Commodore has put some effort into making the asl.library for 2.0 which has a full 2.0 look, tries to be powerful.. easy to use.. has a font and file requester that are pretty good - and 2.0 makes a palette requester into a single gadtools gadget in a window. The string requester is about the only thing 2.0 doesn't provide. I would like to request that reqtools.library not be called directly, that people call the asl.library instead (for 2.0-specific apps obviously), and Nico can write an asl wedge to get his requester called, just like the kr_freq.library. This way people really do have a choice, rather than having what you consider "better" forced on them. -- ...Steve's Signature (when Steve's at work)...
