I'm making the table as big as I can and will wind up with a bigger one than
the Mac version, since the need for a text hole won't be there. I plan to have
a separate pull down window for text, so the table and icons can fill the
screen.
Don't know what you mean about 'understanding USTs'. VMCO already has a UST
button (as well as a STA and TUN button).
Watching for people who've left is a bit tricky, since CIS doesn't tell you.
Oh, I see what you mean about understanding USTs. I could do a periodic silent
UST and parse the output, comparing it against the current roster of conferees,
eliminating those who aren't there any longer. Good idea. I'm also going to
implement an LRU algorithm for assigning new seats after the alloted ones are
full. My experience with the Mac version showed that a busy CO can wreak havoc
on your disk drives when all of the overflow goes to seat 20.
Speaking of busy CO's..did you see the bulletin in MAUG? Sculley's got his own
face file now and the Official New Product Announcements are going to be made
on VMCO Thurdsay January 16th.
