Look, it's best to get MSPA out of the way now, so that you're not stuck reading it at 4am, knowing that you have to get up in three hours, but you can't go to bed because Andrew Hussie just introduced *another* new, interesting character!

My plan is that *eventually* the centerbox cruft will be replaced by slices that use the appropriate anchors and alignment if they need to be centered. In the short range, I will probably convert centerbox and centerfuz calls into center_edgeboxstyle calls (after giving it a much shorter and craptacular name) > I take back anything I ever said about not providing overloads for > allmodex graphics functions to draw onto a frame. My plan was to implement those on the weekend. Instead I spent almost the whole two days reading mspaintadventures.com ... dang you Mike! --- James _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org -- Mike Caron _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
