Real time visualizer is almost done. I am “going public” about Haywire, Barnburner, and the like, working towards a beta test by the end of the month. I decided to put off 64-native for a little while and just ship version 1 with 32.
I was given a “Rush Project” by our friend Mr. Big, so I have been pounding away on that for the most of May, but should be able to do another wave of alpha around May 26 and aim for a freeze, etc., a week later.
Do let me know if your issues are still problematic or if the last build I sent works. I was able to run it with Vista 32, and it is less spectacular than XP, because of the security paranonia that Microsoft added. I will probably have to add a driver just to get around that nonsense.
You seem to be cranking out the good stuff at your usual supersonic velocity and wanted to check in and let you know I am still in the game.
You can share more info about the program if you desire, it isn’t a secret at all - I won’t be able to set up testers, etc, until after the 25th. I will amp up the web page around then too. (I mention you in the one that is there, and will likely compound the deed then.)
