Texcolor and wordOffset
How do you reset the textcolor of an entire field after you have changed the color of a few characters or words? Does wordOffset work OK for you? On my Mac it is not finding whole words, but strings within words. Steve ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Radio
I don't know if anyone is interested but WinRadio (TenTec and Icom also) has an all-band radio-box that can be controlled by a computer. http://www.winradio.com/home/macradio.htm They also have source code on their site for controlling the radio.

Two-computer games
I had a simple idea but it it isn't working. I want to create two stacks that "talk" to each other on different computers. I thought: Stack1 accept connections on port with "hello" Stack2 accept connections on port 9998 "with "hello" Stack1 open socket to IP:9998 Stack1 write "yes" to socket IP:9998 Stack1 close socket IP:9998 Stack2 hello: read from socket 9998 for 1 line Stack2 put it Stack2 open socket to IP: Etc. But I'm getting nothing. What don't I understand?
