- Yecch. We've (Enable Software) been evaluating automated testing
- systems for windows. We sent one back - Sqarobot - that was not up to
- our testing standards. Now we're waiting for a tool from Microsoft, the
- name of which escapes me.

- Dunno, as this (Windows) is pretty new to us. For the past 10 years,
- we've been using our own testing system.

- Not a bad idea at all. I'm gonna ask and see how hard it would be to
- program. I've already requested an addition to our product code (for
- development) that would pop up the hypertext tag passed to the system
- when help is requested in a given place. As it is, keeping track of
- this is going to be a nightmare. (And I thought it was tough in the DOS
- product, when we had to read code to extract the HTX calls.)
