- Additional Notes to Accompany Version 3.00 (06-Jun-1993)
- ========================================================

- !!!! P L E A S E N O T E !!!!
- ==============================
-
- !EPSobject is - N O T - a Postscript Interpreter.
-
- It can convert EPS files from AI or Corel-Draw 2.xx/3.xx formats (or from
- programs using these formats) but is not guaranteed to work with other EPS
- formats.
-
- ---
- Text rotation is fully implemented in this version but the benefits will
- only be apparent when the generated files are viewed with vector graphic
- programs utilising the Font Manager accompanying RISC OS 3.xx .
- !Draw version 0.88 and of course Artworks and Vector have been shown to
- successfully display converted files containing rotated text.
-
- [Some intermediate versions of !EPSobject were produced but not released as
- it has now been decided to support *only* RISC OS 3 in future because of the
- difficulties involved in text manipulation with the Font Manager used prior
- to RISC OS 3.00.]
-
- If you still use RISC OS 2 then you should replace the !Run file with
- the enclosed !RunRO2 file (ie. delete !Run and rename !RunRO2 to !Run)¹.
- After conversion with !EPSobject 3.00, the resulting Draw files will not
- display the standard fonts correctly if these make use of the
- additional facilities offered only under the RISC OS 3 Font Manager.
- However the draw files *will* be correctly translated so that if/when you
- do upgrade, a new conversion of the EPS files will be uneccessary.
-
- ¹ NB. DO NOT distribute in this form !!
-
- ---
-
- Additionally, a few minor 'bug fixes' and improvements have been made in
- this version.
-
- ---
-
- Example files are no longer distributed together with the program as these
- have not changed from previous versions. You should, however, be able to
- obtain them seperately from the same place you received !EPSobject (possibly
- as a Sparkive called simply 'EPSfiles').
