- This is mainly in reply to e-mail from steve@klaatu.demon.co.uk, but I shall
- post here because (a) it has some general relevance, and (b) I can't seem
- to reply to his e-mail address (mainly due to our system).
-
- First, there is a mistake in the Staka (available from Newcastle) help file
- which should tell you to use CTRL-ESCAPE to quit, not SHIFT-ESCAPE.
-
-
- Now to Word Hound. To clarify the situation, when I release version 1.10 of
- Word Hound there will only be a replacement archive file, the main data
- files (shipped as WordHound2 to WordHound5) will remain unchanged. All that
- will happen is that WordHound1 will be replaced with a new version. This
- means that you can go ahead and get the whole package, and only have to get
- one part again if you want to upgrade when version 1.10 comes out.
-
-
- Work on version 1.10 is going well at the moment and so (if all goes well)
- version 1.10 may be out soon. I have already managed to hotlink to
- Impression, although there is a slight problem with it. When you select a
- word in Impression it sends an Impulse message telling the world what this
- word is, but it does not add the space that might also be highlighted after
- the word. Thus I can not assertain whether or not to add a space after a
- selected word has been passed on. So at the moment I assume that I do. But
- I assume there must be a complementary Impulse message that I can send to
- tell Impulse what to change the word selected to, but I know no way of
- finding out what this message might be. Ho Hum!
-
-
- I shall now have to wait about 15minutes while our dying news server
- accepts this posting. (I'm currently about 3 days behind on News at the
- moment due to the problems - it's very annoying :-( ).
