Has anyone actually created and used gadgets using the Egad program ? My machine crashes at random points. Is there an official document describing it's use ? (I got it from a BBS that didn't have documentation). Has anyone used any other Gadget editor to produce working gadgets ? Any help would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks ! Craig

I sure does work, inbetween crashes that is. I used it to create and entire screen of image gadgets, and text for Galileo. It took me less that two hours to do what would've take a couple of days of bit- twiddling to do. I does generate too many comments though. The source was over 70K at first, but dropped down to 40K after I dumped all of the comments. It is a bit cumbersome to use, but once I got the hang if it, it worked beautifully. -- *** mike (powered by M&Ms) smithwick *** "ever felt like life was a game, and someone gave you the wrong instruction book?"
