At long last, I am getting some feedback. Thanks, guys!
And Lee woo seob, your english is just fine, more than adequate!
I noticed the use of the 'esc' key in your EUTILE version of my
font.e. Colin Taylor does the same thing (esc returns an empty string)
in the reduced variant in his SPRED package. Colin also adds the width
parameter, which I did not have the courage to include in my last
release of the font package earlier this year...
The burp was a stupid idea, and it will be eliminated, or at least
made optional (with the default 'off', of course!).
Colin made several important improvements in his sprite editor (btw,
very nice package, Colin, in comparison I almost feel ashamed: my old
font editor now really needs a face lift!), things like italics,
boldface, new line detection, etc. He also thinks I should change the
font file format, mainly because of speed considerations. I am not
convinced that the speed is the right reason, but I am playing with
different formats, because I would like to accommodate, eventually,
fancy, multicolored fonts ('Soft Machine' type, pascal enthusiasts
will know what I mean).
Colin also dislikes my frequent use of global variables - he obviously
thinks they are an equivalent of a 'goto' on the scale of mortal sins.
What do you think? Personally, I believe, a well placed label and a
'goto' can saved you a lot of headaches, and it can actually make your
code more readable than convoluted attempts to avoid it! Jiri
