Something around here doesn't like sending mail to Rutgers. However, the comments here apply to the demo source discussion, so you may find it interesting anyway. -------- Unsent message follows --------------- Jason, thanks for the comments! You should be glad to know that 2 of your three wishes are in the process of being granted... 1) Use of "Local DP". there are 2 of us working on the demo sources. I don't know about Jim (the other guy), but I show how to use local dp in 3 of my programs (in my custom window and control, and in the custom sorter for the List manager demo). So that should help you out. 2) Font Previewer - there is one guy here who is working on a Font Stats program. It is his first GS program, so he is not coming along with it fast enough to get it out on the first disk. However, he does have it showing what the fonts look like (amoung other things). Hey! How about HodgePodge!?! that shows fonts. Granted, it is not the ideal Font Previewer program, but it'll do in a pinch. 3) Make for APW. That certainly seems to be a big request. I think I have a copy of your program (there is a file in my directory called GSMake that does what you described), but the programmers working on APW will probably want to do their own. However, it may not happen for a while, as resources for APW are kinda scarce right now while we are working on the MPW IIGS cross-development system. If you have any other suggestions, let me know!
