- No. A revised manual will be available around the time of the 3.1
- release, but it will not be free. You will be able to buy it separately
- for a nominal charge should you want it, and we'll probably include a
- revised manual with the next paid upgrade.

- You have received more than a few extras. Here are some of the free
- features we've added that were not in the original specification:
-
- 1. PICT import/export filter (new in 3.0i)
- 2. reshape grid objects with Reshape tool (new in 3.0i)
- 3. full CyberGfx support for 24 bit DTP (new in 3.0i)
- 4. Epson Stylus color driver (new in 3.0i)
- 5. Improved Tabs requester (new in 3.0i).
- 6. Improved Set Guides requester (new in 3.0i).
- 7. Insert Signature block macro script.
- 8. Do math in text gadgets.
- 9. Improved Edit palette Character mode (added popups for type size
- and width)
- 10. Added more preset type sizes and widths to the Font requester
- scrolling lists.
- 11. Added four more default page sizes for envelopes and compact
- discs.
- 12. Mail merge macro script.
- 13. Print Font Specimens macro script.
- 14. Place Graphic At macro script.
- 15. Emboss effect module.
- 16. Sharpen effect module.
- 17. Many (dozens?) of new arexx commands.
-
- If we had finished 3.0 back when it was done, we could have charged
- for all of these features and the many other little improvements in
- two $25 paid upgrades by now. Yes, it's been a long time getting it
- done, but you've also got a lot more free. And you're going to get a
- lot more free in the 3.1 update as well.
