In this we are brothers in mind. I guess I have made that clear in the
past. Further, I will be among the first jumping onto the AMIGA NG
bandwagon ASAP. I am praying every day that ppl finally may realize
what a bag of crap is being sold to them as "technological revolution"
each time a new "version" of Windoze hits the market. That they
understand that a single tasking OS cannot become true
multi-tasking by re-defining the meaning of multi-tasking the M$ way.
That multi-media is not an invention of MicroSloth but in fact has been
incorporated much smoother in earliest versions of MacOS, AmigaOS,
Atari OS when M$DOS users still were using green-black screens. That
development in computer techs does not mean the diffrence between 700
MHz or 1 GHz. That the architecture of current IBM PCs is based on
technology developed in the late 60s. That it is a miracle of marketing
rather than quality how this OS could acquire the postion to grant its
copyright owners monopoly power in the first place.
Difference is: Gill Bates NEVER really listened to his victims.
He just corrected mistakes the need for whose correction his
idiocy had created in the first place.
To prevent just that from happening with rare pieces of coding such as
TB! we are discussing. I hope.

My words exactly. But this does not obliterate the need to discuss it, IMHO.
Lines such as "Already there" or "It does" don't help much.
In fact, I am very impressed by the idea alone mentioned here ( I
guess it was you), that is not to include a two-version editor but
to make use of a third party product one. This is, AFAI can see, a
fairly uncommon concept on this sad platform which needs to be supported
by all means - ALA there is no choice.

I despise PM just as much. But should this force me to shut up when I
find sth in TB! I dislike or think of sth to be improved? Improvement
is a matter of taste, to a large extent. I happily bend to all the ppl
here stating good reasons why TB! should do XYZ the way it does. I
will not bend to RTFM (or the equivalent).
