Hi Michael,
Is it possible for you to let us know about changes like this (the
redefinition of the function of GHOST) so we can make updates in a coordinated
way?
I'm really happy to see arrows handled in MLCad, but learning about their
function and its implications to LPub by experimentation makes it easy for us to
miss stuff, and then have users tell us our programs are broken.
I am extremely grateful to you for MLCad. It is awesome, and it is great that
you are adding such wonderful new features.
Thanks!
Kevin
