I too have just spent several days porting an poring over interviews 3.0. First: Nifty! I like it. Second: What I need is examples. Good doc is hard to write. It's hard to keep accurate and up to date. I think that for an experienced InterViews programmer, the time it takes to write a page of example code is much less than the time to write a page of quality doc, and folks learn abstract concepts monkey-see- monkey-do much easier than trying to understand prose descriptions. For every class, or every closely related group of classes, I'd like to see a one- or two-page example demonstrating its use. This would help clear up my confusion over what classes implement the 2.6 (interactors) style and which ones do the 3.0 (glyphs) style and which ones do both. Plus, to see if example code is up to date, all I've got to do is compile it and see if it works. I can trust it much easier than a man page. I'd REALLY like to see more work on iclass: * if I'm browsing something like: class A{ public: bcd(int x, int y); } I'd like to be able to click on bcd() and see: * the code that implements it (the REAL doc :) * the man page that explains it.

I agree completely. Alas, there are many more things that would be good to have than we have time to work on. Current higher priorities include more glyph-based UI components (especially text/document-oriented), converting ibuild to work with glyph-based components, and completing the reference manual.

i have been trying to print out the post-script instructions for Ibuild and my post-script printer just won't print out past page33. i suspect the printer is running out of memory ( it is a 5 meg file after all ), and no matter how many pages i manually edit out of the file i can't get them pages printed. question: this document was created using FrameMaker software. since i have access to FrameMaker at my site, i was wondering if anyone out there could e-mail me the FrameMaker MIF files or the Maker files so that i could load it in and print the pages from FrameMaker??? thanks to anyone who could help in advance... chris barrera cjb@mtus5.cts.mtu.edu barrera@mtu.edu cjb@mtu.edu

Or use "lpr -s" (symbolic link to file; no copying)?

i have tried lpr -s filename everytime. one thing though, it says "file not linked, copying instead". maybe that is the problem...
