You can grab the (momentarily experimental) CVS tree fork at
http://con-struct.sourceforge.net - this is just some test to see how
Shapes in general and UrShapes in paricular should work. John Palmieri
has done the work by now, but I'm right now diving into the code to
see where I can lend a hand. A part of my diploma thesis depends on
UrShapes, and I'm bound to finish it by the end of september, so
UrShapes shall be at least somewhat usable (as in: doing the job while 
not constantly crashing). BTW: What does tentative mean?

UrShapes will be able to embed themselves into other UrShapes so you
can build a tree - that will be saved in xml in the exact
order. <OT>ConStruct will use this functionality to create a
graphical frontend to an XML-backended interpreter language.</OT>

Say this again when UrShapes work...
