Not raw ascii glory -- hex...get it right. And now I don't end all my programs by ctrl+alt+del but ones that lock up I do (eg: your program). Also, why announce your program for beta testing and then say don't worry about reporting bugs since you have a new version coming out soon anyway...what a waste of time. Oh and you can put your ZML in .txt's and package them with an installer. You can then guarantee the txts are properly "formatted".

control-alt-delete? is that how you end all your programs? :+) i recommend you try the "quit" button instead, or choose "quit" or "exit" under the file menu. but if that's a bug, which is entirely possible -- to be expected in fact -- in a beta-version, i'll fix it. but please take the bug-reports to the beta-test listserve, so they'll be logged. but don't bother with doing that _now_. as your version is almost 3 months old. a new version will be out very soon, and you should wait to test that one instead...
P.S. Why are you hiding the etexts in your code instead of making them separate .txt's?
first things first. priorities. and control of the degrees of freedom for enhanced troubleshooting the first objective is to get the program solid. to focus on that, it's wise to use content that i _know_ has been correctly formatted in z.m.l. once the app is acting correctly and is stable, i'll turn to texts that might be marked up wrong, confident that if i get unexpected behavior, it's due to an incorrect text or a defective z.m.l. rule, in all likelihood, and not some bug in the program. but the e-texts aren't really "hidden" right now. if you scrutinize any version of the program in a file-viewer, you will see the e-texts inside, "hiding" in plain sight in their raw-ascii glory. they can be recovered, in full, easily, any time. -bowerbird _______________________________________________ gutvol-d mailing list gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org http://lists.pglaf.org/listinfo.cgi/gutvol-d
