- Hi folks ...
-
- I am crossposting this mail in sevral conferences,
- (also in some german conferences, I you don't understand english ... sorry)
- because I am currently not in the mood answering sevral mails a day
- with one question:
-
- --> What is the current version of THEDRAW ? <--
-
- Well It's not 4.30, 5.00, 6.00, and today I even recieved a 6.01 version
- with a claimed "bug-fix".
-
- The official version of the draw is now 4.51, and was released at Zone2
- AnsiNet headquartars a minute ago:
-
- TDRAW451 ZIP 270013 15.04.92 0:00 Ansi-Artworks Program *BUGFIX RELEASE*
-
- You can request this file at any AnsiNet system in Zone2, or here at

- ===========================================================================
- Yesterday, I received an upgrade notice from TheSoft Programming Services,
- announcing the latest release of THEDRAW (Version 4.50). For the benefit
- of ANSI ART Echo members, here is a reprint of that notice:
- ===========================================================================
-
- TheDraw v4.50 is now available!
-
- This latest release adds greatly to previous versions. The newest
- features include ANSI/ASCII Fonts, vastly improved Undo/Restore support,
- some revisions to the user interface, and several bug fixes. The
- animation scan menu now offers a direction "flip" toggle. Flipping an
- animation scan exchanges the vertical coordinates top-to-bottom. Anyone
- familiar with reversed scans will find this a valuable addition.
- Combining these animation options yields almost 60 different possible
- patterns.
-
- The last two releases of TheDraw (v.4.00 and v.4.01) have been subject
- to illegal modifications by certain individuals. Long time users may
- be aware of copies reading as versions 4.30, 5.00 or 6.00). These are
- merely the previous releases with altered version numbers. Important
- areas in TheDraw are now encrypted to discourage further "hacking."
-
- Annoyance problems with ANSI and QuickBasic file formats have been
- resolved. Validity of file formats have been resolved. Minor glitches
- with screen refresh and general program operation were fixed.
-
- To upgrade to version 4.50, simply mail this card to the address below
- along with $7.00 ($5 upgrade fee plus $2 shipping/handling). Please do
- not send your current registered diskette with this offer (as normally
- requested).
-
- NOTE: Do not send this upgrade request if you registered after
- February 1st, 1992. You will soon receive a free upgrade to v4.50.
