Gustavo,

My name is Ken Anderson and I am working with Jeremy on iNSpect. I am 
writing you to let you know the changes we're making to iNSpect as a 
result of this conversation.

The first change we made is to implement scaling in iNSpect again. This 
should help us move toward a program that can accurately guess the 
display parameters. Once autoscaling is complete, iNSpect will use 
default values until it finds them to be incorrect, and then try to 
correct itself during runtime.

Another change I made was a minor bugfix where the usage text didn't 
display when it should. Now it does.

Finally, I am now working on removing the configuration file requirement 
for iNSpect. Instead, the default values will be used whenever a 
configuration is not supplied. A custom configuration file can still be 
loaded by attaching -c <configuration file> argument. I expect this to 
be done early next week.

We are very happy to hear all the feedback and concerns you may have 
about iNSpect. Feedback like we've seen here helps us focus on what's 
important regarding iNSpect.

Sincerely,
Ken Anderson
