Hope you have a great vacation MCA...

At the moment our vacation hasn't been started. Before going we will
update our site to KiXtart 4.00 RC1 release and we will get
the links between both site will work correct.
Our last task is: updating the site pages. New versions of all
scripts and programs has been created and will be published
at July 10th.

Also we are working on an answer to your mail.
Thanks anyway.
Greetings.

btw: you doesn't find must answer last days because we were
flying back home.

This is our latest issue for the coming period. Mail requests, site modifica-
tions and short answers to any http://kixtart.org topic will be restar-
ted after several months.
For everybody who must work good luck and for all the others who
have also a vacation: nice days.
Greetings.

btw:
for new members.
By questions about our site http://home.wanadoo.nl/scripting
please read first the topic on the http://kixtart.org site.

The symbol on our homepage has
been linked to related http://kixtart.org topics.

We just return from our vacation.

First we will show our sympathy with all the persons who had a confrontation
of any kind with the catastrophe in New York and Washington.

The most important reactions by mail had be handle. We had already updated
a missing link in our homepage and add a lot of new kixtart related sites
to our page Links to Favorite Sites. Some sites were very interesting.

Currently we will handle first our mail and read the topics of the last period.
Also we had prepare a draft version of our kixstrip tool. We saw that
printing all topics about kixstrip will cost you about 250 pages.
Shawn's request about parameter-check of kixtart function was already something
on the to-do list. We have extend the to-do list with all kind of other things:

• handle split statements over two or more lines in a correct way.
  
• color indicator by option "/Progress".
  
• overcome possible problems with RedirectOutput by option "/Debug".
  as user it will not be necessary to modify all lines with a RedirectOutputfunction call.
  
• a possibility to handle internal macros and variables in a string.
  
• translate variable names to mnemonic codes for more security
  f.e. $program_version will be $x329.
  (it can be possible that this topic will be included in the other
  tool kixref).
  
• an include facility of other kixtart code.
  ";(include your_script.kix)"
  will be
  ";(include your_script.kix)"
  ";(begin)
  " ;compressed kixtart code from file 'your_script.kix'"
  ";(end)
  
• translate also kixtart functions to an identical format.
  
• all kind of minor changes
  

For all the possible questions about: how was your vacation?
Some info:

• a lot of sun and beautiful pictures. Pictures which can have the french name
  'carte postale'.
  
• we had meet a lot of new and old friends.
  
• great bike ride in the mountains of French Pyrenean. Some interesting trips are
  'col du Tourmalet'and 'Pic du Canigou'.
  After completion it was only about 3000 miles with 90 mountain passes.
  
• also we had read some interesting books.
  

Soon our reactions to topics will be given.
Greetings and thanks.

BTW: after checking our mail we detect that all mail after 11 september 2001 was gone.
too much mail was created by a virus on that day.
please remail your mail or request after that day.
please remail your mail/request
