[js] CS Scripting not working with CS3

Hello,
We had a JavaScript made for us that enabled the user to exchange certain text within a document.
This script works fine with CS (Ver.3.0.1) but gives a JavaScript Error - #55, Error String: Object does not support the property or method 'findPreferences' with CS3 (Ver.5.0)
I have tried 'tinkering' around with the scripting - but I have zero experience with JavaScript and have not found a solution.
Additionally the people that wrote the initial script are not available.
I have bought several books but they all seem like alien-language to me
Below is the section of origional CS scripting.
Can anyone point out to me WHY this script does not work with CS3?
And WHERE I should start looking - changing?
Thanks in advance for your help and guidence.
Lee
// Exchange the text
function actProjectData(oneDoc, oneResult){
app.findPreferences = null; app.changePreferences = null;
oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[0],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myProjectTitleCharStyleNa me)}, undefined);
oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[1],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myOfferNoCharStyleName)}, undefined);
oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[2],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myOfferDateCharStyleName) }, undefined);
app.findPreferences = null; app.changePreferences = null;

> Come to think of it, maybe it's easier to create a folder "Version 4.0 Scripts" under your scripts folder and place your CS script in there. Maybe that will do the trick. Should have thought of that earlier.
Tried this, but it didn't seem to do anything... But certainly a 'try' worth.
Currently playing around with the:
> app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "a";
app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "b";
oneDoc.changeText();
I've got to the point where I have no error messages :-) Now I'm really flying.....
Fact is - not all text and also the wrong text is replaced!!!
I'm currently playing with the script to try and replace
all texts with a given paragraph style with the entered text...
Not proving to be simple for me, but I'm learning rather a lot!
Now that doesn't sound very clear when I go back and read it!
What I want to say is:
Each page of the document has the project name, No & Date on it (each having their own paragraph style)
so
With this script it asks you the Project name, No. and Date and then goes
through the whole document and replaces all instants of those texts with specific paragraph styles with the newly 'entered' text.
Proving to be a little mountain for me - Thought it would only be a hill!

  • JS Scripts not working in CS3

    When I was using CS2 2 years ago I was asked to make a calendar for a client. I used a script from Adobe Exchange. I have been asked to do the same this year. I am now running CS3... however this is the first time I have used my scripting panel since I upgraded and am having some troubles.
    I looked though a list of possible scripts and picked a few to try... But non of them seemed to work. I kept on trying more and more but none of them would run (even fairly new ones). I noticed that the file extentsion for this scripts is .JS but the scripts that come with CS3 is .JSX. I tried changing the extension but that did nothing.
    When I double click on the script from the scripting pannel it does nothing. just a micro second of seeing the spinning wheel and then back to the normal cursor.
    Any help? Am I missing something?
    Also this is on a Mac OS

    Thanks Dave
    Based on the information you have posted I have been doing everything correctly. But I am still having no luck.
    I did read an article by David Blatner on InDesign Secrets that talks about using the "Version" folders at http://indesignsecrets.com/using-old-scripts-in-cs3.php
    He mentions at the end a tip for people having trouble:
    >Bonus Script Troubleshooting Tip
    >By the way, Ive gotten a couple of emails from people who simply cant get their scripts to run on their Mac. They even did clean installations and the scripts still dont work. I was flummoxed, but Ryan Russelldedicated InDesignSecrets fancame up with a solution that worked for him. He noticed (with the help of Adobes tech support) that some of his folder names on his hard drive were slightly wrong.
    >Specifically, the folders in this path:
    >User>Library>Preferences>Adobe InDesign>Version 5.0
    >werent named the same as in this path:
    >User>Library>Cache>Adobe InDesign>Version 5.0
    >Apparently, thats all it takes for InDesign to break. He renamed the folders and all his scripts suddenly started working again. I dont know if that will help anyone else, but its worth looking into.
    Now I had a look at both folders and compared the two... they appear to be completely different and don't seem to relate at all. I don't know what I should try based on this suggestion.

  • ACROBAT STARTUP SCRIPTING NOT WORKING (with extendscript Tooklkit CS6)

    Hi
    I experienced in programming, but newbie in JS-Scripting in CS6.
    I have developed some scripts in the console of Acrobat XI Pro, now I wan't to install that global script callable by a menu.
    I work on Windows-7, with 64bit:
    The script path is:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Javascripts
    script name is Confg.js
    The script is created with Extendscript Tooklkit CS6 editor
    only contains this line:
    app.alert("Hi, from a globally executed script");
    I expect that an alert is poping up, when I open the Acrobat XI Pro with any PDF-File:
    for a change
    app.addMenuItem({cName:"Menu Test", cParent: "Help",   cExec: "app.alert('Menu Item Test'); "});
    doesn't work either
    after opening PDF XI Pro with an arbitry PDF I get an error in the console:
    Acrobat – Version mit integrierten EScript-Funktionen 11.0
    Acrobat SOAP 11.0
    SyntaxError: illegal character
    1:Folder-Level:App:Config.js
    If I create the file with a plain text editor, things will work fine, as expected.
    If I edit that clean file with Extendscript Tooklkit CS6 editor again the file is corrupted. This is rahter clumsy. Any solution, so I can work with Extendscript Tooklkit CS6 editor?

