BL>          you recommended TCXL as a way for me to do a bit of screen
 BL> prettying, so I downloaded it and read your ten-page opinion that TCXL
 BL> is a heap of shit with a designer who ought change his name to Atilla
 BL> the Complete Arsehole. It was quite entertaining, but my questions are:

 BL> 1.  Why did you recommend it to me if it's such a heap of shit and
 BL>     full of bugs?

Because if all you're doing is mucking around trying to make your screen
look pretty, it's all you need.  If you want to write commercial programs,
you may as well jump off a cliff.

 BL> 2.  Where the fucking hell is it? I downloaded update.zip because all
 BL>     the others had a notice saying they were no use, but this one only
 BL>     works as an update from a previous version (which I don't have).

Oh yeah.  UPDATE is useful to me because I have TCXL 5.52 (commercial
version). You need the shareware version.  I've had a look at my
"files on other bbs's list", and there is an interstate site that
still has 5.52, so I'll try there and get back to you.

 BL> 3.  Is this a joke? In which case: ha, ha. ha.

I think it will have the desired effect of letting you achieve reasonably
immediate results.  Or it would if I had my demo program still.  BFN.
