Dear Registered User,
I'd like to thank you for your support. I would also like to apologize for not
producing this and other releases sooner. I am still commited to continue
the development of Texx. I hope that you will continue supporting shareware
authors.
I am not mailing this release of Texx to registered users. There are a couple
of reasons for this. First, Texx version 0.3 is still a fully functional product.
I have not disabled any features for the non-registered user. You can pick this
product off the BBS's and have a fully functional program. Second, Texx version
0.3 will be the last fully functional version, barring bug fixes. I will be
implementing several new features that I will only be releasing to registered
users. The free ride is over with this release. When the next release is available,
I will mail a copy to registered users.
I have made significant changes to Texx version 0.3. However, the changes
are only noticeable in the new features. To the user, Texx still works the same
with some bug fixes and a handful of enhancements. These significant changes
contributed to the long time between releases. Another contributing factor is
the lack of resources at my disposal. I am getting up to speed on the resources
that I need, so hopefully, the development of Texx won't get bogged down again.
Thank you for your patience.
Here is a list of enhancements that I will be working on. The first couple of items
are listed in order of priority. The priority on other items will depend on the
feedback I get. I don't know at this point where I will cut the next release at,
however, I will try to make it worthwhile for registered users. The list is as
follows:
1. Implement the Object Model.
2. Implement more of the REXX language, high on the list is PARSE and
external functions.
3. Implement some form of I/O.
4. Implement XCMD's and XFCN's. I'll also be looking at AppleScript and
hopefully implement support for AppleScript externals. As soon as
I can afford a copy of Frontier, I'll also look at supporting Frontier
externals.
5. Implement the full suite of REXX built-in functions.
6. Implement Mac environment specific functions.
7. Implement networking support.
The Object Model implementation will be the highest priority. Adding more
of the REXX language will remain a high priority. If you have some suggestions,
please feel free to let me know. You can contact me on the following E-Mail
addresses in order of preference:
1. Compuserve - 71407,441
2. Internet - 71407.441@Compuserve.Com
