A work in progress, {\tt JSBox} is a self-contained
library---written in portable C---that instantiates sandbox-able,
\TeX-language interpreters within the memory space
of any C, Objective-C, or C++ 32- or 64-bit client
program. Built and documented anew, {\tt JSBox}
is faithful to the \TeX\ language's primitives,
syntax, typesetting algorithms, measurements, data
structures, and speed. At the same time, it fixes---in an
upwardly compatible manner---a variety of important
problems with or lacun\ae\ in the current \TeX\ engine's
implementation. These include integral support for
21-bit Unicode, namespaces, OpenType font tables
and metrics, job-specific 8-bit to 21-bit Unicode
mapping, run-time settable compatibility levels,
full 32-bit fixed-point math, and more.%

Especially pertinent to interactive applications---such as an
eBook reader---is that all of a document's pages can
optionally be kept as \TeX\ data structures in memory
after a job is done, with direct random access of any
requested page exported to the client program's screen
without file I/O or DVI or PDF conversion if unneeded.
Tracing (including recursive expansion, re-tracing
interrupted commands, alignments, math, etc.) and
all error messages have been significantly improved
over what \TeX\ does. The author will demo what
{\tt JSBox} can do now, and discuss what it
could do in the future.
