1 "Xilize" is pronounced EX-ill-eyes — rhymes with realize and textilize.

Its symbol is the 14th letter of the Greek alphabet (uppercase Ξ, lower case ξ), written as Xi in English and pronounced zye by English speakers. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 60. — from Wikipedia.

2 These pages were moved here from another host on June 17, 2006, and are currently being retrofitted into the SourceForge environment. (Still working on that as of May 5, 2007.)

3 For each document, this column indicates the Xilize version for which the document was written. Those marked version 2 are being upgraded. Nearly all the version 3.0 changes are additions — that is, the version 2 docs are quite useful in their current state.
