That's funny 'cos for the second time I have started over last week a tutorial (in French) intended for the total newbies and computer illiterates. I don't know yet where I'm going to but my goal is to publish those lessons on the euro.futurebasic site. Unfortunately, I cannot devote that much time on this heavy task at the moment, for that matter I could be interested in having a look at your lessons. Now, while I'm here, I would say that I'm considering to get rid of the Pouch, I know it is still well frequented but I've been unable to keep it up to date and I hate to see it in that state. For the same reason I have given up on the idea to give away the Pouch in the Apple help format. In fact, I've started to believe that it is not a good thing for the promotion of FB^3, nowadays. Actually, the Pouch is OK for those who already know fairly enough FB, but I fear that for novices it may bring more confusion than help. When shall we see a great book about FB^3 on the shelves? -- Cheers Alain ----------------------------------------------------- FB^3 in Europe: http://euro.futurebasic.com/ FB II Pouch: http://www.pixmix.com/FB/outils.html -----------------------------------------------------
