You are absolutly right, Nick! Time to man up.
Oh! yeah, I've always wanted to mention to John about that MultiViewer
on Tim's CFO1-MTCF multi-tasking colorforth image... When John was
going over how to "print" colorForth text I always wanted to tell
him... Hey, John Ray here That multiviewer should give you some hints
as to how Howerd "printed" all of the characters in his Editor, but
with out all the fancy stuff. That multi-viewer is just the guts to
the print routine that would print any block just as it appears using
any of the colors or sizes of letter available to the system.  I will
do a version for cF2.0a soonest. Not able to just lift if of the one
image and put it on the other with out some... Wait... I should be
able to just transfer it over, keeping in mind that the Appelmen-Neitz
Small fonts will have more characters per block so those blocks could
be reformated to fit on reg-Fonts implementations.

This I was not aware of, and I appreciate the history lesson. Put me
under "less but real". I like to be the 'userFriendly' guy anyway. :-)
Thanks Nick.

"Forgive them, Oh Lord, they know not what they do".  ( They are
unconscious, always.)

Using the original meaning of the word SIN, I fear that I have "missed
the point", gone into my unconscious, spat conditioned responses, and
forgot totally that I get to be a colorCoder. Forgot totally that I
get to be a colorCoder with you. Thank YOU Nick!

No not eunick, You, Nick. Thank you!  You remind me...

"It takes a man with a lot of "cahones"(sp?)  to stand up to himself."
-- unknown as far as I know.

"If I had no ego, I wouldn't be in this predicament." -- come on,
somebody had to have said that before me, right?

"Attention K-mart Shoppers, Wake UP! and smell the blue light special"
-- this is getting embarrassing but I can't help myself.

It goes on and on much like the same so in an effort to not continue...



Raymond St. Marie ii,

Ps: really Nick, Thank you. I play, but your words have always had weight.
