Re: autoreplace



Hi,
Out of curiosity, what was the auto replace function in 3.55 that caused them to be threatened with a lawsuit?
I didn't use III that much. As I've always used IV I thought they
were the same.

Just curious.

Thanks

Russ

I mentioned in some previous message that not upgrading some III+ version because of the absence of auto-replace ('cause of some silly copyright issue) was silly, as there is a well-known workaround. Someone wrote me and asked what it was. You simply prepend the autoreplace function call to every relevant punctuation symbol in the keyboard table. Of course, in 4.018 this is an non- issue.

e.g.
=AR,,
=AR,.
=AR,;
