Subject: RE: TSText Files - Where are
control points?
A heartfelt
thank-you goes out to Greg, Cathi, Jane, and Rodney who all sent in their
TSText directories. It looks like Jane is the person guilty of the
improvements I saw in Los Angeles. Well done
everyone.
We will
incorporate the best of these into the next TSText release. Everyone
should review these when they come out and follow up with their own
suggestions and requirements. We need to settle into a standard set
that works for all but very exceptional cases.

You have also reminded
me of something I was meaning to post after I got back from Los
Angeles in December but completely forgot. Someone created a
really nice TXTest set that I saw during my demo there with Chen.
It had for example the Next text in reverse green,
better font sizes, etc. Whoever did it did a really great
job. I have my theories as to whom, but won't tip my hat for fear
of being incorrect. At any rate, would that individual please
raise his or her hand, and then send me a zip of the directory.
Why have you keep it to yourself? We will incorporate it into
the next release.
Yes, a version number in the TSText file
is a good suggestion and is in the works. I hope that in another
couple of iterations of VIBS TSText will calm down again and this
problem will solve itself somewhat. The AVOS AccuBasic reports
went through the same thing back in the day.

Could we put some form of version ID onto the TSText
stuff, (a readme or something) so we can keep track of items like the
instruction pages etc. Also, if folks make up a new page that is
nice, perhaps you could send it to support so that we could all look
at it and use it as appropriate.
