- FormEd 2.87¹ Release Note
- ---------------------------
-
-
- Included in this archive is the distribution release of FormEd v2.87¹. It
- contains the following files :
-
-
- !!Release : This release note.
- !FormEd : FormEd - the window editor. v2.87¹ (20-Nov-92).
- !SysMerge : The !System merger application by Acorn Computers Ltd.
- !System : Support !System directory containing :
- MessageTrans v0.06
- MouseFixer v0.04
-
-
- This has been released due to popular (sic) demand, or more precisely, the
- volume of letters received requesting updates. Well, here it is. Dont say
- I didnt warn you...
-
- A list of improvements made to this version is detailed in the !Updates file
- contained within the !FormEd application. It is usually worth reading.
- Further information is contained within FormEd's !Help file - including a
- slightly outdated list of bugs.
-
- Some points to be wary of :
- ---------------------------
-
- * FormEd doesn't like vast numbers of outline fonts. It doesnt have space
- for them. This will be fixed "real soon now".
-
- * Users with RISCOS 3 may notice some strange things occuring to the
- applications window sizes (NOT the ones created). Do not fret. This is
- not serious, and is merely another example of Acorn changing things
- without telling anybody...
-
- * The "export across windows" icon copy facility will place the icons in
- the same location of the destination window as they were in the original.
- Sorry! - again, fixed "real soon now".
-
- * The sprite loading/display functions behave oddly on occasions. This
- code is part of the last living remnant of Acorn involvement with the
- program, and will be replaced with some more efficient.
-
-
-
- FormEd is currently being rewritten from scratch, and a #much# improved
- version is expected to surface at Easter '93. Please wait patiently.
- Acorn registered ISVs and dealers who contact us can arrange to have
- updates sent to them automatically. Normal (bog-standard) users can
- receive updated versions by sending a first-class SAE, a blank disc, and
- a suitable bribe - we will retain them until the next update becomes
- available (unless otherwise requested).
-
-
- Updates/Bug reports/General letters should be addressed to The RISC Squad,
- care of 17 Ellis Road, Bedford, MK41 9DW.

- The RISC Squad wish to gratefully acknowledge the work of Al Knight &
- Dave Evans, who have consented to the distribution of their work within this
- update. Thanks guys - youre angels in disguise!
