Connections 1.2

To update version 1.0 of Connections to 1.2 simply replace the program file
named CONNECT.PRG and the opening screen named CONNECT.PI3 with the new ones.
All other support files remain the same.
Version 1.2 changes and additions
---------------------------------
* Automatic loading of animation files is new. If you name your animation
graphic blocks (.ANI) using numbers at the beginning or end of the filename,
Connections will auto-load the entire animation at once. With the old
method you must click on each .ANI file one at a time in exact order.
Bypass this auto-load by holding down the ALTERNATE key when choosing the
first .ANI file from the fileselector.
Here are some examples of files that will auto-load:
JUMP1.ANI 1LEAP.ANI
JUMP2.ANI 2LEAP.ANI
JUMP3.ANI 3LEAP.ANI
JUMP4.ANI 4LEAP.ANI
JUMP5.ANI 5LEAP.ANI
JUMP6.ANI 6LEAP.ANI
* Animation now supports "pingpong". This feature cycles the animation back
and forth (forwards and backwards) in a continuous loop. Press the "P" key
after placing down your animation to activate or deactivate the pingpong
effect.
* Better error correction and use of memory. Delete the opening screen
CONNECT.PI3 to save memory.
* If you plan on stacking an animation over top of a graphic child you can use
the F10 key to align the two correctly. First set up the graphic child
then when you next choose an animation, press F10 while moving "frame one"
around the screen with the mouse. This will display the last graphic child
and temporarily allow you to align the animation over top, just as it will
look to the user. Press F10 again to toggle back to the original screen if
you change your mind.
* The menu bar on top of text windows can now display either,
STATIC TEXT FIELD or SCROLLING TEXT FIELD
Static text fields now adjust their vertical size as well as their
horizontal size to fit small text files.
* A new 150 cell ceiling for animation blocks
