In response to this, I'd like to ask, very sincerely, just what applications users would like to see? I asked this question on America Online and _nobody_ answered. The one category of application that I don't really want to hear about is the game. It is my belief that it is a tiring battle to get a game published on the IIGS, so please limit responses to productivity applications since publication of applications isn't as uphill a climb. <<<< Let's see... I want Tex, Latex, Framemaker, FLEX, BISON, a decent C++ compiler, Turbo Pascal (Turbo C++ too, what the heck), a decent assembler (if only Brian Fitzgerald would finish LISA816), a really good drawing program (Canvas 3.0), TrueType, Multifinder, a decent mouse-based text editor (simple to use, yet powerful), ICON, SNOBOL4, SETL, LISP, Prolog, a decent linker, a decent database program (like 4th Dimension or Omnis 5), ... Some of these aren't "applications", but you get the idea. *** Randy Hyde
