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.
Ken
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.
