When you maximize the window, the position of the Fingerprint button doesn't adjust; the Help function still scrolls the first two screenfuls together without a break, so that the first screenful is impossible to read; not sure how, but the first time I tried it, it locked up and couldn't close (needed a three-finger salute). This is under WindowsME on a vintage 1998 266MHz Pentium II. I'd like to try it out but it and I got off to a very bad start. Sorry for all the bad news.

[Flac-users] Re: troubles with 1.0.3 beta4's front-end
Josh, as always, thank you for your prompt answers. | > Was there a problem or wasn't there? | | Depends if you need the 'list' subchunk. It is WAVE metadata, | not audio, and FLAC only stores 'fmt ' and uncompressed PCM audio | 'data' subchunks. I need to do a FAQ and this would be on it but | look for my response in this thread: | | http://forums.FurthurNET.com/viewtopic.php?t=4213&start=34 Great, yet more places to go to get the full story. Plus, every time there's a web-based discussion area, it means learning another type of BBS software. That's one of the advantages of mailing lists: you read them all the same way and you post to them all the same way. So the skipped sub-chunk was insignificant, yet FLAC still gave me a dire warning about it and claimed to have done an incomplete job of encoding the audio. The sky wasn't falling; there wasn't even any rain. It's more as if the tide were coming in while we were up in the hills. After going from WAV -> FLAC with warnings -> WAV, EAC said the two WAVs were identical. The metadata had to be different, because FLAC had discarded some of it, so I guess EAC compares only the audio data. I could try comparing them as raw files, but I deleted the extra copies. | The FLAC Frontend is not actually part of the FLAC project; | it's done by an independent developer.

Ah well; thank you for the pointer, Josh. David
