- Changes from 1.06 Oct 23, 1993
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This version really came about because I was starting a support BBS for
- another program of mine (RIPGRAF)... HyperANSI never needed a support BBS
- because apparently nobody was using it? Anyways, this version fixes a couple
- of bugs (Thanks to Jeff Grimmet for bringing them to my attention).
-
- Bug 1
- Fixed the "lock-up" problem when parsing weird ANSI commands. It wasn't
- really a lock-up, but it would leave the mouse and menu inactivated. The
- program will now ignore the command and continue parsing the file.
-
- Bug 2
- Fixed a problem with the file requester. If a file was loaded and then
- you move or delete that file (from a CLI) and bring up the ASL requester
- again, the file would still display the name of the file just deleted.
- Clicking "okay" would then display "something" when it shouldn't do
- anything. The program will still display the file name the same as before,
- but will not try to displaying it.
-
- New feature
- Setting up a BBS required the designing of menu's. I did this with HyperANSI
- (of course) but found that when I had a menu with only a few lines in it,
- the program would add a bunch of line feeds to the file (leaving alot of
- dead space between the menu and prompt). The new option will save *ONLY* as
- much of the screen as you've used, and not add any extra LF's. To use this
- goto to the Edit menu and select ANSI parameters, now click on the "Number
- of rows" cycle gadget until it reads AUTO, then click USE or SavePrefs (to
- keep it on AUTO permanently)
-
- I also went through all the code and cleaned it up a bit. No bugs that I
- could find?
-
- Register?
- ~~~~~~~~~
- If you like the program please register, SUPPORT SHAREWARE!
-
- *** SEND WHATEVER YOU FEEL IT IS WORTH TO YOU! ****
-
- Those who send registrations of $25 US ($30CAN) or more (yeah right) will
- still be mailed a disk containing the latest version of the program along
- with the 400+ ANSI files. Everyone else will get a card of thanks, provided
- your registration is more than the cost of a card and postage <G>
-
- If you've already registered HyperANSI... then please use this version for
- as long as you want. All future updates will be handled in the same manner
- as this one. You (and all the people who haven't got a clue what shareware
- means) will be able to download the latest UNCRIPPLED versions of HyperANSI
- from your local BBS.
-
- Bugs?
- ~~~~~
- Well, if Jeff hadn't of let me know of the above bugs... I probably would be
- the only one using v1.07 (cause I needed that "AUTO number of rows" thingy)
-
- Does the program work well for you? Most bugs are pretty minor, and can be
- fixed in matter of minutes. If I don't know about them, it's not likely to
- be fixed, is it?
-
- Needed Stuff?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- A PAL version? I dunno, haven't heard from many outside of North America...
-
- External ANSI codes? Being able to replace each ANSI command with an external
- one's (for specific BBS codes).
-
- One registered user mentioned IFF brush importing (pixel -> half characters)
- Is anybody else interested in that?
