- I got 4.0 for ABI/Inform last week and installed it on our network.
- So far the things that really bug me are the higher memory requirements
- and the flashing SPACEBAR prompt for help on the initial screen. We have
- a few 286's on our network which now do not have enough free memory to run
- ABI/Inform without getting an warning message about insufficient memory.
- I guess we'll have to find money to upgrade these soon.
-
- Also, I really hate the flashing SPACEBAR prompt on the first screen
- which leads you to help screens. Users who were perfectly comfortable
- in searching ABI are now getting lost in the help screens and are
- annoyed and unable to figure out what's wrong. This really bothers me.
-
- Is there a way to disable the flashing on this? Other menu options which
- appear later in the program also flash and I find this annoying.
- Does this bother anyone else or am I the only one?
