PhotoGrid X1.0b7 release note

Aug, 2001 NattaWorks

This is the public beta release of Carbonized version of PhotoGrid that runs natively on MacOS X. "Beta version" means it is for testing (and unstable).
This release is primarily for the PhotoGrid users of previous non-X versions and has no detailed documentation. If you want a manual, get the no-X version of PhotoGrid2.x. To make it sure, I just repeat, "Use it at your own risk."

This carbonized version also runs on MacOS 8.x/9.x that has an appropriate version of CarbonLib, but I don't recommend it. Note that PhotoGrid 2.02 (the latest non-X version) supports the Classic environment of MacOS X and is full functional.

I'd appreciate if you would report me bugs and unstable behavior of this beta version. Send an email to NattaWorks@Kagi.com. I myself don't use MacOS X on everyday basis yet, you may suggest the common behavior of MacOS X's applications that PhotoGridX misses.
