Jerry, A quick warning about Flight Gear and 4.03. Some of the features that worked with Flight Gear in 4.02 don't work in 4.03 becuase Newtek has somehow broken their own Arexx scripts (or the calls those scripts make to Flyer resources). One in particular is the direct loading of graphiocs such as Jpeg images into Toaster framebuffers. This feature worked just fine with 3.94 and 4.02, but not in 4.03. It;s not HArold's fault, since he did nothing to change his software, so if you run across a bug with FG, you might want to see if that process works with Flyer when called directly from Flyer's own Arexx scripts before calling Harold about it. He's aware of a few other things that got screwed up in 4.03, one of which is affecting his release of the TimelLine/Insert Edit features he was working on. Everything else I had a chance to test in FG with the above noted exception worked ok. A couple of minor bugs that affected requesters has already been addressed for the 1.0 release that ships this week from Atomic. Enjoy!! Frank
