Bob:

I'd love to beta test it!

Im anxious to see the enhancements!

[Bob Hartzell]

I'll send you an .exe Monday or early Tues. Brad has been playing with it for more than a week and Johnie has made gui comments.

[johnie]

Its a nice upgrade.

I played with it for a day and a half. It is pretty nice.


The score is useful- I can see many aplications for it.

Bob..I don't have the color difference in the onion skinning..do i have that version or is it a preference somewhere?

I would like to say that everything is looking great...GUI improvements, the bones are working much better, and I agree the score is very nice.

I would like to say that Bob is great, he has implemented many of the features that have been suggested and is very open to new suggestions, if you have a feature wish, rest assured it may take some time to implement but Bob and etc. will do there best to create it.

[Bob Hartzell]

You don't have that version yet. I will send you a new .exe in a day or two.
