- ------------
-
- This desk accessory is a fix for the bug in the operating system version
- 1.04 (Rainbow TOS) and some subsequent versions. This bug has the effect of
- sometimes interpreting single mouse clicks as two clicks. For example, if
- you click on the grey part of the scroll bar, the screen may scroll twice.
- SCRIBE contains code which should overcome this problem, so the desk
- accessory should not be needed. However if you do experience the problem,
- put SCROLFIX.ACC in the root directory of your boot disk and re-boot the
- computer.
- Full information is given in the author's text file provided with the
- accessory. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the author for
- providing this useful PD utility.

- DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
- -------------------
-
- Version 1.0
- -----------
-
- The first version, released 21 Jan 1993.
-
- Version 1.01
- ------------
-
- Released 23 Jan 1993.
-
- * Correction made to search routine, which previously left the screen blank
- if the search was unsuccessful.
-
- * After exiting from version 1.0 you could not access the menu bar of other
- GEM programs without re-booting. This was due to the accidental deletion of
- a wind_update(2) command in the exit routine. This has now been restored.
-
- Version 1.02
- ------------
-
- Released 9 Feb 1993
-
- * Previous versions crashed if GDOS was loaded. This is now corrected.
-
- * Should now work with Reflex board and TT medium resolution.
-
- * The window can now be sized, moved and topped.
-
- * The item 'List documents' under the utilities menu has now been
- incorporated into 'Select document' under the 'Search' menu. This item now
- has the same look and feel as 'Select clipboard'. 'List documents' has been
- deleted from the menu.
-
- * Menu text was incorporated in the body of the program. Now included in
- the resource file.
-
- * Sub-version number now displayed in the window title line.
-

- to Alt-Z.
-
- * Some changes made to scrolling and scroll bar calculations.

-
- * With TOS V1.04 and later versions a description of the current operation
- is displayed in the file selector.
-
- * All functions are disabled when the SCRIBE window is not the top window
- (a necessary requirement for multi-tasking).
-
- * Main manual partially updated.
