In a word, I'm not starting the revolution right now, but quite a lot has changed anyhow. RealView continues to expand in its capabilities without sacrificing performance or ease of use.
What's New in this version?
• Minor bug fix: Fixed a bug that caused windows to appear as narrow slots if no printer was selected in the chooser.
• Save: Added 'Save' item. Changes you make to RealView documents can be saved.
• Save Text attributes: If the file contains Text attributes (such as Font, Size, Style etc...) then RealView will save that information also.
• HTML: Added a conversion filter to remove HTML tags.
• Pictures: RealView can now display picture files.
• Embedded Pictures: RealView can now display pictures embedded in text files.
What's Planned for RealView 2.5?
• Better HTML: RealView 2.5 will enable you to view HTML files as styled text.
• More File types: RealView 2.5 will Support additional file types in the 'Original' mode.
• PowerPC users: If you wish for RealView 2.5 to be PowerPC native you might consider REGISTERING so I'll be able to afford a PowerPC compiler.
