CNN for the first time mentions Albanians as separatists. Good morning, Columbus.
This being officially a holiday and a sunday, I'm working on that scrollable container with questions for the evaluations app for Zero. As I wrote two years later on UA:
I was putting an ActiveX scrollbar on the screen, and did not use the VFP's scroll ability, because the form (class) was developed before VFP6. Instead, I used three layers of containers within containers. The outer container was big enough to fit on the form. The middle container was as big as needed, and by manipulating its .top property I achieved scrolling (setting to negative values most of the time). The inner containers were not really necessary, I used them just to accomodate a set of current controls while the form was built. It was a poll answer entry type of form, so depending on the questionnaire it would have more or less questions - but then all the controls were question-answer oriented, and I had the luxury of having a generic question class, which was based on a container with a few controls on it. I had some issues on automatic scrolling only, i.e. when the last visible container loses focus, I wanted the form to scroll to the next container.
This automatic scroll-on-focus-shift could actually be achieved without much coding, if you make sure the next control is visible; that would involve making sure both the current and the next control are visible (and probably the previous one as well), so you'd need some code to sufficiently center each control as it gains focus. In my case, I only had to center it vertically, because all the containers (outer, middle and inner) had the same width.

As is usual these days, lots of traffic on aman mailing list. It's actually about 90% of all of today's mail.
For oldwave:
Well, here I can tell the „why the don't bomb Zrenjanin“
Allegedly, they sent one to drop a bridge, a barracks and a place with minority population, as close to city as possible. The guy flew over and came back having done nothing. What was that about?
- as for the bridge, found it but there was no river, so I didn't know whether it's a bridge or some serbian fuckery
- the barracks is in the area which is called „Little America“, as the Cia guys briefed me, so I didn't know whether it was ours
- found the village, the Cia guys said it was half hungarian - but from the data I saw that every other chick there is named Monika, so I didn't dare...
In other version, the reason was that the Albright has a sister in Dudara. [dud - mulberry tree]
Dudara is the gypsy end, pressed between the river, bridge, cemetery and Oilery. There are no Banatian Gypsies there, they've been driven out by Gypsies from Kosovo. They have a regular influx of refugees from there.
