Hey, I'm going to do a quick and dirty scripting player for Smacker. So, to make sure that it has the features you need – what would you like to see in such a product? ->Jeff RAD Software

Hi Jeff, for one, I think there should be a shareware copy, so people can see exactly what this product can do, perhaps put a snag on the program, so you could only use is a certain number of times, and after that you would have to register it. – Mark Schneider Montreal, Canada

We will make the script player available with the player. (So, it will be here on CIS!)

>>scripting features<< Be able to backup and play animations in the script forwards or backwards during the presentation. Be able to lock the keyboard (and unlock it!) for running a presentation unattended. Nik

Jeff, I've got a question about your SMACKER. How does it work in DOS versus Windows versus OS/2 environments? Chuck Jameson Silver Tongue Software

Chuck: Smacker usually works great under Windows. Some older Windows drivers have problems with SuperVGA applications though (so Smacker has some of the same troubles that Animator Pro has under Windows). We are working on a native Windows versio right now. I don't have any machines running OS/2, so I don't know that answer. Thanks for your interest, ->Jeff
