I would only help _the_other_ people, not flame anyone! I kind of cry when I see a great pice of software like the Calender, or great Idea like SFX and DC-desktop and it then don't work! The Idea I had was that if I could show what people did wrong, other people did not have to do the errors. - and ultimately I could get more good programs! I was wrong, people don't care about quality. Many people blame TOS for many bugs. I have heard people claim that there is a bug in the AES that means that it can drop the menus while the VDI is drawing (also long time programmers that would claim that they was among the best 1% of programmers). And who blames them, there are so many programs that do just that. (also Commercial) And who belive you when you tell them that it is a bug in the programs, and not in the operating system. (some even suggest that the programs that work correctly, uses some kind of workaround!) I had a list of topics. On top of the list was the use of 'wind_update()'. -Klaus... (leaving).
