<continuation> 6- the question is, how many wires _are_ needed? What if a wire enters loom1, continues to loom2, exits, new wire enters loom3, continues to loom4, while other wires go loom1-2-3-4… See the problem? 7-screen redrawing has been addressed several ways. It's faster – quite a bit. Some redraws have been eliminated. I have no idea what mcad is… but infinite zoom is out. Amiga number keys, ok, will do, likewise kbd commands. If you have a preference, then send same to me… it'll be used as a non-exclusive guide, since no one else has really mentioned it. 11 – maybe. bears thinking about, anyway. 12 – no chance, just not enuf dots in low res. Bug cbm – the new chips will give you a flicker free screen in Scheme. IT's a 640x400x2 screen. 13 – also no chance. Scheme will write to the disk when YOU tell it to, no other time; The potential for system instability because of another task doing things is too high. Someday, when they make the system more reliable, I might relent on that one, but not now. Glad you liked the program, in general. There is a lot of work going on to it's insides – as yet, no one has been able to define a situation that will bring up that bug; that's what we're waiting on for the next official release. –Ben–
