[0/7] ZX-WinWord 2.0 + Sprite Cutter 0.3

ZXNet echo conference «zx.spectrum»

From Evgeny Milun To All 2 October 1997


Hello All !

Here, at the request of TV viewers, I am posting the full release version of my editor ZX-WinWord v2.0, as well as (for the company :))) the program Sprite Cutter v0.3
by Noman/Stars Of Keladan, aka A.B.K. (For those who are not in the know, sprites for
WWord are cut with its help).
These versions were created in a slight hurry, dedicated to Enlight'97, and
therefore, they contain some glitches... :(((Versions 2.1 and 0.4
respectively are almost ready, but... But since these programs will be included in the application
ZXF-7, then don’t even ask to throw them here... In the same place, in ZXF-7, a detailed description of both programs will be published...

In the meantime, as an announcement of ZX-WinWord v2.1 and advertising of ZXF-7 ;))), as well as
nobody I accidentally ran into the glitches listed below, I'll tell you
about...
Differences between version 2.1 and 2.0
---------------------------

1. Two new functions have been added to the illustration editing mode
- shift down (to the end of the text) of all illustrations on all pages,
starting from the current one i.e. inserting another page into the template; shift
up (to the beginning of the text) i.e. deleting a page.

2. A word wrapping block has been added to the text formatting mode. The quality of the transfer is in some places even better than that of Is-DOS.

3. Slightly enlargedspeed of some operations, such as
search/replace, formatting, page search, output of sprites, text
etc.

4. Five features have been fixed: flickering of the Setup menu; sometimes, incomplete
initialization of the editor at startup (the current line contains
"garbage"); not always correct processing of the "default attribute" - when adding a new line to the end of the text, its color was white, and not the "default attribute"; in 48K mode the warning text was not printed (this arose due to the multifont nature); if there were a lot of control characters in any
line and the length of the line together with
control characters exceeded 42 characters, then when you tried to
put the color/font control code via EXT+ A/N, it was inserted
in the wrong place.

5. Fixed a glitch in the selection menu files by cursor. In the case when there were more than 60 displayed files on the disk (i.e., having an extension other than “B”), it was impossible to appear on the last line in the displayed list - i.e. select the 58th, 59th and 60th files.

6. Fixed a glitch that has existed since version 1.0 (my dear mother, how
I just didn’t notice it earlier!!!). If the text size did not
exceed one screen, then when you try to stand on the last screen,
the text disappeared.

7. Fixed a glitch withdisappearance of changes in the current line when trying to call block operations from DOC mode.

8. Glitches with the last line of text have been eliminated (it was possible to split it into two
parts by pressing ENTER only after entering the line into the text).

Good luck ! Evgeny.
