I'm happy to announce that after a whole winter's vacation worth of hacking, Cassandra v0.9 is now finished. It should be in the j.cc.purdue.edu and cs.orst.edu NeXT ftp archives by Monday, January 22. I've responded to many of the user complaints about v0.8 and added their suggestions to v0.9. Thank you all who sent in suggestions and complaints. Major changes have been: - Smaller screen fonts and window sizes. Ability to changed screen fonts. - Addition of a "notepad," revamping of all major windows. Overview is now resizable and miniturizable. (spelling?) - It allows you now to either select 24hr (unix/military) time or am/pm (civilian) time. - All known 0.8 bugs are fixed including the overlap of months during rollover and the incorrect handling of events that reoccured over month and year breaks. - Much more user friendly, user-cautious, and it now follows (most) of NeXT interface guidelines. Although v0.9 is now ShareWare, I am not THAT desperate for money right now. So enjoy it without guilt trips. If you REALLY like it or REALLY use it, then follow your heart. One advantage for sending in your $$$ is getting the source code. Now is that worth $5 or what? Software is for sharing. I was SOOOO tempted to make v0.9 Free Software, but I didn't... I don't follow all of GNU's philosophy. But if NeXT wants to distribute it in their distribution package, I'm more than willing to write v1.0 and make it nice and VERY spiffy and VERY free for them. :) So enjoy it! Like I said, software is for sharing and enjoying. Send comments and suggestions back to me so I can improve it. And always, Do The Right Thing. :) - jiro nakamura - still an unregistered NeXT developer jiro@heights.cit.cornell.edu Ubiquitous Disclaimer: Although the folks at Cornell have helped me out a lot and I really like them, they are not responsible for anything I say or do, either mentally, spiritually, physically, metaphysically, metamentally, or metaspiritually.
