Cool! Thanks!  I'm working on some final details, and as soon as I get an /installer that works correctly, I'll give you a shout.

I've had really good luck with Inno Setup:

The best part is that it is free as in beer, even for commercial use. So you might have a look at that.

Looks like I'm not the only one who  tried to do a Press Game.  

I don't think my set turned out too bad, and if I have any images still left, I'll try to post it.  But I was using Director 7 to try and make the game, and I couldn't figure out how to set some things up properly like the transitions..

Normally posts don't aggrivate me, but...

Give me a break.  Spelling isn't my strong suit, so don't bash me over the head with it each time.  I do go back and correct the ones I notice...

But, just to please you, I installed ASpell for Firefox... Happy?

If it fixes the irritating "maby" thing? Thrilled! :)

The Geocities link worked for me. When I went there, there were four sponsored links for Flokati rugs. No foolin'.

Hmm, that's weird.  I used the Spell Checker, and it didn't find any errors.  I even highlighted it to be sure and did it twice..

[/quote]That's the problem. You're using it as a crutch. The better thing to do is to learn how to spell properly, then you won't need spell checker. Believe me, when you misspell a word so elementary as "maby"...you don't appear smart.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

No no no no no. He's shown a commitment to make an effort, and he shouldn't be dumped on for that.

That said, Shredder, Travis illustrates why this stuff matters...if you want your posts to be taken seriously, you should care that it's easy to read. And misspellings and poor grammar make things harder to read. Props to you if you can get that working. The reason I pointed out Spellbound Development (the second link) is because it's the only browser spellchecker that I have found that has a spell-as-you-type function...as you're writing a post it will underline questionable words with a red dotted line, and you can Ctrl-Click on them and have it suggest corrections or add a word that you KNOW is right to the custom dictionary, just like a real word processor. :)

Because we can't talk this long about spelling without me saying SOMETHING:

One of the biggest tricks to spelling more reliably is noticing how words are related. "Maybe", as a fine example, is simply (spelling-wise) a combination of the words "may" and "be".

Ha!  Imagine that!

(Not harping on you, Robert... it just amazes me that the word 'maybe' could be misspelled.  But I misspell 'misspell' all the time.  So it's all relative.)

I found out why this program didn't catch the last word.  I missed one important step in the process.....The choosing of the language at the bottom..I thought it just defaulted to English, but I actually had to select it even though it was the only one available.
