Yeah, that's right; but the "glue code" I've had to write for this has been really minimal. Certainly less effort than translating C to JavaScript with regexps (that on its own is something of an accomplishment). I didn't port everything so maybe I missed some more complex bits. I mean, if this works well for you then that's grand; just wanted to point out to others that \-commands are typically very "non-magic" and you don't need to go the route of translating C code.
