Hi Francis - was looking at this today - decided not to download it as it is still in alpha testing. Will wait for the beta - did you download and have a look? It looks VERY interesting and may be related to the Alice Project? It uses an old friend - Squeak :-) I also know (I came across it only once) that people are using very interesting interfaces for Squeak (rather than the default) I had high hopes for the Seal Project (a visual add on for FreeDos) but they seem to want to start again from scratch . . . ah well . . . I have been (it really is a mess at the moment) working towards http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Computer_Know_How I have also been trying to download WorldWind from Nasa (without success - I just dislike .NET and did not let it phone home . . . so my fault I guess) It may interest Joyce as it seems to be a satellite scanning facility looks like fun . . . Did I mention 20/20? - should be a link on our freeware page http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Freeware this is a structured drawing package - very nice very simple (and I have not seen any ads (think I had it before and the ads drove me mad . . .) What else you up to Francis? Who else has been trying new things? :-) Lobster ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Make a clean sweep of pop-up ads. Yahoo!
