Actually, I've sometimes had a problem where encountering an error causes
XCOMP to stop dead in its tracks, most often when that session is not the one
that has focus. I usually run XCOMP from a batch file, the command for
which redirects the output to a designated logfile. Roman already has improved
the program, up to the present version, but I feel the major remaining area for
further improvement (assuming the strictly command line interface is retained)
has to be in error handling / reporting. There are probably also some things it
runs into that could optionally be ignored. I hope he will have the opportunity
to continue developing it, as it is already a fine tool.
