Dear list,
I couldn't find anyone answering my question
on the list... (sob!) Given the traffic these days,
I can see various reason for this...
1- Nobody understood what I meant
2- Nobody ever had this problem
3- Noobody ever solved this problem within PD
4- My mail just got drowned in friday's mail rush
5-The question is too hard and nobody wanted
to waste time answering this.
6-The question is too easy and nobody wanted
to waste time answering this.
7- other?
still searching ... waiting for a kind GEM/OpenGL guru
to help me find sleep again
many thanks!
