Scriptor v0.73 problems!

Seems that descriptor is goofing up construction units and factories in a minor way -- I have to manually edit the BOS so Scriptor can COB them correctly. Here's what it's doing:
set ( get INBUILDSTANCE ) to 1;

instead of:
set INBUILDSTANCE to 1;
like it should be!

You will have to MANUALLY EDIT scripts to change them, or use EDIT,REPLACE in WORDPAD and exchange this:
"set"
for this originally:
"set ( get"

Also, to exchange this:
"to"
for this originally:
") to"


The stop-spin bug in Scriptor also does NOT support deccelerate (which is found on armmex, cormex, armmoho cormoho), Descriptor reads the original COB's correctly, but Scriptor cannot create a working script from the BOS file that Descriptor creates!

I couldn't get the Hover transport scripts (ARMTHOVR and CORTHOVR) to compile correctly either, for some unknown reasons. ARMGEO.BOS wouldn't compile into a COB because one of its 3do pieces is called "smoke" -- which confuses Scritor.

DeScriptor seems to have descripted the multiple transport scripts correctly, which is a MAJOR accomplishment in itself. Recompiling causes problems for obvious reasons, but the script APPEARS to have a couple divide-by-zero errors!

Since the stop-spin doesn't work properly, use the spin command as well with speed <0> (and acceleration NEGATIVE if desired.)

Here's an example of how to get around this problem:
ORIGINAL LINE:	stop-spin extractor around y-axis decelerate <1>;
WORKAROUND LINE:	spin extractor around y-axis speed <0> accelerate <-1>;

I thought you might have dropped dead or lost your email account. Such is not unheard of... Real life can be a little TOO interesting at times.

Hey, I've been a 1-man advertisement for your great program -- but I am wondering if you plan to update your website, and maybe include your latest Scriptor version up there as a "beta". That way I wouldn't be stuck trying to email or DCC it to everyone. Currently, I think I've sent it to ~20 people -- I'm sure some have replied back to you...
