An aging community we are

[John Esak]

It actually works very well. Now there are two caveats.  One, I did my
testing in a telnet window.... Actually probably a FacetWin window into
Unix.  I don't remember if I tried on the Windows Native version. But, also,
after you do the regular setup (you read progressively longer paragraphs as
it learns your voice) then be sure to set it to translate the most possible
punctuation and turn the date processing off.  This way you can actually sit
there and say things like..

ENTER  (to get to the If condition from the label.
Yy space eq "27"  (to put in the condition)
ENTER (to get to the then line)
Yy equals sign quotes quotes  (for yy="")

It all works pretty cool, but you have to get used to talking in code...
Which is not as easy as typing it.  Like I say, for the brief tests I did
with it about 5 years ago, I made so many little mistakes, I was constantly
going back to repair them.  I didn't give it very long at all... And just
went back to typing.

Besides, if anyone ever watched me type (as some do at my work) it would
drive you crazy.  I'm all over the place. Sometimes I type in the then line
go back and fill in the if line then go to the label.... Then jumping to the
end of the then and adding something ... Immediately pushing it all down a
line with F3 and doing it all in a completely different order. There appears
to be absolutely no pattern or rhyme and reason to how I type code in. :-)
But, it does usually work! :-)

Like I said once before though, these days I get more and more dumb syntax
errors... Not really syntax problems, but pure typos, reversals, etc.  It is
so frustrating because there was a time when I could type in 25 lines of
code press ESC/ESC and it would all compile perfectly.  Those days are gone
with the onset of my rendition of old timer's desease. :-)

All I can hope is that this is happening to *everyone* and it's not just me!
