ProVUE Conference CDs
Subject: Take Panorama to the Next Level!
From: James Rea (Jim_Rea@provue.com)
Tuesday, May 30, 2000
Dear Panorama User,
As you may be aware, we have been working on post-production for the ProVUE
99 Conference CD's for almost 8 months. The delay was caused by a
combination of personnel changes and technical glitches - and by the fact
that top priority has always been the Panorama 3.5 project. (In fact, I did
not work on the conference CD project at all, so Panorama 3.5 wasn't
delayed by a single minute.) However, I'm happy to announce that the work
is now complete, and the ProVUE 99 CD set is finally available. Like last
year's ProVUE 98 set, this set includes 12 CD's with over 24 hours of
QuickTime movies. This year both the video and audio were recorded entirely
digitally for even better quality.
Since it has been a while since the conference, I've summarized some of the
major highlights of this event below. You can also find out more about the
CD-set online at

The product homepage is at http://www.blueline-studios.com/tcMain.html

than ten thousand tabs; 10, 12, 17, 31, etc. tabs in a row. Before you
despair, let TextBroom replace the superfluous tabulators with just a
single one, or with the character you specify.
Other features include the smart finding&replacing of funny number
separators, e.g. the apostrophe within "10'000", while the string "you're",
