- Someone has just sent me private email regarding the configuration of
- Rend24. It seems that Rend24 relies on an external program to do its
- viewing of single frames as well as animations. I can understand the author
- not adding an animation viewer internally to Rend24 since that is not what
- the program is all about. However, since I know for a fact that Rend24 has
- the ability to display images to screen during conversion, WHY doesn't it
- include a little extra code to allow the user to view images before and after
- conversion. This person who emailed me suggested that I reconfigure Rend24
- to use ViewTek. Hmmmm...
-
- Incidentally, Mr. Laser, I noticed that you didn't mention HamLab+ in your
- `best shareware of 92' article. Is there a particular reason for this
- seeming oversight?
