Hi Jonas, As you mentioned the issue of NDA with regard to posting messages in Sect 14, I wonder if you could expand on this a little. How does non disclosure work with regard to this section of the forum? I have a project that I would like to develop and I wonder to what extent I can be open with regard to my intentions. My interest is using IPAS 3 is as an interface for DOS functions and I think I understand that I will need to build my own menu. Considering that I'm starting at square one maybe you could direct me or give me some insight into the best approach. If these questions should be directed elsewhere please advise. Thanks so much, glad to be here. -JE

John, << As you mentioned the issue of NDA with regard to posting messages in Sect 14, I wonder if you could expand on this a little. How does non disclosure work with regard to this section of the forum? I have a project that I would like to develop and I wonder to what extent I can be open with regard to my intentions. >> The threads that I want to share with the world (section #14) will deal with "IPAS3 – the tool". If you discuss details of a project on #17, I will edit out those references. To make it very easy, I would recommend that you e-mail me project specifics and limit discussion on the net to programming IPAS3 details. Can you(all of you) live with this? jonas

Jonas, >> To make it very easy, I would recommend that you e-mail me project specifics and limit discussion on the net to programming IPAS3 details. << This seems like it will put a lot of burden on you, but I can certainly live with it. On the other hand I would be happy to sign a general NDA agreement if ADESK thought that this was feasible so that we could all exchange freely. We all have an NDA with Autodesk, but it does not include exchange between developers. Whatever the consensus is I'll be committed to abide by. Thanks, -JE

John, << I think I understand that I will need to build my own menu. >> The best place to start would be with \examples\pxp\dlgtst and \examples\pcp\iscan. Yost/Rolf/Gus/Doug/Don/others… use the 3de.exe to help them build dialogs. See Don's comments in the IPAS3Q downloads for insights to their frustrations in using 3de. Don is trying to get a dialog up with 30 entries through 3de. Maybe he'll share his experience with us? I had one individual call me and state that he was able to get 35 nested dialogs to work before it crashed for him. (a wee bit deep…) Good luck. jonas[adesk]

Jonas, First thing I did was download IPAS3Q per your suggestion. Thanks, it makes for some intresting reading. (Only because I'm really interested in seeing what I can do with IPAS 3. <g> ) -JE

Uhm, have you forgotten my bug report that I can't even get 3DE.EXE to run on my system? It generates a QEMM error. Can I do anything on this end to help discover the problem?

John, << 3de and QEMM.. >> I wish I knew where to start… What version of QEMM are you running? jonas[adesk]

New as of December or January, meaning 7.01?

John, << section #17 >> I expect ~300 participants[lurkers] in this section by year end. jonas[adesk]

Jonas, >> I expect ~300 participants[lurkers} in this section by years end. << Which takes me back to the NDA and the burden it will put on you! Sheesh! I guess we'll just see how it goes, if I can help please just let me know. I suspect like others I will have a lot of questions. Thanks, -JE
