Noted, regarding the docs -- good suggestion, thanks. Less is a bit less verbose: it just has a colon in the last wor on the screen. Hopefully that'll fix it for you. > It'd probably be better to include 'mac' as a platform in start.pl > because unless I'm mistaken it doesn't check the values written to > start.ini for preferences like "rendering options" or whatever it's > called (which might have some performance difference despite it not > fixing my display-less problem). The Mac's underlying UNIX-like system, Darwin, is detected by start.pl and that affects how the speech is done for example. Currently it doesn't save any preferences for rendering because when I compiled the Intel release I could only compile the GL one (so assumed that was the only one supported) so there wasn't much point putting the choice in. When I did the same on my PowerBook later on, I found that I could compile both -- so at some point I will need to fix this. The main reason for the menu at all however was that on Windows screen reader users had to turn off visuals (via our hideous patch mentioned before). On the Mac (and Linux) the accessibility is done better in that it cannot bring down the entire system, so the choice isn't that important anyway. I do need to smooth over the rough edges (including the bugs in speech on the Mac) but at the time just had to get something out so that people could try LDL (I need enough responses to the survey by today really). These issues will be addressed soon -- please keep the feedback coming :-). best regards, -- Matthew Tylee Atkinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ AGRIP-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.agrip.org.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/agrip-discuss
