file format

Rich,
There have been many messages back and forth between Richard Rose and myself
and several other forum members. I do not want to rehash the discussions,
but I would like to comment on your statement, "Other forums neatly
catagorize the type of files available in each data library, so you're more
likely to find what you want by going directly to the right library." I have
certainly attempted to set up the data library categories in a way that would
make sense to use. The categories are primarily based on our products. If
you have an specific suggestions for a different type of organization, I am
willing to consider it. You do have to remember that the data libraries do
represent a flat file system – meaning that you can not nest files within a
subdirectory.
I do agree with you about the file format on the forum, "…there is no
single solution to the problem. I'm sure that any particular solution won't
satisfy everyone."
Again, I stated that I will reupload all the PostScript files as ASCII text
files. That should go a long way towards offering machine independent
support.
As I mentioned earlier, not only is ADOBE (that's me in this case) taking
notice, but I have communicated in several messages that something is being
done. All new text files that have been uploaded in the last few weeks
contain carriage returns and linefeeds so that they can be read online by IBM
PC machines as well as Macs.
Please locate the thread of the message and read further to catch up on what
has been said before making statements that are not correct. I found it
annoying (to say the least) to read a message that implied that ADOBE does
not respond to users suggestion. The reverse is much closer to the truth.
We do value customer input and we do take it into consideration whenever
possible.
