- multiple undo/redo for aprox. 8000 operations.
- tested with MungWall and Enforcer-Clone.

NEW FEATURES
V2.0 (20-Feb-97):
- Added support for custom graphics!
- Misc changes.
- Patch: Added sounds to menu.
- Patch: Added keyboard function to quit out (shift-q).
- Patch: Added raw support for CUSTOM LEVEL GRAPHICS!
- Fixed a little bug in the getmodename routine.
V1.3 (20-Jan-97):
- Patch now handles file imploded files as well: Demo worlds are
much smaller now.
- Added update-only feature in the installer-script.
V1.3 (08-Jan-97):
- Fixed a bug in the undo feature when disabling the objects
showing. (Normally this affected Line and Bar Drawing).
- Changed the Installer-Script to handle the lems2HD.lha file
instead of the lzx one, as (please insert appropriate word)
aminet server now just kills archives if it finds lzx archives
in there.
V1.3 (02-Jan-97):
- Added some tooltypes:
"LEMMINGSDIR=drawer" allows you to move the editor to other
places.
"HELPFILE=file.guide" specifies the file to use for the online
help.
"WORMSDIR=drawer" specifies a default drawer for saving
levels.
- Fixed a bug which caused some menu items to be enabled, even
if the tribe graphics loading process failed and therefore no
level existed. Selecting these items would cause the computer
to crash.
- Due to a bug, the Editor would crash on MC68000 when level was
written back, or when using a keyfile. This is now fixed. This
*also* should fix the illegal memory hits on A3000/A4000 with
keyfile.
- Disabled some menus by default to avoid the user selecting the
items which are unavailable.
- Finally added conversion routines for Worms levels. Both Worms
1 and Worms DC (AGA) levels are supported.
- Disabled the dos-requesters during help file search.
- Now the window positions and dimensions are stored for each
level size individually. Prefs file had to be extended.
- Minor changes & optimizions.
V1.2 (12-Oct-96):
- Added spare bars options for Ben.
V1.1 (26-Sep-96):
- Second public release.
- Fixed that stupid bug causing scrambled gfx. The bitmap
structure was filled with wrong mem-pointers when d3 contained
non 0 in the upper word. Sorry about this one.
- Minor changes.
V1.0 (17-Sep-96):
- Updated Installer-Script: Can now also install Lemmings 2 if
the patch archive is present. Also will unpack the demoworlds
if such an archive if found.
- Minor changes.
V1.0 (04-Sep-96):
- First release.
