-
- TYPE 2,12,4,30,NONE,Well, the news seem to change faster than I am
- TYPE 2,12,4,40,NONE,able to keep this text updated. First, I was only
- TYPE 2,12,4,50,NONE,going to let you have an updated GRAAL_2 beta 2
- TYPE 2,12,4,60,NONE,driver with this release of the Herald. However, I
- TYPE 2,12,4,70,NONE,just put some truly useful new features into the
- TYPE 2,12,4,80,NONE,editor, so I'll be nice - you get a beta 2 editor
- TYPE 2,12,4,90,NONE,as well! Read the "editor.txt" file for more info.
- TYPE 2,12,4,105,NONE,E-mail me if you find anything strange, and please
- TYPE 2,12,4,115,NONE,include generous portions of the failing GRAAL
- TYPE 2,12,4,125,NONE,scripts. I probably need the whole graal.main and
- TYPE 2,12,4,135,NONE,currently active .section and .room scripts, too.

- TYPE 4,1,4,10,SHADOW2,The Friendly Editor
-
- TYPE 2,12,4,30,NONE,If you're anything like me, you have a heck of a
- TYPE 2,12,4,40,NONE,time keeping track of all room and scene script
- TYPE 2,12,4,50,NONE,numbers. Well, starting with the beta 2 editor,
- TYPE 2,12,4,60,NONE,you don't have to anymore! If you put a description
- TYPE 2,12,4,70,NONE,in the first line of each script, these comments
- TYPE 2,12,4,80,NONE,are shown in the new "load script" requesters!
- TYPE 2,12,4,95,NONE,Also, when creating a new script the editor finds
- TYPE 2,12,4,105,NONE,a suitable, unused number and recommends it to you.
- TYPE 2,12,4,115,NONE,It all works equally well with WB 2 and WB 3, unlike
- TYPE 2,12,4,125,NONE,the previously used file requester filters.
- TYPE 2,12,4,140,NONE,Oh yes, and the "graal.main" file is now loaded
- TYPE 2,12,4,150,NONE,without asking for its name a second time...
- TYPE 2,12,4,160,NONE,Quite natural when you think about it, really!

- TYPE 4,1,4,10,SHADOW2,Some Bug Fix Effects...
-
- TYPE 2,12,4,30,NONE,SHOW and HIDE for some objects didn't work too well
- TYPE 2,12,4,40,NONE,before - sometimes objects disappeared from rooms
- TYPE 2,12,4,50,NONE,on re-visit, even if they should have been there!
- TYPE 2,12,4,65,NONE,So, if you find objects appearing that you didn't
- TYPE 2,12,4,75,NONE,see before, it's because now they behave more
- TYPE 2,12,4,85,NONE,consistently - you have just forgot to HIDE them
- TYPE 2,12,4,95,NONE,properly, and the old GRAAL kindly did it for you,
- TYPE 2,12,4,105,NONE,although it shouldn't have!

- TYPE 4,1,4,10,SHADOW2,The Great Bug Safari
-
- TYPE 2,12,4,30,NONE,Check out the file "GRAAL_2_bugs.txt" to read about
- TYPE 2,12,4,40,NONE,the current status of the bug hunt, and exactly what
- TYPE 2,12,4,50,NONE,has been done in the GRAAL_2 beta 2 driver, which
- TYPE 2,12,4,60,NONE,you are currently running. It also contains bug and
- TYPE 2,12,4,70,NONE,change info for the Editor.

- TYPE 4,1,4,10,SHADOW2,Editor+Amigaguide=True
-
- TYPE 2,12,4,30,NONE,If the Editor goes into an endless loop on startup,
- TYPE 2,12,4,40,NONE,sitting there eating eight bytes at a time of your
- TYPE 2,12,4,50,NONE,memory but doing precious little else, it's because
- TYPE 2,12,4,60,NONE,it feels lonely. No, really. It now must have
- TYPE 2,12,4,70,NONE,amigaguide.library in your LIBS: drawer to feel
- TYPE 2,12,4,80,NONE,happy.
- TYPE 2,12,4,95,NONE,Fortunately, amigaguide is available off aminet
- TYPE 2,12,4,105,NONE,(text/hyper/aguide34.lha), so that shouldn't
- TYPE 2,12,4,115,NONE,be too much of a problem.

- TYPE 4,1,4,10,SHADOW2,THE FUTURE
-
- TYPE 2,12,4,30,NONE,Well, the bug hunt goes on... Because I also have
- TYPE 2,12,4,40,NONE,to work (and quite a lot) for my living, I probably
- TYPE 2,12,4,50,NONE,won't release GRAAL 2.0 before the beginning of next
- TYPE 2,12,4,60,NONE,year. By then, both driver and editor should be
- TYPE 2,12,4,70,NONE,fairly stable, and I also strive to make the command
- TYPE 2,12,4,80,NONE,syntax in the reference match the one used in the
- TYPE 2,12,4,90,NONE,editor. Sort of a nice gesture when the help is
- TYPE 2,12,4,100,NONE,synchronized and all... :)
- TYPE 2,12,4,115,NONE,So, hope the GRAAL_2 beta 2 driver ties you over
- TYPE 2,12,4,125,NONE,until the complete 2.0 update comes along. Merry
- TYPE 2,12,4,135,NONE,Christmas and so forth to you all!
- TYPE 2,12,4,150,NONE,Best of luck with your GRAAL adventuring,
- TYPE 2,1,4,165,NONE,Per
