Paul,
<p>You must be tired of negative feedback by now, so I thought I'd take
a minute to make some positive observations about what I'm seeing already
in v35.
<ul>
<li>
First, with respect to direct telescope communications - This is rev is
the first one I can't seem to crash or even make do a comms timeout.</li>
<li>
Even the <b>Compare Computer Telescope Settings</b> item runs cleanly as
far as comms is concerned.</li>
<li>
I am no longer able to crash the program by moving from <b>Objects</b>
list tab to <b>FOV</b>, and <b>Sky</b>, no matter how many times I do it,
or what is going on at the time.</li>
<li>
quickly changing items in the <b>Objects</b> list no longer causes the
program to exit. [I didn't report this because it wasn't reproducable]</li>
<li>
AP seems to ba able to run for long periods of time while connected to
a scope, without any odd behaviors. I'll continue to track this, but it's
already run for several hours without issue. [This hasn't been possible
for a few revs]</li>
</ul>
I wonder if it would be useful to have us re-test still open items and
re-iterate if they still apply?
<br>I'm just trying to save you some time and headache here.
<p>Anyway, this rev represents a major step in reliability from what I'm
seeing.
<p>Bravo!
<p>Chris
