| 6 | TStatusBar is working, as is "smart" window placement. Overall this |
| 7 | is looking quite nice. Found a lot of other small paper cut items and |
| 8 | fixed them. It looks absolutely gorgeous on Mac now. |

| 10 | Tomorrow I will get to the public wifi and get this uploaded. |

| 12 | Time to call this 0.0.4 now though. We are up to 32,123 lines of |
| 13 | code. |

| 17 | Jexer is coming back to active development status. I had a lot of |
| 18 | other projects ahead of it in the queue, mostly Qodem but also Jermit |
| 19 | and of course lots of actual day job work keeping me too tired for |
| 20 | afterhours stuff. But here we are now, and I want to get Jexer to its |
| 21 | 1.0.0 release before the end of 2018. After that it will be a |
| 22 | critical bit of function for IWP and NIB, if I ever get those going. |
| 23 | I need to re-organize the demo app a bit so that it fits within 80x25, |
| 24 | and then get to TStatusBar. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | A status bar will be an optional part of TWindow. If it exists, then |
| 27 | it will be drawn last by TApplication and get events routed to it from |
| 28 | TWindow's event handlers. This will have the nice effect that the |
| 29 | status bar can change depending on which window is active, without any |
| 30 | real extra work on TApplication's part. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | Putting together a proper TODO now, with release and regression |
| 33 | checklists. I think I will see if jexer is available at SourceForge, |
| 34 | and if so grab it. Perhaps I can put together some good Turbo Vision |
| 35 | resources too. At the very least direct people to the Borland-derived |
| 36 | C++ releases and Free Vision. |
