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.
