 Subj: PYGMY 1.3 FORTHCOMING         Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE

 FS:  To Chris Waters (of xCFB, I think)

 Hi Frank,
    Nice to hear from you.  I have no idea if I'm "of xCFB" or not.
 What is it (them? her?)?  I'm connected here through MetroLink (one of
 the several networks sharing this conference) if that's what you mean...

 FS:  I am in the process of revising Pygmy

    Let me see - the version I have is ... 1.1.  Haven't seen 1.2 yet,
 but I'll make an effort to get 1.3 as soon as you release it.  I presume
 we can look forward to an announcement here?

 FS: what would have made it easier for you to feel oriented and in contr

    Well ... as long as you ask ... I'd like to see the glossary
 grouped by category, rather than just in dictionary order.  It would
 make it a lot easier to see what's there and what's not.  Also, it would
 be nice if the help files explained how to print screens, for those of
 us who prefer to browse through hard-copy when we're getting started.

    As a *really* minor issue, I think that SHOW2 should use Epson
 printer codes by default, not Oki.  It's certainly my impression that
 Epson compatible printers are the most common.

    But none of these are major issues (and some may already have been
 addressed in 1.2).  Most of my disorientation comes from being
 unfamiliar with the dialect and not having spent a lot of time with the
 system yet.  Once I get over the learning curve, I suspect I'll give
 Pygmy a lot of use.

    Anyway, thanks for your message, and thanks for an excellent little
 system.  I'll keep my eyes on this space for further developments.

 ttyl,
 Chris
