Just a spot . . .

However, just at the moment I am gearing up to use 8.1.4 with the kids 
on my summer courses (so not much time to test
8.1.5) and excited about that: mainly because each year I have kids 
working with LiveCode they discover/uncover ways
of doing things I never dreamt of . . .

. . . another thing that makes LiveCode so fantastic!

That reminds me: I have to dig out the machine running ReactOS from 
under the bed (so called because most people's reaction
on seeing it is . . . ) and try to run the latest Windows version there, 
and on WINE on Linux.

While standing to pee maybe . . . running the Windows version of LC on 
ReactOS is . . . . probably plain daft!
