If on the other hand the PE gets its makeover then there wouldn't be a reason not to enhance it further... Before anyone says anything I have PAID for ProWesS and the apps before it was open source so I really like it in order to buy it :-) I didn't just buy it for LineDesign but because the underlying principles are the way of the future for the QL I believe :-) >I have nothing against PE/WMan programming.

Come on people, take the time to try it again on your new >QPC/Q40 and realize that is it a fabulous Window Manager. > Well on the Q40 (at least mine) I tried to load it and it's impossible to get it to work. It seems that some bugs were re-introduced on SMSQ/E v.2y99 (I just found out) that makes it impossible to work... or maybe it's just my system... (I really don't know and it's very difficult for me to try all the combinations right now for lack of time). On the QXL and QPC on the other hand it works beautifully and I never had any problems with it. I use it and its apps constantly (Linedesign and PWFile) but I still have problems with its response. I would like to use the PROforma part of it used more however. (which I plan on getting into in depth (better late than never) after I sort out what's wrong with it on the Q40. It installed on SMSQ/E 2.91 but I can't really use it with 4 colours now... can I? :-) ) The combination of WMAN + PROforma seems more sensible due to the main advantage of WMAN being written in assembly... I am sending you a separate file to illustrate what MY preference would be :-) Phoebus
