- MixMan Versions History
-
- Version 1.0 [ 14-Dec-1995 ]
- First version of MixMan. It has text, hex and palette file viewers.
- It allows extracting and replacing of files.
-
- Version 2.0 [ 22-Dec-1995 ]
- A map viewer has been added, together with SVGA support. A last column has
- also been added to display the offsets.
-
- Version 2.1 [ 05-Jan-1996 ]
- A bug has been corrected that prevented the last file in the MIX to be
- replaced correctly. I/O error checking has been added in many places so
- that an error while extracting or replacing a file will no longer generate
- a runtime error.
-
- Version 2.2 [ 12-Jan-1996 ]
- Corrects another bug in the replace routine. Also gives default extension
- .BIN to map files.
- I tought I'd never release this version, but I had to, because it took me
- a long time to finish version 3.