    Thanks for the reply.
    >>Acrobat is not one of listed programs that Extendscript is used with.
    I was already wondering about this. Thought my installation is corrupted or whatever
    Though with regret, I have to accept that Extendscript Toolkit can't be used with Acrobat XI scripting. I use jEdit meanwhile. This has syntax higlighting and a linenumbering, helpful to spot errorous linenumbers. This does the job so far.

  • Add file name script not working in CS3

    I have this wonderful script (written by Brian Price) back in 2004 for PS7 that adds the file name to an image ( I use it for adding file names to small images to be used in a slideshow).

  • ColdFusion Script not work with Httpservice

    At first I use PHP to generate xml output on page then use
    the data to my httpservice with resultformat e4x. Everything is
    fine. But now I want to use coldfusion script since I'm planning to
    use ColdFusion as my web server. I have this script located on my
    server and generate the data in XML file then the XML file is used
    in my web, loaded through httpservice.
    My PHP code was like this :
    <?php
    define( "DATABASE_SERVER", "localhost" );
    define( "DATABASE_USERNAME", "root" );
    define( "DATABASE_PASSWORD", "" );
    define( "DATABASE_NAME", "MyCinema" );
    $mysql = mysql_connect(DATABASE_SERVER, DATABASE_USERNAME,
    DATABASE_PASSWORD) or die(mysql_error());
    mysql_select_db( DATABASE_NAME );
    $Query = "SELECT * FROM film";
    $Result = mysql_query( $Query );
    $Return = "<movies>";
    while ( $film = mysql_fetch_object( $Result ) )
    $Return .= "<film><judul>".$film->JUDUL.
    "</judul><deskripsi>".$film->DESKRIPSI.
    "</deskripsi><genre>".$film->GENRE.
    "</genre><produser>".$film->PRODUSER.
    "</produser><produksi>".$film->PRODUKSI.
    "</produksi><homepage>".$film->HOMEPAGE.
    "</homepage><durasi>".$film->DURASI.
    "</durasi><url>".$film->URL."</url></film>";
    $Return .= "</movies>";
    mysql_free_result( $Result );
    print ($Return);
    ?>
    And now I try to get the same result using coldfusion script.
    At first I dont write the XML to file, I just cfoutput it just like
    I do with PHP just print result but it doesnt work out with my
    HTTPservice. Until I try to write it to XML file then coding my
    httpservice to read directly from that XML file. here is my
    coldfusion code.
    <cfcomponent>
    <cffunction name="a" returnType="Void" output="true"
    access="remote">
    <cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace="Yes">
    <cfquery name="GetFilm" datasource="myCinemaData">
    SELECT b.* FROM playing a, film b
    WHERE a.kode_film=b.kode_film AND a.start >
    <cfqueryPARAM value = "#DateFormat(Now())#"
    CFSQLType = "CF_SQL_STRING">
    </cfquery>
    <cfxml variable="userXML">
    <movies>
    <cfloop query="GetFilm">
    <cfoutput>
    <film>
    <judul>#GetFilm.JUDUL#</judul>
    <deskripsi>#GetFilm.DESKRIPSI#</deskripsi>
    <genre>#GetFilm.GENRE#</genre>
    <produser>#GetFilm.PRODUSER#</produser>
    <produksi>#GetFilm.PRODUKSI#</produksi>
    <homepage>#GetFilm.HOMEPAGE#</homepage>
    <durasi>#GetFilm.DURASI#</durasi>
    <url>#GetFilm.URL#</url>
    </film>
    </cfoutput>
    </cfloop>
    </movies>
    </cfxml>
    </cfprocessingdirective>
    <cffile action="write"
    file="#expandPath(".")#\userXML.xml" output="#userXML#">
    </cffunction>
    </cfcomponent>
    Because I need to create the XML files first I try to execute
    this coldfusion script first using webservice before I execute my
    Httpservice but the XML file creation is slower than the execution
    of my httpservice afterthat so it shows an error that my XML file
    isn't not available. What can i do? I've tried to show the output
    using cfoutput and run that script directly on my httpservice just
    like the way I use print result on PHP but it produce an
    error.

