Hello: I have not died, I have just been busier than ever before in my life. On May 4, 90 you asked which libraries I own and like. Other than Repertoir and the User Interface Library from Software Artistry, I don't own any other libraries. The UI lib is terrible. The demo's don't even work properly. However, at work we use the Btree and Windows libraries by Solid Software, Inc ( West Chester, OH ) and they are really good. In fact, exellent is probably a more accurate description. The documentation is extensive and very good. The Btree stuff is lightning fast and the window stuff works as advertised, no funnies or unexpected surprises. The libraries contain more code than you would expect. The only minor negative point is that they seem to be taking longer than they expected ( and we ) to get the versions for the V2 compiler ready to deliver, but I think this my have to do with the new compiler ....... We discovered a problem in the JPI V2 R1.04 compiler when doing file I/O but have lost the exact version of the code that caused the problem and I would like to know if anybody has / had similar problems. When the line FIO.WrLn( MyFile ); occurred in a program, the CR LF was not written to the output file but all other output appeared in the file. Most strange.

Hello: Thank you for your response concerning what libraries you use. I Is your company considering getting Solid Software's Windows Professional? It allows you to do a lot of user-interface prototyping and automatic code generation. -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!273!101!Peter.M..Perchansky Internet: Peter.M..Perchansky@f101.n273.z1.fidonet.org
