Announcing the Scripter's Scrapbook v5
"the personal reference library for all programmers"
 
 
The Flexible Learning Company is delighted to announce the arrival of the  
Scripter's Scrapbook version 5, the personal reference library for all  
programmers. This is a major upgrade with more Internet capabilities, hence the  delay 
since the last increment. We hope you will find it not only useful but  also 
a meeting point for fellow software authors, whatever your platform,  interest 
and level of expertise. Every Scrapbook runs 'as is' under  Windows, Mac and 
OSX, with download options to suit your personal preferences  and ways of 
working.

What's New?
In short, a lot. First, the emphasis has been to maintain the program  style 
you are used to, so although the range of features and benefits is  greatly 
expanded, you get to choose how much or how little you want to  access within 
the security of familiarity. Secondly, spreading the scope to  embrace all 
language platforms. Most of us use more than one program, even if  Rev is best :-) 
>From FileMaker, Flash and AppleScript to VB.net, C and  html, whatever your 
circumstances, the Scripter's Scrapbook aims to provide the  support you want. 
And since it is written entirely in transcript, we feel that  it also 
represents the power of Revolution and transcript as a development  language!
 
The ReadMe link will give you the run-down of the key enhancements, but a  
few tasty morsels include...
 
- ssBk Chat, based on ChatRev but customized and enhanced  to meet the needs 
of the new version including direct Scrapbook-to-Scrapbook  transfers.
 
- On-Line Publisher and Browser, so you can upload, share,  and grab useful 
solutions all direct within your Scrapbook. The more that is  contributed, the 
greater the choice will be. Over 180 different languages are  available to 
post under, so we hope that multi-lingual as well as mono-lingual  authors will 
benefit.
 
- Fully customisable Language associations for the  flexibility to decide 
your own set-up.
 
- Additional script and code colorizing, including  AppleScript, Flash, 
JavaScript, PERL, REALBasic, SQL, Toolbook, VB, VB.net, and  VBScript
 
- Future updates are completely  automated, so all your preferences, settings 
and existing Entries are  transferred for you.
 
- Text formatting, a tab ruler, line numbering and  additional built-in icons 
all aimed to give you presentational control.
 
- Multi-styled Web publishing layout choices with an  optional hyperlink 
index lets you keep and share 'hard copy' automatically in a  convenient 
cross-platform format.
 
- Drag and drop archive restore, instantly importing  backups or subsets. 
This means that one Scrapbook can be used to manage an  unlimited number of 
record sets and is in addition to maintaining multiple  Scrapbooks, of course, so 
your options are really entirely up to you.
 
- Speech is implemented under Windows and OSX with a range  of 'avatars' to 
choose from. Great to get the kids interested!
 
- Three 'Tours' for fast orientation, including Organizing  Scrapbooks and 
Building a System. If we can do more, let us know.
 
 
Almost 2,000 copies have been downloaded in the past year, so something  must 
be worth investigating! And as a Rev user you get a very special offer  until 
15 June as well.
 
 
Welcome to version 5... Enjoy!
