- ANNOUNCEMENT --- ASCREEN 3.2
- ============================
-
- I'm pleased to announce that the newest version of ASCREEN, the DVI
- previewer for Atari computers, is now available for anonymous FTP.
- Enhancements in this version include
-
- - Fixes for various bugs in font handling, screen management and GEM
- support. In particular, the bothersome bug concerning slashes in IMG
- file names and the other bothersome bug concerning auto-repeat scroll
- arrows have been removed.
- - Facing pages can be shrunk and displayed together. A unique
- `recto-verso mode' lets you page forward and back by two pages like in a
- book.
- - Extended keyboard commands for shrinking pages, setting the shrink factor,
- and closing windows without having to use the mouse.
- - Extended dialog boxes; many settings that required editing the setup file
- can now be performed from within the program.
- - Better handling of various error conditions.
- - Support for CSG level 2 graphics and tpic \specials (mostly).
- - German manual included (sorry folks, German only)
- - Besides an example (in C) for `remote control' of ASCREEN, the
- distribution contains `FontList', a program which lists the fonts
- used in a document. The source code for this program is included, too.
-
- You may get and use ASCREEN for free. You may also redistribute the
- program, as long as you don't make any money off it or pretend that you
- wrote it.
-
- ASCREEN 3.2 is available for anonymous FTP from
- ftp.math.uni-frankfurt.de [141.2.90.2], directory pub/atari:
-
- ascr32.zoo - software, examples, Readme file etc.
- ascr32dv.zoo - DVI file for (German) user manual
- ascr32tx.zoo - TeX source code for the manual
-
- (The manual is quite big, and I have separated it from the main
- distribution so people who don't read German don't have to fetch it
- anyhow. There is a short English introduction in ENGINTRO.TXT.) Some
- other goodies, e. g., ready-made FLIB files with the most important
- LaTeX fonts and AMSFonts, may be retrieved from there as well.
-
- *Please note that this site is in Germany, Europe, and retrieve the
- software only at off-peak times, that is, 1800-0800 hours CET
- (UT+0100), or during the weekend.*
-
- There is a mailing list for announcements, bug reports, comments,
- questions and general discussion about ASCREEN; send mail to
- `ascreen-request@math.uni-frankfurt.de' to subscribe or to find out
- more.
