Region Package v1.0 ⌐ 1990 Nigel Perry
ºeta tested by Ruben Leon, Mark Sanderson, Olle Furberg
and Ducan Langford. This software has been run on Mac+,
SE/30 & various Mac II's some with colour. Supplied as is.
No guarantees that it will run on your system, no repsonsibility
accepted for any damage caused. Many thanks to the ºeta testers,
any remaining problems are down to me.
On Fonts╔
These stacks use the Palatino font, make sure you have this
installed or they will not display correctly. The Palatino font
file included in the package is the styled Adobe version available
from sumex (and other good archives) in the info-mac/font/adobe
directory. If you already have styled Palatino or prefer to use
the plain Palatino which comes with HyperCard 2 then you can
delete the suitacse file to save space.
All these stacks have fonts in their resource forks, there has
recently been some debate on the rights and wrongs of this. The
HyperCard team (seem) to say its OK, the AUIG/TN that it isn't.
If you're scared of the Apple Thought Police (cringh, cringh) then move
the fonts into your system, HyperCard or get SuitCase/MasterJuggler
to open them. To (re)move them from the stacks use Font/DA mover
and open the stacks by holding down the option key when clicking Open.
On Memory╔
Regions is fairly expensive of memory, window structures can easily
take up a few Kb (most of it purgable, but required while window
redrawing). QuickDraw obviuosly doesn't expect such large(?) window
structures and seems careless of memory when moving/updating/resizing
windows. This can cause memory exhaustion, especially on 1Mb and colour systems.
Used sensibly and with moderation you should be OK, regions with complex
structures are the most expensive - don't try to throw up a masked
picture consisting only of 50% gray or you're asking for it!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