    ... I try to execute this coldfusion script first using
    webservice before I execute my Httpservice but the
    XML file creation is slower than the execution of
    my httpservice afterthat so it shows an error
    that my XML file isn't not available.
    Then it might help to apply a named lock to ensure that the
    Httpservice runs only after the web service call is complete. For
    example, apply an exclusive named lock on the code that calls the
    web service and a readonly lock of the same name to the Coldfusion
    code that interacts with the Httpservice.

  • Picexport is not working with SCRIPT

    Hi ALL,
    I have upgraded my diadem from 2010 to 11 and now this is not working anymore:
    Call PicExport("X:\transfer\081022\"&SaveFile&"_scaled_tsr","WMF",1,768,1024,"",75,"",0)
    when I try this script i get a first the failure message ==> acsess violation; and when i retry this function I get the message that this function is not activated
    please help me
    THX in advance

    Hy,
    I have tried now almost all formats with the same result:
    - when I use the picexport "by hand" it works fine!
    - when I use the record function for scripting it is working...
    - I stop the recording and want to run the script, it works the first time and then I get first the access violation msg and then the "not activated" msg
    I dont wanna use the PDF eport because I have arround 200-300 pictures per "run" which I want to quickcheck ("scrolling" thru all pics witch a picture viewer) and this not very useful by PDF...
    So there must be a solution?!!!! The same script was working with the last diadem version...

  • Captivate 4 AS2 Text Entry Box not working with Flash Player 11

    I am having issues with text entry boxes not working at all in flash 11. I am using Captivate 4 and exporting an AS2 swf. When you get to the slide you can type but you cannot see anything nor does the button or keystroke to move on. Also there is no cursor. Any ideas?

    You said it is not working with Flash 11, so does that mean you tested with previous version and that worked?
    While publishing choose Flash player as 9 and publish that, verify if that plays in a compatible web browser.
    AS 2 is a legacy scripting, it has been said not too be supported with even Flash Player 10 --
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
    I believe if you switch back to version 9 while publish your project, it should work.

  • Modifer keys do not work with mouse in Illustrator

    Below is a copy of a bug report I just submitted to Adobe. I don't suppose any users have run across this and found a solution or workaround?
    I found someone else with this problem in an archived topic thread, but the only response that poor fellow got was an accusation of not following instructions (His problem wasn't user error, BTW).
    Thanks
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    Modifer keys do not work with mouse: For example, free transform or rotate behaviors that require "Click-Ctrl" .
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. select object
    2. select free transform tool
    3. left click (without releasing) a corner of the bounding box.
    4. start dragging
    5. press ctrl
    Results:
    object behaves as though the ctrl key was not pressed. i.e. the cursor does not change shape and the object scales rather than distorts.
    Expected results: The cursor should change shape as the ctrl key is pressed and the object should distort rather than scale.
    Additional information: This behavior is intermittent. Occasionally Illustrator recognizes the "Click-Ctrl" combination and behaves exactly as the help file predicts it will. The cursor changes shape and the object distorts rather than scales. I can offer no rhyme or reason for when Illustrator will behave as advertised and when it will ignore the modifier keys.
    The example above involves the free transform tool, but the problem occurs just as often with other tool behaviors that require a modifier key + mouse combination.
    Primarily using Wacom Intuos3 tablet. (with latest drivers), but have also tried combinations with microsoft mouse or both mice installed.
    Also, immediately after an occurrence Illustrator bug, left AI open, went to a different app that uses mouse+modifier (Ctrl+Click). That different app recognizes Ctrl+Click with no problems whatsoever.

