- Dear Registered User,
-
- I'd like to thank you for your support. I would also like to apologize for not
- producing this and other releases sooner. I am still commited to continue
- the development of Texx. I hope that you will continue supporting shareware
- authors.
-
- I am not mailing this release of Texx to registered users. There are a couple
- of reasons for this. First, Texx version 0.3 is still a fully functional product.
- I have not disabled any features for the non-registered user. You can pick this
- product off the BBS's and have a fully functional program. Second, Texx version
- 0.3 will be the last fully functional version, barring bug fixes. I will be
- implementing several new features that I will only be releasing to registered
- users. The free ride is over with this release. When the next release is available,
- I will mail a copy to registered users.
-
- I have made significant changes to Texx version 0.3. However, the changes
- are only noticeable in the new features. To the user, Texx still works the same
- with some bug fixes and a handful of enhancements. These significant changes
- contributed to the long time between releases. Another contributing factor is
- the lack of resources at my disposal. I am getting up to speed on the resources
- that I need, so hopefully, the development of Texx won't get bogged down again.
- Thank you for your patience.
-
- Here is a list of enhancements that I will be working on. The first couple of items
- are listed in order of priority. The priority on other items will depend on the
- feedback I get. I don't know at this point where I will cut the next release at,
- however, I will try to make it worthwhile for registered users. The list is as
- follows:
-
- 1. Implement the Object Model.
-
- 2. Implement more of the REXX language, high on the list is PARSE and
- external functions.
-
- 3. Implement some form of I/O.
-
- 4. Implement XCMD's and XFCN's. I'll also be looking at AppleScript and
- hopefully implement support for AppleScript externals. As soon as
- I can afford a copy of Frontier, I'll also look at supporting Frontier
- externals.
-
- 5. Implement the full suite of REXX built-in functions.
-
- 6. Implement Mac environment specific functions.
-
- 7. Implement networking support.
-
- The Object Model implementation will be the highest priority. Adding more
- of the REXX language will remain a high priority. If you have some suggestions,
- please feel free to let me know. You can contact me on the following E-Mail
- addresses in order of preference:
