They look like mesostics 
in the same way that this looks 
like a haiku.

They sure look like mesostics to me. Why are you saying that they are not mesostics? I'm guessing you are referring to the mesostic rules here?

It's a "mesostic generator" that doesn't generate mesostics.

Well, the idea is nice - and the look is attractive,
but a pretty car that doesn't work properly is
pretty much useless no matter what kinds of 
variables or, as the software creator states,
"extended features" and "additional options"
it has. I may drop the fellow a line to have him
keep me up-to-date on when he gets it working.

best,

Still nice though :-)

Well of course, a lot of variables should be available to the user, as to the exact nature of the mesostics produced.
Let's hope they get there!
(Let us know when they will.)

The only real problem with the examples shown
is that they are not mesostics, so the software
needs to work. Trying John's name with the
CNN setting (and the Louis Goldstein example)  
still brings up non-mesostics as well apparently.
