Don, I remember when the mechanics, back in the 70s, that said electronic control for engines would cause a lot of problems in the automotive industry. Yes, there were problems in the beginning, but, after some time, things got a lot better.
The big difference with WE's offering and FS's, is that the scripting interface is simply that. Its a means to an end. Also, it is much more in line with what the industry is expecting. One can use any programming language that can take advantage of the interface. GW didn't write a lot of those scripts. They were generous offerings from those who are programmers. I work on hardware and UNIX computers. When it comes to Windows APIs, I leave it up to the people in the know. Be patient and politely nudge and I bet things will get better. A little sugar goes a long way. The volunteers who spent their time and energy attempting to write these scripts are wonderful in my estimation and deserve a pat on the back. Negativity turns volunteers off quickly. Believe it or not, there are a lot of people who truly care about yours and others issues and will help as soon as possible. In the mean time, please be patient. That is all I have to say about that.. Regards..

However I also believe that is and has the potential to add instability to WE. If you think about it maybe scripting is what has always made JAWS more unstable in the past than WE. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Grimwood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 29, 2008 1:57 PM Subject: Add remove script problem > Chris, >> >> I am merely suggesting that, once a person has made a point, >> continuing to make it repeatedly might serve to create traffic >> without being productive. >> >> Regards, >> Robert >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Chris Belle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> To: "gw-info-gwmicro.com" <[email protected]> >> Sent: Monday, September 29, 2008 7:51 PM >> Subject: Re: Add remove script problem >> >> >>> Pardon me, but I think people have a right to be concerned >>> is scripts don't work. >>> >>> After all, that was the big push in the last development cycle, >>> scripting pushed most other concerns to the back burner. >>> >>> So now if most of the company scripts are having problems, and >>> people are concerned, well, they paid good money to be. >>> >>> Removeing the script will certianly fix the problem, but that's like >>> removing your eye if you get something in it 'grin'. >>> >>> We're seeing a prime example of a little company who bit off more >>> than they could chew and didn't give them selves enough time to chew it. >>> >>> I've more or less come to grips with we, using it for the things it >>> works well for. >>> >>> Web surfing, as long as you don't mind loosing your place a lot, but >>> I'm used to we. >>> >>> it's good for exploring stuff, and mousing around. >>> >>> The scripts mostly work when they're not generating errors. >>> >>> I don't feel warm and fuzzy unless I have 5 or 6 errors a day but if >>> the boys and girls are doing their job, this is helping them. >>> >>> I take great delight in making smart-ass comments when I send in bug >>> reports. >>> >>> But when we makes me mad, I have other alternatives. >>> >>> Some folks here don't and I'd be mad too if my main means of access >>> wasn't doing what I needed. >>> >>> So trying to keep a balance between productively trying to squash >>> bugs, and airing grievances, and being decent about it, and giving >>> the guys a chance, all in all, I gotta to say, when someone's paid >>> out good money, they expect results. >>> >>> I don't think they know entirely what they're doing yet, because >>> scripting is so new for we, so we're having some growing pains. >>> >>> But it is frustrating as hell when your trying to get work done. >>> >>> God I do wish we didn't get rushed out the door so fast, you know a >>> lot of people are afraid to speak up, but I've gotten some >>> interesting private emails about this and that. >>> >>> I get in trouble for running my mouth, but better to die on your >>> feet and live on your knees. >>> >>> So I tell all my students, and fellow we users, call them up, write >>> them, let them know what you need and what ain't workin that's the >>> only way things will ever change. >>> >>> If a blind man never stood up and fought for what they needed, we'd >>> still be out in the street selling pencils and begging for aums. >>> >>> Some of us still aren't that much further along. >>> >>> But as long as we are paying gwmicro salaries, we have a right to >>> ask, and to question, and yes, indeed to respectfully complain when >>> it is called for. >>> >>> Thank you, and soap box session over. >>> >>> >>> At 12:09 PM 9/29/2008, you wrote: >>>>Why don't you just remove the script instead of engaging in endless >>>>debate? >>>> >>>>Regards, >>>>Robert >>>> >>>>----- Original Message ----- From: "wayne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>>>To: "Sam bushman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>>>Cc: <[email protected]> >>>>Sent: Monday, September 29, 2008 5:26 PM >>>>Subject: Re: Add remove script problem >>>> >>>> >>>>>his add remove is junk. >>>>>----- Original Message ----- From: "Sam bushman" >>>>><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>>>>To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>>>>Cc: <[email protected]> >>>>>Sent: Monday, September 29, 2008 10:01 AM >>>>>Subject: Re: Add remove script problem >>>>> >>>>> >>>>>> You say: >>>>>>The Add/Remove script was really just a proof of concept, so there >>>>>>may >>>>>> >>>>>>Was this mentioned any where before people started using it? >>>>>>What other scripts are not for real? >>>>>>Thanks >>>>>>Sam >>>>>> >>>>>>----- Original Message ----- From: "Aaron Smith" >>>>>><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>>>>>To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>>>>>Sent: Monday, September 29, 2008 8:57 AM >>>>>>Subject: Re: Add remove script problem >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>>>The Add/Remove script was really just a proof of concept, so >>>>>>>there may be issues.
