Hello.
Reading the various contributions from users of Smile for OS9 I am realizing that we may have not been clear enough on the issues between Smile for OS9 and Smile for OSX.
Smile for OSX is essentially the same as Smile for OS9. For instance, the Class Scripts system is exactly the same.
The main differences you have to be aware are:
1. the buttons in text windows no longer exist. Furthermore, until I'm asked to make it, there is no tool to read in OSX nor import into OSX the scripts of the buttons of text windows, so you'll have to save them yourself. (Well, it *is* possible to import them using the correct line of script - use "load resource")
2. the "menu" widgets in the dialogs are now excellent, while they were rather calamitous in OS9 (where they operated an obscure mechanism based on menu resources). When you open in OSX a dialog saved under OS9, the old menu widgets have disappeared (and the indices of the widgets after those have shifted accordingly).
3. "stid" and "resettid" were suppressed (the shortcuts for "set text item delimiters blah"). That's just stupid from us.
The numerous other differences - that are listed on the Relesae notes page <
http://www.satimage-software.com/en/releasesmilex.html> - should not break anything.
For the users of the Satimage osax and not of Smile:
- OSX made it possible to export more features into the Satimage osax than in OS9. Thus, the Satimage osax for OSX contains more, in particular it contains the Navigation services additions.
- more of the mathematical stuff was also exported into the osax.
Finally the users of Smile for OS9 may want to know that the Smile Reference Manual, downloadable only from the home page for our OSX software
<
http://www.satimage-software.com/en/softx.html#smile>, despite the fact that it was written for Smile OSX only, contains lots of information valid under OS9 that were never published elsewhere.
