Beta Versions

[RapidFX]

Hello...
A while back, maybe even a year, there was a directory at ritlabs.com
that held the current beta versions of TheBat!.
Where has this gone to?

My bad. I said that was right. It's not. It should be this:
ftp://www.ritlabs.com/pub/the_bat/beta

It's the right place. Perseverance may be the key (you are using an
FTP client, right?).

With Windows NT (2000, XP) you can run more than one instance of
The Bat! at the same time. It's possible to run applications as
another user (run as..., shift+right mouse button). I created a dummy
windows-user and run The Bat! betas as this user.

So you don't get into trouble with registry settings.

I think I inadvertently sent an unreplied  message with just quotes to
the list. CTRL+Enter both generates and sends the reply. I hit
CTRL+Enter and nothing happened. So I hit it again and the two
eventually executed, leading to the message being sent while it only
flickered on the screen. A beta problem so, forget it except for my
apology. :-)

Anyway, to address Paula's question:

The problem is that TB! stores it's settings in the registry instead
of an ini file that resides in the installation directory. This leads
to two versions not being able to coexist, unless you're willing to
manually load registry keys before starting each install. What I mean
here is:

a) backup your current installations registry key.

b) Install the beta, and backup its registry settings.

c) Double click on the registry backup file for the desired version
prior to starting it up.

d) This means you'll have to create a fresh backup each time you make
any registry changes.

You could make this relatively pain free by using batch files:

Create a batch file for starting and exiting each version. Double
clicking on the batch file will change the registry key and then start
TB! and the second batch will backup the registry key and then exit
TB!.

If you're willing to go through with this, then shout so that we can
help you with the batch files. :-)

If you're interested in betas, you should subsribe to the list. When
there are no betas to test, there is either no traffic at all (like
these past couple of days), or we discuss general philosophy (which
you can ignore if you so wish).

By the way, you can download 1.39 Beta/1 now if you wish.

Right, but why join if you're not going to test?  Why test when you don't
know if there is something there to test?  Catch-22.

Uhm, yes. On the beta list. I guess that they must be thinking that if
you're interested in beta testing, it's natural to join the beta list