    Thanks Guys,
    Good to know it's working for you. I guess that's the nature of intermittent bugs. Of course, Adobe's bug report form has a field for version, which I, of course, filled in. Sorry I didn't add it to this post. I'm using the latest version CS3 v13.0.2.
    Stephen,
    Sorry I was not more clear when I said, "For example, ...". I was talking about the modifier keys not working with several different tools. The Free Transform tool advertises functionality that is supposed to work with a "Click (down, but don't release)then hold down Ctrl" combination. The Rotate tool advertises a behavior that is supposed to work with an "Alt-Click" combination. These are just 2 examples of the modifier keys not working. I focused primarily on one example in the bug report(ctrl after and in addition to click in the free transform tool, not alt-click in the rotate tool).
    Here is what I expect(quoted from Adobe's CS3 help file)
    (From the "Distort Objects with the Free transform tool" help topic)
    "Select one or more objects.
    Select the Free Transform tool .
    Start dragging a corner handle on the bounding box (not a side handle), and then do one of the following:
    Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) until the selection is at the desired level of distortion.
    Hold down Shift+Alt+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) to distort in perspective."
    (from the "Rotate an object by a specific angle" help topic:)
    You can control the exact angle of rotation with the Rotate command.
    Select one or more objects.
    "Do one of the following:
    To rotate around the center point, choose Object > Transform > Rotate, or double-click the Rotate tool.
    To rotate around a different reference point, select the Rotate tool. Then Alt‑click (Windows) or Option‑click (Mac OS) where you want the reference point to be in the document window.
    Enter the rotation angle in the Angle text box...."
    These Tool based mouse-key combinations do occasionally work as they are supposed to, so I know what the expected results are supposed to look like, but whether they work or not appears to depend on the phase of the moon, the day of the week, and the color of the president's underwear.
    Other non-tool based mouse-key combinations in Illustrator work consistently all the time - Ctrl-A for Select All as just one example that always works.

  • Better privecy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers?

    Question
    better privacy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers? edit
    Details

    As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
    Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
    In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
    C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
    Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
    Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
    If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
    If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
    Any luck?

  • Flash Player 11.3.300.262 Not working with Firefox. I think I found the problem.

    *Flash Player 11.3.300.262 is not working with Firefox. I think I found the problem.*
    Millions of people got off work & turned on there computers recently to discover that Firefox is not playing any videos or flash content. Just like me, millions of people are randomly searching the internet in a futile & frustrating attempt at answers. Unfortunately, many of those people will simply stop using firefox & deem it a glitchy, unreliable browser.
    This happened to me a couple days ago. I started up my computer & got a pop-up from Adobe saying that I need to update my flash player to 11.3.300.262. I've always thought of adobe as being a reliable software company, so I clicked on it with confidence that things will be working even smoother. To my horror, I relalized that right after the update, my main browser, firefox was destroyed. Then I went on the frustrating process of uninstalling, re-installing, running virus scan, researching the internet like a lost child. I said to myself, "that's why I hate updating stuff, because updates always seem to change stuff you don't want it to change & there always seems to be a problem with the updates." I usualy update software months after it releases, because microsoft & all the other software companies always seem not to test there stuff properly before releasing them. Then we have to look at a glitchy computer until the next update fixes it. Well, that is my rant. Now let me discuss the problem I found.
    Problem:
    What I did was, go into my firefox extentions menu & I disabled the 11.3.300.262 & I re-enabled the previous flash player. After that, everything worked perfect again. Then a today (a week later), I turned on my computer & my firefox wasn't playing any videos or flash content again. I went into my firefox extenions menu again, & I discovered that my old flash player had been deleted, & this new glitchy 11.3.300.262 had been enabled. Why did adobe feel the need to into my computer & automaticly delete & update my flash player. Now it doesn't work. THIS IS REALY FRUSTRATING!
    The Issue I discovered:
    "RealPlayer" is the most popular video program & it is installed on millions of computers. For some strange reason Firefox does not want its users to use Real Player. Specifically the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin 15.0.2. I also discovered that my Browser Record Plugin 15.0.2 was automatically disabled when the Adobe 11.3.300.262 was automatically updated also.
    - Maybe this could be because of some copyright conspiracy to keep people from downloading videos from the web.
    - Maybe firefox wants people to use there download add-on instead of RealPlayers downloader.
    I don't know what ther reason is. But what I do know is Nobody is going to delete there RealPlayer from there computer just to use FireFox. We can simply use Chrome or Internet explorer. I took the advise from Adobe & disabled the FireFox RealPlayer Extention. I also went into my RealPlayer preferences options, But there was no option to disable download recording from FireFox. BECAUSE I ALREADY DISABLED THE ADD-ON in FireFoxes menu.
    Solution:
    Step 1: Adobe needs to update all the computers with the previous flash player. That way we can choose to enable the previous flash player in our FireFox. or wait until a new update fixes the problem with firefox.
    Step 2: Adobe & FireFox need to get together & go back to the drawing board. They need to create a update that actually works on computers that have Real Player installed on them. I don't care which company does the update. All I care about is if it works. Thank You.
    Oh yea, Im running FireFox 13.0.1, Windows 7, HP computer, Real Player is up to date.

