The identity of Richard is not really that interesting.
What is interesting is why the Geometry Manager is still inclided in the IDE
when it just isn't up to scratch: it should be either completely rejigged or
dropped.
Richmond.

Richard, can you outline some of the issues you have seen with the
GM (or
point to a thread where it was discussed). On the surface it looks
like a
good way to handle many types of positioning needs. There were a
couple of
oddities in the code that I’ve looked at already.
Not sure who "Richard" is, but I can say from experience that the GM
works fine until it doesn't, and then all hell breaks loose and it's
impossible to get rid of the GM artifacts to the point where your app
works again. You end up recreating the app from scratch again and
wishing you had never touched the GM. So I don't anymore.
You can remove the cRevGeometry propery set from each control if you
don't want to rewrite the stack. But still...
I stopped using it too. It sort of works if it's the last thing you
do, but if you change the layout you have to start over again.
