I'm not entirely correct when I say that my SuperDialogs (that's the current
name of it) are a superset of 4th Dimension's layouts. What's right is that
I will include those features of 4D layouts that I think are nice, but the
SD's will not be limited to that. I plan that the package will have the
ability to list a number of data records at once, as well as print them.
I think I will use MPW Pascal to code SD, but any MPW compiler will be able
to use it, and I think MPW object files can be converted to THINK's format.
