The "After the manual was printed..." remarks:
----------------------------------------------
Some added features:
--------------------
- To jump to any other page in your script while running, you may
enter the number of page you want to go to on the keyboard followed
by enter or return.
ex: To go to page 19, simply press 19 and <enter>.
- We decided to put a small dot in place of the @ letter, to make
it easier to set up "text bullets".
- 6 new page transitions and 9 new text transitions were added,
all using the "ease in" technique.
- On the first font disk, we added a sample script which shows all
the different fonts available in Scala. Also, we added a number
of "pictograms"; small symbols with trains, food and so forth.
Finally, we added 2 types of arrows in 8 different directions, and
35 different palettes which all work with all the Scala
Backgrounds.
Some known quirks:
------------------
- Using a different front color on a symbol than 1 (white)
will make the symbol disappear while using a fly-on wipe.
There are some solutions to this inconvenience:
a)Use color 1 for the symbol if you want to use a fly-on effect
b)Use a wipe effect instead
c)Save it in DPaint as a regular multi-color brush.
- Trying to use damaged IFF files (BAD FORM) will currently cause
a system crash. If you have problems with a particular file, try
loading and saving it again in your favourite paint package.
- While starting Scala from the CLI, you must be in the Scala
directory - or Scala will not be able to find it's dear and
necessary companion, ScalaPlayer. Use the CD command for this.
- The 12 point GoudyB mentioned in the manual (and used in our
sample font script) did unfortunately not make it to the master
disk.
- Using interactive buttons under WB 2.0 will not behave properly,
due to a bug in Kickstart 2.0. You will have to click below the
buttons in order to hit them. We hope Commodore will fix this
before the release of the final 2.0 version.
The Scala BBS Service:
----------------------
If you are a modem user, why don't you call our Scala User
Bulletin Board System located at the MediaFoto BBS in Oslo,
Norway. If you're a registered user, we will give you access to
the conference after your first logon.
The BBS service is set up for users to bring in suggestions for
new Scala features and the various experiences of your use of the
program. New releases of the program will also be obtainable from
here. The number is + 47 2 17 60 56. Welcome!
