The reviews are in. The public is cheering. DMOUSE is a success! (And I was a Mach user...) Thanks Matt! Especially for pulling out the handler code. Sure is nice to have a little extra memory. Two things, though: First: I was in Handshake and used LMB/RMB to pop back to WorkBench, diddled around there for a while, and used LMB/RMB to pop back to Handshake and the title bar wouldn't show up until I pressed RMB. No biggie, just thought I'd mention it... Second: What have you got against clocks??? :-) Thanks again for a superior product (with source!!). Now if I just had time to learn from it...

However, I also have two "things". Here are my two: 1. When in SDB, hitting F10 to see the "output" window gets you there with no way back to the debugging window, except for clicking on the window-to-back gadget. (Yeah, I know... nothing can be done about it except to turn off dmouse (no! not that!). I also can live with it.). 2. The other is also in SDB: while debugging, the hotkey is apparently being trapped before dmouse ever sees it. I suspect it's just a function of priorities. All in all though, Matt, my vote is *not* to change anything. After all, you've given them the source, and they can add the features they want. (Yes, I have my flameproof suit on. I know lots of folks may not know how to add the features they feel they "need". But thats part of the fun of computers as a hobby: learning by doing.) I've seen too many cases of code which was originally useful, but grew to such a behemoth that they were unuseable, unreasonable and unsupportable. I like it just as it is!. ... > > Richard Davis > Kansas City Software Services Thanks, Phil -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Staub "I do NOT approve.
