Jerry,
Scott Clemenson in the PracticeImprovement1 list just
mentioned Tkfp and put a link on his site to the Tkfp
Flash demo on my server. I was going to reply to him
on that list and I'll mention that you are about to
release a new Puppy with Tkfp. Then maybe you could
get on there and tell them more about it. Scott said
he was tempted to try Tkfp, but went with Amazing
Charts for $500 because they were just about to raise
their prices. But he was pretty complimentary about
Linux, Tkfp, etc. He made some very nice .wmv videos
of stuff he is doing on his computer with a non-open
source program he found called "Camtasia". There is
another one he used that is free called CamStudio that
he liked but it wan't quite as good as Camtasia. The
videos he made are worth looking at if you haven't
seen them.

That's cool. I'm really not in a hurry, I was just
checking to make
for sure I had the latest
Tk_familypractice_scripts.tar.gz file before
trying to make a new grafpup squashfile. Hopefully
you didn't suffer
any power spikes from the tanked power supply. I've
only ever trashed
one motherboard-hard drive combo and that's how it
happened (from a
trashed power supply).
I discovered that Grafpup didn't have a spreadsheet
program installed.
Apparently Nathan was using OpenOffice for all that
stuff from a
squash file. So I easily installed gnumeric, which
is a great
spreadsheet program -- reads and writes Excel, etc.
I'll keep testing,
but CUPS and everything is working fine for me with
Tkfp. As I
mentioned, the only thing that doesn't work is the
Grafpup resize
personal storage file script, but I will detail how
to get around it
until Nathan fixes it.
I worked on writing a new release note. If you have
time, maybe you
could comment briefly on any new stuff you have
added to Tkfp (that
would be good to include in a release note).

| | Jerry,
My power supply went out this morning on my main
|
Linux box that connects me
| | to the internet. If I can't get it fixed today,
|
I'll upload the new
| | Tk_familypractice_scripts.tar.gz file from home
|
tonight
