Eggs beans and spam Spellings can stop you getting this.

Select on an omega

Sent 10 May 2003 14:12:01 by Phil Mellor
Select on an omega Yes, it works. The image file renderer may be extended to cover text formats in the future. Some applications like stronged don't work with the writeable icon but and paste, and impression doesn't use the custom icons but mostly It's seamless. On the website next weekend, hopefully.
