Dear Friends:


I have been working on converting Mike Sweet's CGFX library from C to BASIC09.
I almost have the dialog boxes routine converted. I have figured out how to do
radio buttons, and am now working on clickable buttons,etc. Still some bugs
though. I will be uploading what I have developed in about 2 to 3 weeks.

I would like to offer a suggestion. Often people develop little sub -routines
such as these while working on larger programs. For various reasons, they
choose not to make the source code of the entire finished program available.
While I have no problem with this, since most ask for a small donation and then
will offer the code to registered users, I would like all to consider being
willing to share these subroutines, or "snippetts" of code. Perhaps a sort of
Programmers Den or Tool Box Area.

I think that with the RS version of the COCO discontinued, and this time of
transition to the new machines, we need every one to support our little COCO's.
and share code, etc. I originally bought mine to interface with a Model
Railroad, as per a series by Bruce Chubb in Model RailRoader magazine (Feb
'84-Aug '86), later reprinted as Build your Own Universal Computer Interface,
by Tab Books.

Next one of my altar boys gave me a copy of Rainbow. Before long, diskdrives,
monitors, printers, etc entered my life. I bought a word processor program. And
after trying several settled on MAX-10. I recented noticed that Rainbow had a
COCOPRO add for a new OS9 WP. Has anyone tried it. It is called Newspaper-09.I
will be ordering one soon. I can already think of several enhancements that I
would like to see in it. (See MVWORD)

With all best wishes, Jeremy, CSJW.
