Why wait? mg1a is available NOW from Fred Fish, and has all those features. Plus C-x 4 [OFB], C-h for help, etc., etc., etc. The menu system also includes the browser [*BUG ALERT* See below]. The mouse interface is MUCH more powerful. Mic K[a-z]* has added the ability to change fonts, colors and renditions, after he made all the rest of it work well. The only thing where mg1a looses is that it runs in the workbench window, so you can't change from interlaced to non-interlaced; you have to live with whatever mode the screen runs in. But you get source, so you can change that. Oh, yeah - you also get the VMS, 4.[23]BSD, sysV, and OS/9-68K sources on the fish disk. So you can run it on part of the other systems you may be running. And yes, it runs on a Cray. Andy, from your response, you may have the mg1a shar files (you're surely not going to unshar full GNU, are you?). If so, you'll note that part of the code carries my copyright (among others). Please contact me before using that code. BUG ALERT: between the Beta 0.4 and the final release, a bug slipped into the Amiga browser code: If you try opening a file from a menu other than the last, the system will hang. Fixes to be posted soon, I hope!
