RIP Sketch Revision History
Version 1.10
------------
RIP Sketch now has load and save file boxes, making it possible to load and
save with just the mouse.
RIP Sketch now has screen preparation options in the save box.
The memory management system of RIP Sketch has been completely re-written.
It will now load RIP files of 100Kb or larger, and accessing memory will be
faster than it was before.
You can now use the edit button to view and remove anything previously
drawn in the RIP scene.
RIP Sketch now has an option to show the mouse X and Y coordinates when
in the drawing screen.
RIP Sketch now has a zoom option to see what is around the mouse cursor
close up.
RIP Sketch now supports creating and displaying buttons, with many options.
A RIP 1.54 compatible filled poly-bezier option has replaced the flood
fill option, because the RIPscrip 2.0 standard will not support flood fills.
This option works much like the filled polygon option, except that the
space bar or middle mouse button toggles the bezier functions on and off.
Added the /F option for those who really want flood fills instead of a
filled poly-bezier.
Fixed the problem of undoing the clipboard when it was defined more than
once in the RIP scene.
The clipboard now can be created larger than it was previously.
Fixed a problem of saving the clipboard to disk as an icon.
Added support for text variables. RIP Sketch will now display some RIP
text variables in display text fields and button labels.
Fixed a cosmetic bug with the RGB selection bars.
Fixed problem with the copy up/down command with it being one pixel off
when copying down.
There is now a whirling cursor when entering text, making it easier to
see that text needs to be entered.
The RIPscrip lines will not be split up as much when saving files.
Fixed the problem of the RIP sound effects playing too fast on fast computers.
RIP Sketch will now use more efficient RIP code for the RIP sound effects.
The /C switch has changed slightly. It will now resize the entire RIP file.
Not using this switch will cause RIP Sketch to reduce the size of some RIP
files, making them more efficient.
When changing a user defined pattern, RIP Sketch will now automatically
switch the setting to the user defined pattern.
Several other minor changes.
Version 1.04
------------
Fixed some minor bugs with the copy up/down command.
Added keyboard short cuts for the menu commands. 'L' for load, 'S'
for save, etc... Note 'H' is for show since 'S' already used by save.
Also 'T' will toggle the screen.
RIP Sketch now continues processing a RIP even after a |# RIP command,
and no longer deletes the information after it.
Fixed a very rare bug that would sometimes remove a ! in the beginning of
a line when saving a file.
Changed the palette selection to a much easier RGB selection for redefining
the color palette.
A math co-processor is no longer supported because the extra overhead had
caused the Bezier curves to go too slow with out one. Note: Bezier curves
are now drawn real time if a 386 or better processor is present.
Fixed another bug with redefining the palette when loading or viewing RIPs.
Added delay option for viewing. /V1 for the shortest delay, /V9 for the
longest delay.
Added a mouse compatibility option for some mice that didn't work correctly
with RIP Sketch. If RIP Sketch can not detect your mouse, or the mouse
pointer does not appear, or is not drawn correctly, try the /M option. It
will only give you a regular cross hair mouse pointer, but it should work.
Added a command line option /L for left hand mouse. This will reverse the
functions of the left and right mouse buttons.
RIP Sketch will now display ASCII text in the text window (if defined) in
five different font sizes. If you do not want to see the text in the text
window, use the /NT command line switch.
Added a new command to load text from a file and place it on the screen.
RIP sound effects are now supported. If you have an Adlib or compatible
sound card, the sounds will be played through it instead of the PC speaker.
Several other minor bug fixes.
Version 1.03
------------
Fix a bug that sometimes prevented palette color changes when viewing and
displaying RIPs.
Small and tight Bezier curves are now much easier to draw. The boxes
now adjust their size according to the size of the curve. The curve is
drawn in real time if a 80287 or better co-processor is present. The space
bar will temporarily hide the boxes for viewing. Also, when moving a
box, only that box is shown.
There is a new configuration option for line length. RIPs can be saved
from 39 to 200 characters in length. The default length is 72. To add
this feature, delete RSKETCH.CFG and execute RIP Sketch.
Added a new RIP command to copy a region of the screen up or down. Very
large areas of the screen can be copied almost instantaneously without
using the clipboard.
Improved the Undo option. Undo will now undo an object or group of
objects, even after clicking to the menu screen and back.
Version 1.02
------------
RIP Sketch now doubles as a command line viewer! To view files, use
/V filename to view. Wildcards are allowed.
A new command line option has been added, /C, for compatibility
mode. This was added for some viewers which couldn't handle the
efficient files that RIP Sketch generated. RIP files created
when using this option will be 5-10% larger than without it.
The font box is now bigger to hold the two new larger fonts. RIP
Sketch now has all eleven RIPscrip fonts.
Fixed bug which was removing blank lines from text in a RIP file, and
skipping the first line of RIPscrip after following the blank lines.
Discovered that when drawing filled polygons when the draw color is
black, the lines shouldn't be drawn. (because of a bug in the graph
unit) RIP Sketch will now not draw these when making filled polygons.
Version 1.01
------------
Added four new fonts.
Changed some of the mouse routines to work better with some mice that
were having problems.
Version 1.00
------------
First Public release of RIP Sketch.
