You reviewed the ADB keyboard in the winter 92 NeXTWorld. So when did you first notice that SBook was feeding from the forbidden fruit? But in any case, thanks for the update on SBook. You'll be happy to know it's on my list of packages to look at buying. Now I know to hold out for a demo of 2.05. What's the policy on fixing copies that are already in the field ie if someone is using SBook and they get ADB and SBook stops working? Is there a number they should call? How much will it cost? Can they get it via FTP or NeXTMail? And if I buy a copy of SBook from NeXTConnection tonight will it be 2.05? And a note to other developers. If Simson can _almost_ admit he fed at the forbidden keycodes then you too can find salvation by coming forward and confessing your "sin". If you won't do it for yourselves, then please consider doing it for your users. And I again put forth my offer that any non-ADB equipped brother seeking to see if his program is a sinner may contact me via e-mail for details on "Brother Scotty's ADB Equipped Temple of Salvation." And remember brothers, non-ADB compliance doesn't just happen to "Emulators", it can happen to straight NeXTSTEP applications as well. Many thanks to Brother Simson for this valuable object lession. Scotty
