Greetz! If you have a minute or ten, please download http://www.beunited.org/content/BeOS-Critiques.txt fill in the details and rush it back to Technix, who is leading this initiative yours truly came up with. It's all about the BeOS R5 "standard apps" and the "Preferences elements", and what users/devs would like to see changed/improved there. Technix will compile the info and make it available to interested parties, because there's a lot that should be changed in R1 (which I personally would call R5+) both UI and feature-wise. Thanks for your support, Helmar P.S. WRT encryption: if we succeed to add encryption in a pervasive and really dead-easy way, we'd give the BeOS a competitive edge over any other OS out there, especially if we then market it properly - which is what BeUnited is all about. :-) -- Sonork S.R.L. | Professional Instant Messaging Software Fast, secure, stable, powerful, easy to use, and frugal! -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.sonork.com - http://www.sonork.de helmar@xxxxxxxxxx - Sonork ID: 0.12 - t: +27-21-794-3414 -------------------------------------------------------- NEW VERSION RELEASED! v1.6 with NAT and HTTP support!
