That's all the info I have.  Such a version of the engine may be 
released prior to FlipsIDE, or maybe not.

Aside from convenience, FlipsIDE offers nothing new.  The engine is how 
the engine is, and that's outside of the scope of what FlipsIDE can 
address either way.

As a third party enthusiast, my job is merely to make tools that 
demonstrate the power and flexibility of Transcript.  If the engine 
keepers have special needs beyond what was in the engine when they 
acquired it, I imagine they'll devote resources to that that as they see 
fit.

Thanks! :)
