It's a bad habit I've got. Sounds like a pretty good habit to me! I had the same initial reason for doing TurnStyler, though I originally wanted to create a tool that would let me create threaded-in designs. I added double-faced later, and it's pretty obvious that it was an add-on. Anyway, after the first version was done, I was unhappy with my job, and had a fantasy of quitting the day job and selling the program. I mistook the fantasy for a possibility. <G> I sold a number of copies, but the total amounted to about a week's worth of salary. End of fantasy. But I'm still glad I did it, and I still use the program myself. And I'm delighted to see yours out there, since you took an approach that was so different from mine. Having a choice is always good! I was also interested to see that you are using XML files for your designs. One of the things I had considered doing with my program was switching to XML for the data files (as well as converting it to java to make it easier to extend and maintain.) --Deanna Send private reply to Deanna Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop receiving tabletweaving (not tabletweaving-digest), send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: unsubscribe tabletweaving.
