:NOTE: Release of Oct 1995 The price of VPUBLISH is now $24, as CYBRTEXT is now available. You can register VPUBLISH online at GO SWREG on C-Serve, reg. number 7879. I'm now online at 102547.3334@COMPUSERVE.COM. VmASC is now much improved over the version that is here as VBACKG however I haven't heard from anyone about it so I won't bother upgrading VBACKG. VmASC is on C-Serve in the IBMAPP forum, and is registrable under # 7877. I'm concentrating my energies on graphics software and a game, and may find time to make CYBRTEXT Windows-ready. I'll still be available to help with VPUBLISH (which will have its niche for some time yet) and do any upgrades that seem indicated. NUVAREAD is greatly enhanced now, and is also available on C-SERVE as NUVREAD2. Its registration number is 7878. Incidentally, VPUBLISH turns out to work on a network while CYBRTEXT doesn't. I am contemplating a new version of CYBRTEXT which will be networkable. ----------------------------------------------------------- :NOTE RE: RELEASE of FEB 22 1995 The package now also contains VMNUBLD2.EXE which is the menu builder to go with the enhanced menu. Load a DOS mouse driver before attempting the new VBACKG utility. The menu now handles the extended character set (it didn't, before. However a Quebec user complained so I rewrote it to handle the extended characters. It was a fundamental rewrite... ) You will also discover a package on disc (if an on disc release) called NUVAREAD. This is a greatly enhanced version of VAREAD which is specifically oriented towards document distribution. Check it out! Note - I could easily add shell and hypertext to NUVAREAD if anyone is interested! :NOTE RE: RELEASE OF Feb 7 1995 ----------------------------------------------------- Check out VSAMPLE2 on this disc, which shows how the new VPUBLISH will allow a custom background for the menu. (To be released mid Feb 95) (Note VSAMPLE2 is a beta test sample menu, so it has not been fully tested.) There also will be a test release which allows different CFG files to be loaded. :NOTES RE: RELEASE of Feb 1 1995 ----------------------------------------------------- A different version was released on Compuserve on Feb 1 95. This package contains files that were specifically added to enrich the Canadian Remote Systems (CRS) release. They are now in the Compuserve package as well. ------------------------------------------------------------ :UPCOMING RELEASE: In mid to late Feb 1995 a new release will contain an optional, self-designed mini menu and a COMPUSERVE account number or EMAIL address to contact the author directly. (as of Feb 22 - the mini menu is on hold while I finish CYBRTEXT. I hope to have saved enough money to get my WINDOWS compiler running on my machine and make CYBRTEXT Windows- compatible, by early March. Financial constraints now make it necessary that I do no further work on electronic publishing software after that unless I get some sales.) -P.Mihok, VMV Software - 5694-4 Hwy 7E Markham Ont.
