"Wow. Someone read it? And in detail?" At this point I don't know if I should laugh or cry at that sentiment. If the tutorial helped anyone, that makes me happy. Anyway, looking back on it now, I see

I'm with you there. No, the original should not be edited. What I would suggest, if you want to take on the task, is to create a file listing the changes and then uploading it to the same folder and w

Hi Art, there's a trivial error in the tutorial from Wayne M. VanWeerthuizen, in the sample clip in lines 43ff in the .otl file: the label :_YES is missing - and it's not optional as stated in the tex

Thomas already gave a good response but didn't address (unless I didn't understand) the possibility of running a clip which would update all the clip names in a library at any time. I envision finding

Hi Ray, I absolutely agree. Actually, the ISO standard international date format is YYYY-MM-DD, which has the same characteristics (unambiguous, and sort friendly). I must always laugh when someone us
