JewlLinr Version 2.3 32-bit version Ed Adasiewicz 260 Richmond Lane Village of Lakewood, IL 60014 (815) 459-3618 eda@mc.net http://user.mc.net/~eda JewlLinr is a 32-bit Microsoft Windows 95 application that prints and saves liners for jewel boxes. JewlLinr comes with templates (formats) to produce liners for both CD (2 parts) and ZIP disk (1 part) jewel cases. You have total control over typefaces, fold and cut lines, text rotation, liner dimensions, tab stops and text styles and can view an on-screen WYSIWYG version of the liner before printing. You can also define and save formats that can be used as templates for new liners, sequentially print multiple liners (even on the same page) and include pictures in various graphics formats. You can define additional 'areas' anywhere on a liner. Text can be entered and stylized within an area; and graphics can be stretched over or centered within an area. The image that is displayed on the CRT screen approximates what will actually be printed. The printed result is quite accurate and can be cut (into 1 or more parts), folded and then inserted into an empty (preferably clear plastic) jewel case. To install JewlLinr, start by unzipping the file. If the name of the file looked like "jwlinrxx.zip" where xx are numbers, then click on (or execute) SETUP.EXE within Windows 95 and follow the setup wizard. If the name of the file was jwupdate.zip then copy the files into the directory (folder) where you previously installed JewlLinr, and (at your leisure) open and save all of your existing formats to update their internal version number. For help about JewlLinr, read the online help available under the help menu. JewlLinr is distributed as shareware; it is not free software. This allows you to use the program and determine if you like it and whether it fits your needs. If you like JewlLinr and find it useful, you are requested to support it by registering (i.e. sending me money). The unregistered version will perform all the same functions as the registered version. HOWEVER, THE UNREGISTERED VERSION IS FLAWED IN THAT IT PRINTS A SMALL "JEWLLINR ADVERTISEMENT" ON THE LINER. If you have registered a previous version, you don't have to re-register this version. However, if you feel a burning desire to send me more money, I will not refuse it! See the online help for the current single user registration fee for JewlLinr. A single user license means that JewlLinr can be installed on multiple machines but only used on one machine at a time -- similar to how one uses a book. If JewlLinr is to be installed and used on multiple machines simultaneously, then you should contact the author about a multi-user license. All funds should be in US dollars -- cash, check (drawn on US banks only), money order, or postal money order. I don't wish to belittle foreign currency, but the local banks (in a small town) charge a very unattractive (to me) fee to exchange currency. No credit cards -- I haven't made it to the big time. Please make all checks payable to Ed Adasiewicz, and forward your payment along with your name, address (electronic and postal), and comments to: Ed Adasiewicz 260 Richmond Lane Village of Lakewood, IL 60014 You can also print the ASCII text file ORDER.TXT. Registered users receive a User Name and Key that unlocks the program and allows them to print liners without the "JewlLinr advertisement". The JewlLinr program is being made available on an "as is" basis, and carries no warranties, express or implied.

Revision History: ---------------- 2.3 - Fixed a bug where a blank page would be printed (wasted) is you were printing only cover inserts and the printer had to be placed in landscape mode. Added Alt+O as a shortcut to the OK button wherever multiple lines of text can be added -- e.g. any of the text dialog boxes. Added abbreviations which allow for textual substitutions. Added custom printing -- fit as many liners as you think you can on one or two pages. 2.2 - Fixed the Last Font button -- it did not work across liners and/or formats unless you were lucky. Fixed a bug which caused eratic printing when the same font was used in 2 (or more) areas and the areas had different rotations. Replaced repeatedly printing the word "Sample" down the diagonal of the liner in the unregistered version with printing a small JewlLinr advertisement on the liner. 2.1 - Modified Out-Of-Memory reporting to tell where and how much. Rewrote font handling logic -- couldn't figure out how the old one even worked!? Fixed a problem where text cutting with Ctrl+X could cause the program to abort. Fixed registration of file types -- it was broke. Rewrote font and picture I/O -- some funky outcomes were possible. Fixed several memory leaks -- hopefully, out-of-memory reporting will not occur. 2.0 - Fixed a bug where tabs within pasted text were not recognized. Fixed a bug where default file extents were not being correctly used in the common file dialog boxes. 1.9 - Added a checkable menu item (Apply Last Font) under the Fonts submenu which (when checked) will automatically do an Apply operation after a Last Font operation in the Text dialog box. Added OK buttons wherever there were Apply buttons. Modified the handling of unsaved changes to ask about exiting before checking the validity of input. Put back the old BMP rooutines. Fixed the blinking toolbar when scrolling. Replaced the annoying about window in the unregistered version with repeatedly printing the word "Sample" down the diagonal of the liner. 1.8 - Added a toolbar with tooltips. Added better support for 1-part liners (e.g.zip drive). Added context menu support (i.e. right mouse click floating menus) inside of text areas. Modified all dialog boxes to be more sensitive to unsaved changes. Replaced disabled features in the unregistered version with an annoying timed about window. Added stretching a picture to fill a cover or text area. Added centering a picture within a cover or text area. Added support for JPG, PCX, PNG, and TGA graphics formats. Fixed a bug where defining more than 128 fonts caused the program to abort. Modified the program to delete all unused font definitions at the time a liner or format is saved. 1.7 - Fixed a bug that caused the program to terminate with an illegal operation error during the addition of a bitmap picture. 1.6 - Fixed a bug that caused multi-copy printing of liners, to printers that support multiple copies, to print the square of the number requested. 1.5 - Added a recent file list feature. Automatically save and restore window size and position. 1.4 - Fixed a bug with printing the spines (i.e. rotated text) on certain printers. 1.3 - Fixed a bug that caused multi-copy printing of liners, split across two pages, to not work with certain printers. 1.2 - Fixed a problem where the program aborted if all entered text was deleted from a text area, the liner was saved and then opened. Fixed the install script to place the correct shell command in the registry. 1.1 - Fixed a problem where memory was being incorrectly released from within the text entry dialog box causing the program to abort. 1.0 - Initial release
