Hi,
you asked for comments/bug-reports, so please
don't understand the following as critisism.
I would rather like to thank you for your work.

- I don't seem to be able to find the file
'en-thotdialogue' in the distribution
(I downloaded the a.out Linux-binary 'thot-linux.tar.gz').
Thus all the dialogs of thot are in french language.
(Never mind, I learned french at school, but having english
as the dialogue-language would be nice, too)
- Why is scrolling/moving in the text not possible
with the page-up/page-down keys and the cursor-keys ?
Having the scrollbar as (almost) the only way to scroll
through the text seems impractical to me since one always
has to position the mouse-pointer on a narrow region (over
the scrollbar). Using PageUp/Down and the Cursor-Keys seems to
be much easier to me.
- would it be possible to automatically call some
'gif2ps'-tool, if present, thus allowing to include gifs into
LaTeX-code ?
- what are the future plans for THOT ?
Will it remain free of charge in educational
institutions ? Will private, non commercial use under
Linux be free in the final release ?

Bye and have a nice day,
R"udiger
