A SHAREWARE PLEA
----------------
I don't want to bore you, but please honour your Shareware obligation: if
you like this program, and want to keep on using it, please send me ten
pounds to register your copy (12 pounds if outside the UK). In return I'll
send you a nicely printed manual and the latest version of SCRIBE. I'll
also keep you informed of any new updates. Thank you in advance.

SCROLFIX.ACC
------------
This desk accessory is a fix for the bug in the operating system version
1.04 (Rainbow TOS) and some subsequent versions. This bug has the effect of
sometimes interpreting single mouse clicks as two clicks. For example, if
you click on the grey part of the scroll bar, the screen may scroll twice.
SCRIBE contains code which should overcome this problem, so the desk
accessory should not be needed. However if you do experience the problem,
put SCROLFIX.ACC in the root directory of your boot disk and re-boot the
computer.
Full information is given in the author's text file provided with the
accessory. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the author for
providing this useful PD utility.
DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
-------------------
Version 1.0
-----------
The first version, released 21 Jan 1993.
Version 1.01
------------
Released 23 Jan 1993.
* Correction made to search routine, which previously left the screen blank
if the search was unsuccessful.
* After exiting from version 1.0 you could not access the menu bar of other
GEM programs without re-booting. This was due to the accidental deletion of
a wind_update(2) command in the exit routine. This has now been restored.
Version 1.02
------------
Released 9 Feb 1993
* Previous versions crashed if GDOS was loaded. This is now corrected.
* Should now work with Reflex board and TT medium resolution.
* The window can now be sized, moved and topped.
* The item 'List documents' under the utilities menu has now been
incorporated into 'Select document' under the 'Search' menu. This item now
has the same look and feel as 'Select clipboard'. 'List documents' has been
deleted from the menu.
* Menu text was incorporated in the body of the program. Now included in
the resource file.
* Sub-version number now displayed in the window title line.
* Keyboard alternative for the 'About...' menu item was wrong. Now changed
to Alt-Z.
* Some changes made to scrolling and scroll bar calculations.
* Colour registers are restored to their previous values on exit.
* Minor word-wrapping bug fixed.
* With TOS V1.04 and later versions a description of the current operation
is displayed in the file selector.
* All functions are disabled when the SCRIBE window is not the top window
(a necessary requirement for multi-tasking).
* Main manual partially updated.
