- BACKGROUND
- Cycle2Faust was mainly written for demonstrating correct parsing of
- cyclegadget messages: gadtools returns the selected item in the code field
- of the message! It's false to interpret every click on a cyclegadget as
- a step forward, it maybe backward if the shiftkey is pressed or with
- Cycle2Menu it maybe a jump over 3 items. False interpreting of the message
- was done by GadToolsbox (it's fixed in V2 and i used it for this project),
- ReOrg V2.3 and Studio. Studio is a commercial product and I had a mail war
- with the author "Wolf Faust" (=> Cycle2Faust <=), he kept claiming
- Cycle2Menu is wrong and he's doing right. "Faust" is also the german word
- for fist. Cycle2Faust: my hands cycled to fists.
