Re: [ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-2

[chaplais via use-livecode]

I have gone through this too . The most difficult was the change of OS. Also, 
Apple had not ported MPW to the PPC, which led to the success of Metrowerks  
CodeWarrior.
I stil have a compiler by them for BeOs on PPC.
This does not really make me feel younger.

Re: Contesting for Idiot du Jour

[chaplais via use-livecode]

There is no simple way, because the infinitesimal area is polar coordinates is 
r dr dtheta where r is the radius and theta is the angle.
More intuitively, the farther you are from the center, the smaller the angle 
that covers a fixed size pixel becomes.
All the best,
François
