Wow, wonder what you'd say about the superpatch web page. :)

Are you talking about http://www2.fwi.com/~parkerr/superpatch/ ?
How about adding a least a picture ? :-)

Seriously: I didn't want to be rude. If some one understood my 
comment this way, I apologize. Although my knowledge about the
English language is increasing, I have still problems to express
my opinions.

If I remember correctly, there was a superpatch web patch with a
picture that uses at least three of the new features. This might
have been the disappeared page at the twysted.net patchstation.

It is a bit ironic that Ron P. has a web page tutorial there at:

 http://www2.fwi.com/~parkerr/homepage.html

and yet lacks a link from his default page to the SuperPatch page (yes,
it is rather bleak there, isn't it :)
I'm not complaining one bit though, to me utilities, patches and such
all seem at home on a FTP-looking page.
About the English, when to worry is if you get 90% or better at it. Then
we English-speaking folk can begin impromptu grammar classes on you.
Otherwise I think you're safe because we know the lesser capable are
trying to type right and so read accordingly. Saying all this half in
jest btw, and saying this so I don't get blamed for something.

eww, gross, I still have that online?  Definitely time to redo my
start page, I should think.  The info on that page is probably so 
outdated it's laughable, and the counter hasn't worked since FWI
nuked my webpage months and months ago and wiped out the script 
for it (and subsequently changed their apache config to not allow
.htaccess to do anything meaningful).

Obviously web page design is no longer one of my big priorities.
I should definitely set aside a day or two to whip up a nice page
to put the superpatch on.

Anxiously awaiting that <fingers rapping on desk> but I'm obviously not
the one you would be catering to by doing so.

Suggestion taken. I've added four example scenes (source included) and a
FAQ to the isoblob page.

I'm planing to get either MSVC 6 or Borland C++ Builder 3 as soon as fall
semester starts and I find out which compiler the university has decided on.

Thank you a lot. This is much more than I expected.
