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.
