Uwe: You're not on StackOverflow, are you? If so, please add your reference to this as an answer to my post. It might lead to more thoughts from the others there that might help. If not, I'll add a reference to that link there myself. I found an active link to the thread you're talking about: ...

More new ideas to come. I promise.

An interesting discussion was pointed out to me on StackOverflow re "Gender or Sex" at the GRAMPs User Forum. It seems to be a lively debate. There is also a link there to a World Health Organization page that compares the terms. At least with Behold, you'll be able to let it say what you want it to say. ...

What you say makes sense, Herb. I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself to get a trial version available. So I really have 3 choices: (1) Release the beta without some features it used to have (which you recommend I don't do), (2) Take the time to get the current bad bug out and then add the missing ...

Herb: The reason why I included both RTF and HTML export was because they were included in the TRichView package that I use. Whereas, PDF is supported only with another 3rd party add-in. See the RichView page on this. So it's much harder to implement than just rewriting like the other two. I'd have to ...

Actually, setting up a server is simple. IIS is built into Windows Vista. Just turn it on. PHP, mySQL and even phpMyAdmin are all easy to set up. It's just always something you don't expect, in this case not expecting 32-bit DLLs to be turned off by default, that trips you up. Also, I recently found out ...

For minor changes, that's not a problem. But for major revisions, I don't want to mess with a working system and live databases while testing or developing. One option would be to duplicate the database and pages in a private place on the site and play with that. But that's really no different than doing ...

You're right Uwe. Behold's feature set is currently good enough for a Version 1.0. What was lacking was it's slowness, which I'm now remedying. The current version expires at the beginning of April, and I'm working hard to ensure that the replacement will be the beta, whether or not I've got all of it ...

The secret, then, is probably to always have a working version that is available. If nothing else, Behold has been available to the world for what is now 4 years. I have been told that it's really not an "alpha" and should always have been called a "beta" because it has been released - even though I've ...
