- Which is all well and no doubt nice Ralph, BUT! It breaks probably 90% of
- the software written in .guide format. :-(
-
- Methinks the filtering of such skullduggery needs to be a bit more specific
- than just turning amigaguide into a lister with buttons that don't work!
-
- Anybody who jumped on this one, I hope you have backup copies, or kept the
- script so you can reverse patch them when you find out the buttons often
- don't work as they once did.
-
- Don't take me wrong Ralph, some sort of a firewall does need to be erected
- there in actual fact, particularly now that its been called to someones
- attention. Murphy is alive and well!
-
- Just my $.02 worth
