Textris 2.0, 07/08/93:
Added CATALOG.TXT, a catalog of Hanlin software.
The dictionary has been greatly expanded.
A variety of dictionary compression techniques have been
employed to reduce the amount of disk space Textris requires.
Added something resembling mouse handling, for 3-button mice
only. The left and right buttons function as left and right
arrow keys, and the middle button functions as a down arrow.
Speed increases happen less frequently. However, the top
speed is considerably faster than it used to be! This adds a
little excitement back into the game for skilled players.
The settings for "preview next letter", "drop down" and
"noise" are now preserved when you exit the game, so you
don't have to reset them every time you start Textris.
In the registered version, a new utility has been added to
make it easier to customize the Textris dictionary.
Textris 1.1, 11/25/92:
The default action of the spacebar or left arrow key is to
make a letter drop faster. If you prefer to have the letter
drop immediately instead, this is now also possible. Use
the F4 function key to switch between the two modes.
A preview window which shows the next letter has been added.
You can toggle it on or off with the F6 function key.
Some folks reported keyboard buffer overflows on slower
machines. The keyboard is now cleared more frequently,
which should solve the problem. If not, let me know.
The word dictionary has been expanded.
The REGISTER.TXT file has been renamed ORDER.FRM, since that
seems to be the more standard nomenclature.
Textris 1.0, 10/29/92:
This is the initial release of Textris.
