Hi Bart - New version looks great!

I'm wondering if there is anyway to remove the Java runtime dependency?  Is
Java just needed for graphing/drawing functions of JavaTC?  I'm wondering
if HTML5 canvas could achieve the same...

I've considered hacking the javascript source to do this; would it be
worthwhile?

Thanks,
