      I think I can guess which game they got this idea from... Simon I need your clothes, your boots, and your copy of VS.NET. Sonork ID 100.10024 My previous small-print gag was foiled by almost everyone. I will strike again soon.

                Cute idea - what are you using it for? I'm glad it's been updated, though:

                - Fixed crash when clicking on empty tree area

                • Fixed crash on windows shutdown

                Or were these just previously undiscovered Windows "features?" "What is it?" and he said, "I don't know. Let's kill it." - Ed Gadziemski

                  Cool Russell! Have you thought about porting it to Windows code (I mean C/C++ or .Net)? One good thing about getting older, you don't lose the ages you've been!

                    Gesture recognition works very well when implemented properly. Anyone who has played the excellent game Black & White will back me up here. It's occasionally frustrating, but the developers of the system did a great job and did away with the need for hundereds of on-screen icons.

                        No no, I think you misunderstand :-O The SATIN toolkit I linked to is just that - a toolkit. It makes it incredibly simple to write Gesture-recognition apps. My app wasn't much - maybe 500 lines of code - the meat of the work was done by the guys who developed SATIN. I couldn't port my app unless SATIN was ported as well. And that just isn't going to happen on my part ;) -- Russell Morris "WOW! Chocolate - half price!" - Homer Simpson, while in the land of chocolate.
