Hey. Did anyone say "permission"?
Don't bother asking me "permission" for that. All the PowerPro scripts I
have distributed are in the public domain.
I also have no interest in improving that script. It's been perfectly good
enough for my needs. At any rate, I see that someone came up with a couple
of interesting improvements, so no one needs me for that. The script is
simple, just hack it to your heart's content and share it whenever
possible.
Actually, I do have plans for improving it. I already started a new version
two or three months ago, but then I ran into a bug, then I went to sleep,
then I got very busy, then I never had a chance to resume it.
The new version is going to have auto completion, path completion, history
in a drop-down box with accelerator keys, alphabetical, chronological and
last-used sorting, and lots more(*).
(*) and lots more = another way of saying "pretty much it".
But this one is going to be written in Tcl. I think the alias concept is so
nice that more people should be given a chance to use it, even those that
do not use PowerPro. PowerPro is too complex and puts off a lot of people,
I'm afraid. Tcl scripts can be turned into single executables and used by
anyone. It's also cross-platform and orders of magnitude easier than
PowerPro scripting. Sure it's difficult if you don't know it, but if you
know both, Tcl is a lot easier.
Sorry to disappoint you.
I suggest that you implement your ideas in the script and simply post it as
new version. Say, if my last version was 3, release it as Aliases 4. Just
include a readme file saying who wrote that version and let it spread.
Happy coding.