    Hey Chris,
    I was able to duplicate this issue on my Windows 7 laptop as follows:
         1)  Completely uninstall FlashPlayer (using your tool) as well as Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Maintenance Service (used Windows 7 - uninstall from Control Panel).  Please note that I checked the box that said "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" to ensure that Firefox was completely gone from my laptop.
         2)  I then went out to the Firefox website and downloaded the "Firefox Setup 13.0.1.exe" app to my laptop.  I ran this app to install Firefox.
         3)  I then went to the following website http://www.ishmael.org.uk/karaoke02.php as I know that this URL uses Flash Player (obviously you can go to any URL that uses Flash Player - I'm just letting you know which one I used).  I then clicked on the icon on this page to install Flash Player.
    Once the install was completed, the URL stops responding and appears to be locked up (although it will occassionally hiccup and display portions of the page and then lock up again).  You will eventually get a pop-up notice from Firefox that has the header "Warning:  Unresponsive script" and says the following: 
         A script on this page may be busy or it may have stopped responding.  You can stop the script now, or you can continue to to see of the script will complete.  Script:  chrome://browser/content/browser.js:6551 
    Selecting "Stop script" will get Firefox working until you hit another page that uses Flash Player.
    To ensure that the above URL is not the culprit, I used one from your website http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html and had the same results.
    Hope this info helps!
    Jeff
    NOTE:  As a reminder, I do not have RealPlayer installed on my laptop (and never have had it installed)

    Derek,IE11 is having some compatibility issues with the share point.Apart from IE11,it should work on IE10,9 and Firefox and chrome as well.
    Please check the links below that explains the issues with IE11 and the functionality of Drag and drop and limitations as-well.
    1.Since SharePoint 2013 fully support IE 32-bit version above 7, there might be compatibility issue with other browsers. I’d recommend you use IE 8,9,10 32-bit for optimal Performance.
    2. Open the same document library in Internet Explorer as this functions does not work with Firefox or Chrome by default
    3. Make sure the IE (Internet Explorer) Version should be 32-bit and not a 64-bit

  • The volume keys on my Logitech K760 wireless keyboard do not work with my 2.3 GHz, Intel Core i5 Mac mini which runs Mac OS X 10.7.4. Anyone know how to correct this without having to re-code firmware?

    My first post to the Apple Support Community so it looks like all I wanted to know is covered in the title. The research I have done led me to solutions that I am not comfortable trying for fear of irreparably damaging my keyboard and/or Mac mini. Does anyone have a simpler solution? Please? Hellooooo?
    Just in case the title is too long to show, I have re-pasted here:

    Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to work the above applications. I thought that i had managed to assign the appropriate function keys in Spark to their volume counterparts, but it had no effect. Below is a screen shot. Do you see anything amiss?

  • Photoshop CS5 not working with Lucida Grande Regular font

    On my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz, I am running OS 10.6.7.
    When using Photoshop CS5, if I try to use the font, Lucida Grande Regular, it causes an error.
    "Could not use the type tool because of a program error."
    When I try to open an existing file that has type layers that include the font Lucida Grande Regular, Photoshop will not open the file. I have several of these files that I want to use. I can open them on another Macintosh and everything works fine.
    First I get a message window that says, " Some text layers might need to be updated before they can be used for vector based output. Do you want to update these layers now?" I click on update and then get the following message. "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
    I have updated Photoshop CS5 to the latest version, 12.0.4.
    I have run the FontTest.jsx script and it shows an error for Lucida Grande Regular.
    (IOError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop.
    - <no additional information available>)
    The other 100+ fonts on my machine did not create errors.
    Since Lucida Grande Regular is an essential font for Mac OS X, I re-installed OS 10.6 in order to have a new version of Lucida Grande Regular. After that re-install I am having the same problems with the font not working in Photoshop.
    It also does not work with Adobe InDesign CS5. The font does work in Microsoft Word.
    The program Font Book verifies Lucida Grande Regular.
    Other fonts including, Lucida Grande Bold, work fine in Photoshop and InDesign.
    What can I do to get Photoshop CS5 to work with Lucida Grande Regular?

    Wow, I'm so glad I found this thread. This problem has been dogging me for years, and it's so sporadic that I've been afraid of breathing the wrong way lest I somehow incur that diabolical Program Error dialog. I'd managed to reach a truce with Photoshop CS5, getting it into a barely working state, and avoiding all updates... until Lion came along today. Then I updated to CS5 12.0.4, and the Program Errors were back again.
    Now I see that the problem does seem to be related to the Lucida Grande font. If there's a layer with that font in it, not only can I not edit that text, but I can't marquee select anything, nor drag any shapes. Deleting caches and massaging fonts are completely ineffectual measures... but if I delete the Lucida layers entirely, we're back in business.
    At least so far.
    Funny to think that of all the innovations I'd like to see Photoshop adopt, the fixing of this one issue is the thing I'd like to see most. I'll be keeping my eye on this thread, and any updates by Mr. Cox.
