Surely a 'proper' RO utility should be setting sysvars with its own
name as a prefix, so maybe testacs$alt, testacs$ctrl, testacs$shift ?
There are, as far as I know, no rules for utilities setting system
variables. For application, yes, the rule is to use AppName$foobar.
Sorry! It's not just a utility then (some of which are applications,
like !WaitUntil) but a Utility (if you see what I mean).
This is all academic now that ROOL has accepted my request to allocate
Alt$Pressed, Ctrl$Pressed and Shift$Pressed as system variables used by
TestACS. Although I had assumed, and mentioned, that they'd probably
already been requested by whoever wrote the original Test$xxx
utilities.
Which turned out not to be the case.
Registration is what matters though...
Something else... when I used Firefox to go to
http://www.stronged.iconbar.com/fjg.index.html
I received in return an error page from the server saying:
Multiple Choices
The document name you requested (/fjg.index.html) could not be found
on
this server. However, we found documents with names similar to the one
you requested.
Available documents:
/fjg (common basename)
Was that intended?
