Re: Enhance2

I just DLed ENHANCE2 for the first time. Is there a mistake in the latest
5/21/96 ZIP file? I ran a couple of routines, and they were identical to
XyQuest's proprietary stuff. Browsing further, DLG appears to consist
(>100%) of XyQuest material. Ergo, I wonder whether this _is_ XyQuest's
file?? It bears the MenuRevDate "November 14, 1995". Are your
enhancements contained exclusively in the .SET file? Why distribute a DLG
file as part of your package if it doesn't have your stuff in it? Or, if
your routines are indeed tucked away here, why not simply MErge them en
masse (as a block) at the top of DLG & MNU (where they would take
precedence and override any existing frames of the same name), instead of
freighting your package with 800Kbytes of redundant overhead? We ought to
be able to clearly identify & evaluate your work, and to pick & choose
among your routines, without being compelled simultaneously to adopt a
great dea
l that has nothing to do with you! Especially for 15 smackers!
My DLG is heavily customized, and it is sobering to be forced back to XyQuest's
pedestrian stuff without even being able to _find_ your stuff!

Separate question: Which frames are you particularly proud of, and which
are the technical dazzlers?
