First, to Trev and all the others list members and their families, friends,
and loved ones, let me also wish a peaceful, joyous and prosperous
Christmas-New Year season.
Calmira is a graphical user interface making 16 bit Windows/DOS OS into a
cosmetically acceptable substitute for its more modern cousins. It provides
an updated, modern appearance for those of us who wish to run a more compact,
faster, less resource intensive operating system on older, or slower, or
smaller equipment that is available, affordable or simply desired, and it
does a good job of it. As with any "work in progress," it will, as it
asymptotically approaches its final or optimum form, which is what its
original goal was to do, require less development, reveal less or smaller or
less frequent bugs and the resulting communication, revision, reporting and
correcting will diminish. If it should become "perfect," such communication
might stop altogether other than adulation which would also diminish or stop.
From October 'til now, a period of less than 3 months which I will take as
"few," there have been 37 messages; that averages more than 12 per month or
more than 3 per week or nearly 1 every other day, for a "work in progress"
nearing it ultimate goal or "perfection," that "ain't" bad. Most of the
messages posted to this group (unlike this one) are concise informative notes
of advice, instruction and observation and have helped or led to this goal.
The average is about 15 per month since June.
I guess that the dream aspiration of 32bit and long file name support are
practically impossible, but then I am one of those people without the
knowledge and or skill necessary to the accomplishments already realized by
Erwin and Brian and all the other contributors and developers who have
already applied so much of their talents and labors to bring the rest of us
this neat Christmas present all year long for several years without expecting
or receiving anything in return other than the sense of pride and
satisfaction that is the reward of a "Job Well Done." Thanks Guys/Girls or
Girls/Guys, and, again, may all of you have and enjoy a special "Holiday
Season."
Thanks and have a happy, Bob.
P.S. No matter how good it is or gets, I sure do like seeing the "goodies"
and "graphics," and "tweaks" and "tinsel" that you all keep coming up with.
