To develope scripts I proceed like this:
First I'm writing a maximum in the page script, as it is the only way to find out also minor syntax errors. Then everything, that belongs to the activity scope will be moved to the activity script.

With the new library functionality (that I appreciate very much, as it allows a very easy code update and libraries can be crypted) even more code has to be placed in the activity scope.

The negative side is debugging libraries. In several times it is even necessary to remove part of code from a library to find out the source of problems. Even caracters in the comment (like the german Umlaut 'ü') will stop running a library.
In bigger projects it takes me hours to make libraries running.

Last time, I thought everything is finished. Simulator works, download to my 9600 test model works, stability is ok. One more download and test with the 9800: BANG...

Are there some known incompatibilities between 9600 and 9800 apart of the additional buttons?

You did not mention what firmware is installed on each of the remotes.

Oh Lyndel, I think you are always right.

I thought that both were on the same newest version. But with your remark I've checked it....

Now the xcf is also running on the 9800. :)

Not always. I do make mistakes as I, too, am human.

I once made a mistake, back in 1962 I thought I was wrong about something, but I wasn't ...(;-)

Such characters are allowed, but the library file must use UTF-8 encoding. If your text editor uses ISO-8859 or Windows CP-1252 encoding, such characters will form an invalid UTF-8 sequence.

A tool for converting non-UTF8 files to UTF8 can be found at:

Thanks Sogliphy, but how is the practical way to use this converter? After editing a script it is rather circumstantial to run a converting tool before testing it with the simulator or downloading it.

The text editors I use either use UTF-8 encoding by default, or have been configured to do so. So I only need such a conversion tool if importing a script fragment which is not in UTF-8.
