Many thanks to you Alan, Pierre, and to each of you who volunteered to test
my program. I have high aspirations for this program: I'm hoping that it
will enable internet users to create their own custom internet search
engines. More to come....
Alan's advice is, as usual, very wise. Beta testing isn't for beginners.
However, there's rarely anything to fear from a beta product, as long as you
know how to get rid of it if it does something unorthodox.
I also would recommend the InControl program. I have been using it for some
time now. It is very useful for knowing where programs are treading in your
system.
Before I stop wasting any more bandwidth on this topic, I'd just like to
mention that InControl will be of little use with my program. It makes no
registry changes, and save for the start menu icons, all of its operations
will take place within only one folder on your hard drive. The program is
written in compiled Perl, which is a common and very well-tested medium for
programming internet applications.
The bookmark part of the program is really just the beginning. I intend to
add a bona-fide web spider that we at Seek-and-Find can use to really beef up
our web searches. Stay tuned. :-)
