When is a conductor not a conductor? When it's an insulator. Not the same thing.

Hi Dan,

Re: "humanly acceptable range 1/1000 to 1000" - nice one and good way to put it.

As far as I am aware, it's the only function that changed that makes old code stop working the way it did since Clearwin+ was introduced, and frankly even then it was long overdue. The other changes i ...

Dan,

I don't always understand your point precisely, because of the way you (don't) use the definite and indefinite articles, or possessive pronouns etc. Do you mean your design, or SF's design of ...

Although Paul has said in the past that ClearWin+ is simply a wrapper for Windows functionality, it is, sometimes very clearly, rather more than just that. The consequences are that if you wish to use ...

Bill,

My suggestion is don't have complicated WINIO@ calls. It makes life so much simpler if they are short, even if it makes subprograms longer.

A good subset of rules is:

Paul,

It's a word choice. I see on the front page that FTN95 is:

Yes, Alex. I have a tablet that runs Windows 10 - it's a 9 inch Windows tablet. It's rather useless, as in Windows conventional mode, the icons and menus are too small to activate, and although a keyb ...

Hi Paul,

I didn't expect that there was, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks.

As I replied to Bill's helpful comments, I do know what I have to do, but I can't reliably do it for next week, and the f ...

Alex,

Why bother? Well, certainly why bother to learn .NET stuff, because at my age, and given the small proportion f my daily life I could devote to it, I'd expect to be dead before I mastered it. ...

John,

Of course SF could tell you the poll answers in advance, if they wanted.

My guess is that FTN95 works brilliantly for most users, adequately for a few, and has issues for only a tiny minor ...

One "feature" of the %ls is you can tell it that you have 26 entries, but only have as non-blank the entries you wish to have displayed (6 in your example). The underlying code can set the l ...
