RIPGRAF UPDATES NOTE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This archive contains the updated RIPGRAF executable along with any
other files changed from the last complete release (version 0.70). If
you do not have the full release version, then you will be missing
out on some important files (the fonts and documents).

Never heard of RIPGRAF before? Well, it is a program used for creating
RIPscrip files. RIPscrip is a telecommunications graphics language /
protocol which is becoming popular among IBM BBS users and sysops.
Several people are working on Amiga RIPTERM's (both stand-alone and
as XEM library extensions) as well I know of one BBS software program
which will soon offer complete RIP support (including a full graphical
local sysop console). The release dates for all of the above are (what
else) real soon now. ;)

RIPGRAF is a Shareware program, if you like it please register!
Registration information can be found in the full release (RIPGRF70.LHA)
or by contacting me.

= RIPGRAF History ========================================================
VERSION 0.70 January 25, 1994

Added structured editing. Read the RIPGRAF.DOC for information on how to
use this *GREAT* NEW feature. Some aspects of structured editing are not
available to unregistered users (unless you have a pirated keyfile, no
conscience and a desire to kill off Amiga shareware)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSION 0.61f UPDATE  January 8, 1994

Added a new tool type DISPLAY - Set to either NTSC, PAL or remove to get
your default display. (NTSC is recommended)

Fixes problem one Amiga 500 user was having.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSION 0.61e UPDATE  December 23, 1993

Fixed the Text Window command. You should reload any files which made
use of the text window, resize it back to the position you want, and
save it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSION 0.61d UPDATE  December 17, 1993

Fixed a bug that locked up the computer when "quit" was selected.
(Thanks to Mike Moon for reporting this)

Re-arranged the tool bar a little. The square and polygon gadgets have
been combined into a single "sub" tool bar.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSION 0.61c UPDATE  December 13, 1993

Added 2 tooltypes:

EOL= Should be set to AMIGA (uppercase) if you want the program to only
     use LF's as the End Of Line character. Anything else will give you
     a LF/CR pair (like earlier versions of the program used)

INITCMDS= Set this to the initial command written to your ripscrip files
          The default is "|1K|*" which kills all mouse fields and clears
          the text and graphic windows

NOTE: Tool Types can be changed by clicking on the RIPGRAF icon and
      selecting Icons/Information... from workbench.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSION 0.61b UPDATE  December 11, 1993

Fixes a bug with the RIP_TEXT_XY. The program was (sometimes) adding a
line wrap character "\" at the END of the text string, causing part
of the next command on following line to be used as part of that string.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSION 0.61 UPDATE  December 8, 1993

This version fixes a problem people were having getting the IBM RIPTERM to
understand the button commands. RIPGRAF used to write "splits" in the
middle of host commands and RIPTERM had trouble understanding them. The
program will now check to see if there is enough room to write a complete
button command on the line, and will start on a new line if there wasn't.
(thanks to Daniel Bateman sysop of the BUSHMASTER BBS, Colorada for
reporting this)

The second bug fixes a problem with the tool bar colors, pattern, and line
thickness gadgets not showing the correct settings (which would happen
after a load or an undo). (Thanks to Tom Dietz for reporting this)
