Maybe I'm just not picky... In MacIP 4.0.1, when you FTP something which isn't in text format, it puts up that "Converting File" dialog, and locks up the system. The old one converted it in the background while FTPing. I hate it this way. Also, I've noticed that sometimes double clicking on a directory, doesn't always go into it (usually does.) I also hate that it does that long list, which takes a long time, when I usually don't want it. Then the telnet window sometimes gets messed up, characters seem lots off the left edge, and windows don't update properly if they aren't front most while scrolling. And it keeps asking if I want to save the preferences WAY too often. And it will ask to save the preferences when I didn't make any changes. Those "Save Preference for..." dialogs really get annoying... And I wish it did colors too. That's all I can think of off hand... ............................................................ : : : Norman Franke, III nf0i+@andrew.cmu.edu : : Special Projects Carnegie Mellon University : : Macintosh Users Group, VP Pittsburgh, PA : :..........................................................: "Why can't I get more quota?"
