- > Runback
-
- Is there a difference between Runback and Run <nil: >nil: ?
-
- I tend to use an alias for that, and never noticed any problems....
-
- > Expanded IFF support (for improved compression-ala PNG/Encap JPEG)
-
- NO! The world doesn't need another image format! If PNG and JPEG are good,
- adopt one/both of them (via datatypes or a similar method).

- They were rather silly. I suspect someone at C= was told to make sure it
- would be totally future proof, and went out of his way to prove a point
- ;-) But now they're there I don't see any particular reason to get rid of
- them.. But we could all save a few clock cycles if we could safely assume
- the lower word will never be used, and to limit it to 16-bit colour per
- channel.

- > *Mouseclick brings window to front and makes it active
- Absolutely no way! At least not as standard, like (urgh..) Windows.
- There's a commodity supplied with WB that lets you do this anyway. (I
- prefer setting it for double-click window to front, but many people
- prefer a click-plus-keyboard specifier for this).
