Genie & Lamp Feb97 8/20
Hello News!
>>>>>>>>>> CSplit: Version 2.2 >>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> CSplit: Begin part 8/20 >>>>>>>>>>
Now available as file 28274 in the A2 Library, is the final beta test \
version of
Jasmine. Due to various Genie problems, it's looking like we'll never
be \
able
to actually finish Jasmine, but we thought it would be a good idea to \
release
what we had so far, to give folks an idea of what could have been.
I have opened a set of topics in Category 29 (Topics 44 through 50) for
discussion of Jasmine. Although we won't be officially supporting it
due \
to its
pre-release status, many of us will still be wandering through from time
\
to time
and will be happy to answer questions, and many of you will be able to
share your experiences with Jasmine to help each other get the most out
of it.
In any case, keep an eye on Category 29, Topics 44 to 50, for discussion
of Jasmine, and feel free to post there if you have a question or
concern.
Regardless of being a "pre-release" package, Jasmine is still pretty \
impressive
as it stands, so I'm sure you'll want to try it out, if you haven't
already! I'm a little late getting these topics opened... Jasmine was
actually \
uploaded
to the library about a week ago. In that week, it's
already had 81 downloads!

CHARLIE HARTLEY'S HTML HELP FOR APPLEWORKS Just stopped by with an
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" announcement...
I have created a set of AppleWorks' macro task files that display HTML
help screens. These are available at my web site located at:
http://www.iglou.com/qwerty/
You can use page 5000 here on Genie to use Lynx to download the file.
Just follow the links to the Apple II software page. The macros are in
the \
first
file listed. BTW, it is named htmlhelp.bxy . Be sure to read the \
READ.ME.FISRT
text file included in the download.
These macros do use dot commands which require Ultra 4 or better.
Please direct any correspondence about these macros to my internet
address:

COPILOT 2.5.6 FOR ANSITERM RELEASED
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
############ NEWS FLASH #############
CoPilot for ANSITerm version 2.5.6 has been uploaded to the A2 Library.
\
If all
goes well, it should be file # 28292.
This is a maintenance release of the ANSITerm scripts, in a complete \
package.
Those of you who have CoPilot 2.5.5 for ANSITerm and have installed the
\
update
scripts already have part of this package, but there are lots of minor
\
tweaks
and changes in this release, too. Among the more interesting:
+ The archive is _not_ a disk archive, so you can unpack it to any hard
\
drive
partition, floppy disk, or RAM disk that has enough space (642K). It \
unpacks to
a folder named 'ATCOP.Install'.
+ The CoPilot application has been patched to allow you to paste
addresses \
into
the mail address field. You must copy the address to the clipboard
prior to selecting GE mail from the Message menu.
+ The CoPilot documentation has been edited to include information about
the ANSITerm version. Other editing has been done to update this file;
it \
includes
the changes added in version 2.5.6. A companion document called \
'AT.delta.DOC'
is laid out in parallel to the CoPilot documentation, and explains where
the ANSITerm version differs from the documentation that applies to the
other CoPilot versions. This file also contains a complete list of all
the \
tweaks,
bug fixes and changes that have been made since the initial release of
\
CoPilot
for ANSITerm v2.5.5 in the summer of 1995.
+ The main action scripts have been modified so that you can edit a few
\
lines
near the end of the script, and choose what colors are displayed for
the foreground and background. The color settings are listed in a table
at \
the end
of each of these scripts.
+ Some of the menus accessed from the CoPilot Main off-line menu have
been rearranged to agree with the CoPilot documentation (and to be the
same as \
the
other CoPilot implementations).
+ The scripts have 'hooks' for all of the additional ANSITerm scripts
that I have uploaded to the A2 library, _plus_ an additional script hook
that was \
in
the other implementations of CoPilot, but not in the ANSITerm version.
\
See the
AT.delta.DOC documentation for a description of how these script hooks
work.
+ If you have Attached Mail waiting and skip it, you will get a message
each time you log on reminding you that it is there. This message will
\
disappear the
next time you download Attached Mail.
Enjoy!

OLRIGHT! UPDATE
"""""""""""""""
OLRight! News...
I have spent a bit of time today working on OLRight! Today's
activities, combined with things I have done since the first upload,
lead me to \
believe that
the next upload will be for/with WriteAway, probably by next week-end.
First, some reports:
Joachim Nelson has had difficulties in installing OLRight! so that the
\
scripts
would run. He got a message that corresponds to a bad pathname error.
The \
'fix'
was to make a fresh installation of ANSITerm and install OLRight!
again. Joachim had put OLRight! in the same folder as his CoPilot
installation. \
I have
not tested this configuration, so don't know if there is a compatibility
problem.
Skip Helbig reports that the scripts broke on a line that reads:
as bk de * Destructive backspace
I have not gotten confirmation from Skip yet, but I suspect that he is \
running a
version of AT earlier than v2.13b, which is what I have. Since this is
\
not a
critical setting, I am commenting it out where I find it.
Skip also reports a perceived increase in system instability, especially
in using Hermes, since installing Instant Replay. I have offered some
\
thoughts,
but don't know Skip's situation yet.
