I'd like to thank everyone who has responded to my request for Applications needed for the IIGS. I do have one minor point to make. Some have requested entire operating systems, CDA's, and NDA's. These, in _my_ mind, by _my_ definition, are not applications in the classic sense. By application, I mean a stand alone program that will run in concert with the current and future releases of GS/OS. Now, to summarize some do-able ideas I've heard so far. 1. GS/OS desktop terminal/telecomm program. This would be a good project since it would allow many, including me, to learn just how to do such a thing properly. 2. An animation package for the GS. This _really_ lights _my_ fire. Apple is supposed to be working on an Animation Toolkit for the IIGS (they showed an early version at KansasFest) but no release or other information is available at this time. I think such a package just might fly even if Apple doesn't release the animation toolkit in a timely manner. There were other items mentioned, however, a lot of the items didn't fall into a marketable category or did not fit the "Application" definition, above. I'd also like to ask you all to please include what you'd be willing to pay for such applications. Bottom line: Keep those suggestions coming folks! I can't promise I'll do them, but I will listen. To the person who wanted a file control CDA, check out FileTools version 1.1 by Floyd "I'm not an AI unit" Zink. It's pretty neat! -- *Scott Gentry |UUCP:uunet!ingr!gentrys | * *Intergraph Corporation |America Online: AFL Scott |I speak for myself * *2051 Mercador Drive |GEnie: W.GENTRY | * *Reston, VA 22091 |CIS:72000,1536 (rarely) | *

Widow & orphan protection is a means to eliminate the very annoying habit some word processors have of leaving one line of a paragraph at the beginning or end of a page and the rest on a different page. I know the PC version of WordPerfect has widow & orphan protection. Maybe the Apple version has it too. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey T.
