use for generating my websites and books. It is an interpreter for Universal Text written in Perl.
