subject: Re: Swath 1.6

There are some really good new Java API's in Swath 1.6, and big
improvements to ones which already existed.  Swath 1.6 really is a huge
jump forward in features.

  I will say it's got a number of noticable bugs -- I wouldn't recommend
using it in a tourney game yet.  However, you can install it in a new
subdirectory and run a side game with fair success.  

  I like the WaitForText.exec() with a timeout option, this is great for
kill scripts & world trade/steal scripts.  Also, all existing Java
API's now have full exception handling so you write a script that uses
these API's with much greater overall reliability.

far, its awesome!  I really like the learn macro feature, it makes doing 
buydowns a piece of cake.  I haven't tried Rexx scripts on it yet, but I 
hear they work pretty well.  Anyone who has not tried it yet should, its 
really cool
