Bob, I appreciate your comments. It does say in the documentation, which I
admit is discontiguous (to say the least), that you can in-fact talk to UC from
ARexx. It listens on its ARexx port (ULTRA1) for any UltraTalk command. The
reason we run ARexx scripts the way we do is that we can use ARexx or any other
external scripting facility using this method. This was designed before ARexx
was announced as part of 1.4. In a future release we will be creating a more
tightly coupled link to ARexx but for now it does allow the ARexx script to
talk back to UC with no problem.
As to the documentation I am just done rewriting it and it will be available to
registered owners as a text file for download or as a purchase for cost. We
simply didn't have time to keep the printed doc up to date with such a rapidly
changing program (sorry, if I ever get a chance to do this sort of thing again
I'll not depend upon the stack based doc so heavily).
As regards the Flicker fixer stuff we are working on a solution to that. Stay
tuned.
Mike Lehman
