>6. Programs MUST fit in to the standard Event construction.

What exactly do you mean by this ?

Gosh, talk about opening up a can of worms. I think with 6 responses, we got
6 different interpretations. All I had meant by the statement was that code
should fit in with the standard FB event handling procedures and thus with
the Mac way of doing things, and not be a program which ignored the event
handling structure. You've got to have some standard basis for common code.

Although I think PG Pro is a wonderful tool, and I use it very occasionally,
I wouldn't want to work with something that was PG Pro exclusive. This is
only my preference, as virtually all my programming is done in FB - PG
makes some constraints that I can't follow. Thus a "plug-in" library for PG
Pro would not be an awful lot of use to me or anyone else who doesn't use
PG.

I don't think this idea is going to fly unless we agree on a common basis,
which I think is extremely unlikely. I thus withdraw gracefully from the
discussion.

Phil.
