[ANN] The Scripter's Scrapbook version 5

[Stephen Barncard]

I have no problem with paying for software tools, I have bought or 
donated for software created by several on this list. My problem was 
that there was a major switch in the distribution method of SSb that 
caught me unawares and I overwrote the old .rev file with 5.x. 
Luckily, I had a .zip file of v4 in my archives.

I like version 4 just fine, with the exception of the 'code' font 
which is a variation of Courier, I think, that for some reason on the 
Mac shows up as being very grey and hard to read.(Has anyone else 
seen this?). I just have to forgo colorization.

  I have the same problem with yahoo groups, only worse there. As I 
communicated with the authors of SSb, I thought the next 4.x version 
would have at least that oversight fixed.

I probably buy it eventually, but a note in the [ANN like, "You've 
had this for free for a while but I gotta make it pay for itself" 
would have been nice to know. No big deal.
