MR.MATT - VERSION HISTORY
=========================

VERSION 1.59 - 97/09/15

   After completing a level, the program will now advance to the
   next one (if available) - you no longer have to click on a button.

   Startup in a selected language added: just run Mr.Matt with a
   command line parameter, specifying the language: English
   (default), Deutsch, Svenska, Italiano, François or Español.

   Cosmetic changes in the new, color menus and dialogs.

   The 16-bit version is back in sync with the 32-bit one.

VERSION 1.58 - 97/08/23 (32-bit only)

   "Panic Button" added: hit [Pause] to hide Mr. Matt in the taskbar
   Icon Tray (32-bit version) or to iconize the program (16-bit).

   Added protection against running multiple instances of Mr. Matt.

   Screen redrawing speeded up on 256-color systems.

   Game play and replay speeded up.

   On systems with more than 256 colors dialogs and menus are now
   more colorful. Other minor appearance improvements.

   An obscure bug fixed: on faster systems with high keyboard repeat
   rate Mr. Matt might sometimes jump back for no apparent reason.

   The 32-bit version has been made compatible with and recompiled
   under Delphi 3.

VERSION 1.56 - 97/05/21

   Game merging added (registered copies).

   Fixed the misbehavior occurring when the "No stupid moves" option
   was used when playing with the mouse.

VERSION 1.55 - 97/05/12

   An option to save (and restore) a game in progress has been added.

   Red button background added to show the next level to complete.

   The program now automatically deletes any hint (.sox) files after
   merging them into the solution file (mrmatt.sol). It also cleans up
   history files, removing all references to games which are not
   on the disk.

VERSION 1.53 - 97/04/22

   Slow Playback option added.

   Stone animation made smoother.

VERSION 1.51 - 97/04/15

   Fixed a bug in 1.50: not opening the next level after completing
   the previous one. Oops!

VERSION 1.50 - 97/04/14

   Added a new gadget: a stone-eating box. It will eat a stone falling
   into it, but will itself disappear after three stones.

   Changed graphics in the user interface (LED and sculpted digits).
   Added a new "pumpkin" graphics set.

   Speeded up game playback with the sound off.

   A minor change in game rules: when a stone rolls to the side after
   falling, and a roll in both directions is possible, it will always
   be towards Mr.Matt (not randomly as before). This affected some
   of the old prerecorded solution files (four levels out of sixty);
   the solution files at Mr.Matt Web page have been updated.

   Registered owners: you can now replace the final winning splash
   screen for an individual game with any .BMP picture file of your
   choice. Details on how to do it are in a hidden Mr. Matt page
   which you may find (if you a lucky) on my Web site.

VERSION 1.41 - 97/03/01

   Lifted the 1024-step limitation on recorded game solutions.

   Added reading of multiple solution (.sox) files at startup.

   increased above a certain value.

VERSION 1.32 - 96/12/31
