Yes, I'm out there somewhere! :-) I have written a whole library of powerful
tools to make Intuition programming easier. I have not yet release these tools
(called the Mitchell/Ware Libraries) but plan to at some point in the
future. The source was provided for the sole purpose of detailing the
algorithm used to generate the 'waves' in Vibra. I'm afraid that if
you want to make modifications, etc. that you will have to rewrite the
menu section- which wouldn't be too diffucult, but just a pain! Sorry, folks.
however, if I get more requests for the Mitchell/Ware Libraries, I will
consider releasing them sooner. They contain tools for windows and requesters
as well. Also IFF routines and BOB support.
