Stefan, this was the first good beta cycle in a long time. It felt like we were working toward a common goal, and I think we achieved all of our main objectives. I hope this cooperative and mutually respectful - RL and beta testers - relationship will continue as it can only lead to a better product for all of us. I like the list of targets for the next beta cycle. Please see just a few comments below... > - Improved Windows-compatible editor (proper wrapping, more > functionality from MicroEd plus UNICODE support) I hope you will find a better way to handle actions on strings of words like changing case. > - Adding message base encryption to the Professional Edition Without this, it seems like there is no significant differentiator between the professional and the home edition. As a security measure, I would also like to see some more effective encryption of passwords. I find it disturbing that a small utility like "The Bat! UnPass" can expose all of my current passwords on TB. > - Improved Help system Yes, please. > This is not a promise, this is our working list.

Stefan, if you would publish a better job offer, then you would surely succeed in finding a good writer very quickly. There are many qualified people looking for work these days, but - as I mentioned before - your advertisement was not very attractive. One of the expectations I have for the next beta cycle is a substantially improved help file. Assuming that the next beta cycle runs for at least a month, this is not an unreasonable expectation. -- Avi Yashar Windows XP Pro SP2 and TB Pro 3.0.1.33 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.1.33 RC/10 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
