It's been a long time coming. The screenshots of Behold that were up on its screenshot page were taken from Behold version 0.98.7a alpha, 23 Nov 2006. Those were from my old Windows XP machine and have XP's standard blue-framed theme. I figure now that I've updated all the screenshots in the Tutorial of ...

Some fixes and improvements. Most important is that the detailed information in the sources was not all appearing. Now it does. The full list of changes are on the Behold History page. But this is the first part of the final leg. I'm working hard on the User Guide for Behold, which was previously called the ...

Sheesh! The things that take me away from Behold development sometimes get out of hand. But at least this one I've figured out and got a temporary workaround for it. The problem. I had a few people complain to me that they had a problem when they tried to purchase Behold from its BuyNow page.. That is a ...

One of the things I've been delaying is getting Behold the "Certified for Windows 7" logo. Way back in 2007, I was turned off from getting the Vista certification when they required a Verisign certificate. Later, once I resigned myself to them not backing down on that, I found out they want a Version 1.0 and ...

I found out the glitch in the last version was more than just two shortcut keys. It seemed that most of the shortcut keys weren’t working. So this required a replacement version pronto. This change and the other few fixes in this release are listed on the Behold History page. Meanwhile, I’m doing the ...

Finally I'm getting close (I say as I rub my hands together). I've fixed all the bugs and improved all the inconsistencies that I had on my list to do prior to Version 1.0. Many of you have reported problems to me and I hope I've caught them all. I may have inadvertently missed a few, but they'll get done in ...

So you open the Find window in Behold. You open another window over Behold, but the Find window stays on top. C'mon. I'm just calling the standard Find Dialog from within Behold. It's simply: FindDialog.execute; I'm not doing anything special. This shouldn't happen. What's going on. When the going ...

This final phase of getting Behold ready for release is mostly bug fixes and ensuring everything works. A bit more of this is left and then the new help files and the release. I’ve been getting pretty good at fixing bugs. Most take only a few minutes to track down, and then only a few more minutes to figure ...

In correcting one problem with Behold, I noticed that some of the NOTEs and DATA tags were not being displayed cleanly. Words were jammed together and lines did not skip to new lines where they looked like they should. Overall, Behold's display of this data looked sloppy and unacceptable. Researching into ...

It’s the end on February, and life got in the way again. So the next version of Behold won’t make it out this month. Let’s work for March now. There were a few tricky bugs I was solving, and then I got caught with a couple of weeks of distracting life-events: father in hospital, income taxes for 6 ...
