| I've had time to look at the article on TASS so here is a bit more
info. The utilities on this disk are Graphic/video utilities.Aside
from pagescript there are
1: Image-After invoking the image utility the view gadget will
allow you to display IFF files or single step thru ANIM files.
The Split function will split an ANim into seperate IFF files.
The Process function will allow you to flip an image on it's axis,
do mirror imaging,convert ham to other formats,color edge detection,
and image resizing.The article said you could do many other things
but did not list any more.
2:Screens-is a screen grabber that allows you to select from
a list of screens.
3:Arrows-allows you to shift the screen interactivly.
4:Dir Tool-A directory requester utility that has three text
scroll gadgets.One for volume names,one for file selection,and the
last to assemble a list of selected files.
5:Coloreq-A color requestor which, when called from AREXX can
return from the user a single color,a range of colors,or an entire
pallette.It can also be used to revise workbench colors.
6:Fontreq-when called from AREXX it will return from the user
a font,and it's attributes.
7:Prefs-a workbench utility which communicates with ARexx.
8:Showtext-a utility to display text files.
9:sysreq-A utility to display system messages,or help messages.
10:Selectstring-A utility to be used with ARexx functions to
provide the user with a list of strings to select from.
11:Getinteger/getstring-used with ARexx as a means of requesting
a string,or number from a user.
and an Icon used to preview these utilities.
The author states that this has led to a version of
PageRender 3D called PageRexx 3D which has absolutly no user interface.
Now I will be the first to admit that some of the above is
confusing,butI plan to build the THUT disk,and give it a try.As
soon as I sort it out I will upload the TASS directory(need to move
and pack several directories).It may be easier to warp a TASS disk,but
I haven't done this before.Any suggestions would be helpfull.

| I installed TASS on my hard drive and tried it... once. Maybe if I
spend more time it might make more sense, but my first impression was
that their interface is very strange. There were no pull-down menus
and windows didn't have the usual close gadgets, etc. Eventually my
system crashed, but that may not have been directly related to TASS.
