Hey Brian, man
could you please comment upon the precise and specific differences, that
you personally find, between, say, doug's BX toolBox, and what Jim's JLS
utilities tool both do/offer?
advantages of one over the other etc?
and then I know that I think is it Jamal? also makes another exploritory
utility called the homer scripts?
I think they are called?
? and michael curren from australia, who I know for a fact
managed to eek out a lot of MSAA code for handling sonar's toolbar, all
kinds of amazing stuff like being able to check and uncheck and thus
obviously monitor various tools states through the usage of spaceBar etc.
and he makes something called jfwTechnical I think?
and in addition, now I've heard that you have produced something recently
that your selling called JTools! So, would you care to share your insights
as to all of this? and also just why you've thought it worth producing what
I presume without yet investigating, is your own subset/toolbox of these
exploration tools?
That'd be cool if you'd like to do that.
thanks.
