Hi Ron and all,

Thanks!! That's exactly what I was hoping for - and, no, I'm not going to
ignore the ones with no sound files; just nice to know quickly which ones
have it!

No, not too many errors in the Bulgarian version - hope to have it soon.

Not sure about a sound file for that one, but would like at some point soon
to possibly do one for Ukrainian and Russian.

I'm anxiously awaiting the Cornish version! What about some of the Romance
languages??!! I'd love to hear more of those too.

Keep 'em coming!!

Hi, Mike!

Good to hear from you, and thanks for the suggestion.

Actually, the respective pages are already flagged on the site map
(http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/index.php?page=contents).

However, I take it you mean the index (drop-down menu under "Language
Samples").  Let's see what we can do without making it too cryptic, given
that we can't use graphics in the menu ... I think.

I hope it wasn't too embarrassingly many mistakes.  But then again ... What
do I care.  As with a few now completed versions, things don't get done at
all unless I start them, because people tend to prefer picking apart other
people's works to doing them themselves.  Namesake of wily Reynke de Vos
that I am, I exploit this tendency in order to get things started.  :-)  Any
chance of a sound file, Mike?

Oy, and what about all those other versions, you ... and you ...? You know
whom I mean.  ;-)

OK.  Here's an update:

I tinkered with the index (drop-down menu) and actually succeeded in
embedding a graphic in it (which took a lot of trial and error).  Before
that I experimented with a character, but no character was self-explanatory,
and I did not want to put a legend anywhere, didn't find a place for it
anyway, and most people ignore legends and instructions.  So, what do you
think about it now?  Is this what you had in mind, Mike?

Now, does this mean that you are going to ignore pages without sound files?
;-)

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
