I promise that as soon as more info is available, I will pass it along for them. They are also working on a 'Tear-Off Menu Developers Kit' which will allow developers to Quickly and Easily turn their menus into TOM's. This too is under development but if you REALLY need it immediately, you can purchase it for $50 from MindVision. I will be more than glad to answer any questions about the INIT or the Developers Kit as I have been testing both for a while now and am quite familiar with both. Disclaimier: I have not other connection with MindVision than as a tester of their products - though I do hope they do well! +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ + + Any thing I say may be taken as + + Leonard Rosenthol + fact, then again you might decide+ + President, LazerWare, inc. + that it really isn't, so you + + + never know, do you?? + + leonardr@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu + + + GEnie: MACgician + MacNET: MACgician + + Delphi: MACgician + AppleLink: D0025 + + + + +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
