I know that there are people at Symantec who read this newsgroup, so I thought I would bounce this issue off of you (and the rest of the readership as well). I'm about ready to post a program for greatly reducing the size of PostScript files being uploaded to Unix to print (especially if you use a lot of downloaded fonts). The Think Class Library has made this rather ambitious effort possible (it's my first Mac application, though far from my first program in general) and I am very happy with how the TCL has helped me. There is one minor glitch I'd like to get rid of, though, and I'm wondering if anyone at Symantec has a workaround, or if I should just go and change the TCL source (which they thoughtfully provide.) If I switch layers while a PostScript file is being stripped, the StripFonts windows are all deactivated properly, and the status window continues to report on the progress of the stripping task. The problem happens when the task is finished: This window gets closed, and the TCL (incorrectly) highlights the next lowermost window. Since the program is in the background, >none< of its windows should be highlighted. Any ideas?
