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.
