I would love that! Vista does a similar thing, I think--it can
restart problem programs without needing to restart the entire os
(like xp). Subroutines (also called functions, methods...) are
possible in c++ and c++ is, I have heard, the best language for
low-level stuff like a lot of what ks has to do so it makes sense
to write it in that language. I know more java than anything,
but if an sdk were released that only supported c++ I would sure
learn in a hurry!!
Have a great day,
Alex

Hi Alex and all,
Probably my suggestion/idea would be to use a subroutine code to
call the
converter every time a doc (or perhaps rtf) file is opened. (A
subroutine is
a collection of code that performs same tasks again and again;
don't be
confused with loops; onlike loops, subroutines have a "mark" e.g.
a letter
or a type of instruction that is associated with a subroutine.)
I think the best idea is to implement what's called parallelism
(a way of
running more than one thread at a time) like Alex suggested -
that way, each
KeySoft apps such as KeyWord and KeyPlan can execute themselves
within
KeySoft independently from each other and report their results to
central
"handler." I see two benefits: first, if a subprogram (or a
thread) becomes
malfunctioned, it will not lock down the entire KS interface,
thereby
allowing the offending service to restart. Second, By allowing
other
software to monitor the activity of one individual code might
help
developers debug the "bug" easier, since programmers does not
have to "dig"
through entire source code to find the cause - one can actually
look at the
program that originated the problem, look at the source code and
find what's
"missing." That's only my hypothesis and my own suggestions.
(Probably
someone like Alex, Kevin, Jonathan and other people in
programming field can
helop in this regard).
Cheers,
Joseph P.S. BTW, KeySoft is written in C++.

Yes, which is why I suggest the modular system of individual
apps for each
ks app so all talk to a central ks core. Again, I am not sure
if this
would work but it would avoid touching code that already works.
The
biggest thing, though, would be a ce upgrade.
Have a great day,
Alex

Alex,
You are in the programming field, you should know how complicated
codes are. If there is one minor tweaking, there is likely two
things to break from that. Even with things like Unit Test and a
host of Alpha/Beta testers, those things that broke may be
missed.
This becomes even more complicated since we are dealing with CE
4.2, KeySoft, and a host of other variables.

I just talked to tch support and they said they have documents
and examples of this and are working on a patch. They did not
have a time of release, but they are working on a fix for it. I
hate to say it, but after the last few releases I can't help but
wonder what will break on the next "patch". I would not have
said this a few years ago, but now...
Have a great day,
Alex

I am sorry but I do believe that HumanWare is a company that
values what their customers have to say. Again, if there is not
a test
situation setup that allows for duplication, the chances of the
issue being reproduced and fixed is slim. I do understand that
these
issues are ones that don't occur with a high level of regularity,
but once there has been test situations setup for all of these
situations, then there may come a solution. If HumanWare really
didn't value what their customers had to say, there wouldn't be
the
KeySoft 7.5. Build 18 and 20 that fixed the email and
translation issue and Build 27 that fully supports KeySync with
many
enhancements made to KeySync.

Hi:
We've been complaining about this for years. Unfortunately,
HumanWare
does not seem to be listening.

Hi,
I think Humanware should fix their support of word documents in
general, to even include support for word 2007.
I mean, it can be frustrating when you open a document and the
BrailleNote will sometimes say that the data is invalid and you
never know which file this will happen on.
