Hi, here the complete history of improvements/bigfiXes of AnsiPainter pro..


version 1.oo    (23.o4.1994)
------------
-totally new features towards the old version called 'ANSIPAINTER'

version 1.o1    (13.o5.1994)
------------
-ASCII-FiLE-LOAD added (also loads xTRAKKER background picZ)
-revision.txt added ;-))
-time-delay in the shareware version kicked
-new bannerZ/trcZ
-some save-bugs fixed
 (chekk the asm/pascal/c-include files, because there can be an " ' " or " , "
 too much ;-( )

version 1.o2   (o6.o6.1994)
------------
-version-nfo added ;-)
 (major improvements will follow soon)

version 1.1o   (15.o6.1994)
------------
-x/y of the mouse-cursor is printed while painting, no need to press  -i-
 anymore... (idea by stevie)
-small bug in the sprite-routine fixed (if you left sprite-mode, an unwished
 char was printed on the screen)
-sprite routine improved (faster/handy), x/y is printed, too.
-keys to scroll up/down corrected (now pageUp scrolls to the top and PageDown
 to the bottom) (reported/requested by fish)
-some QL BaNNeRs added to the package..if you're interested in my worx,
 contact me (MaiL/VoiCe/SNaiL-MaiL/BBSs)
-still no major update due to too much tests in school...SORRY!

version 1.2o   (22.o6.94)
------------
-in sprite/text/select mode pageup and pagedown were STiLL wrong.SORRY ! :(
-now you can leave the greetings with escape (THX 2 FiSH)
-you are asked if you want to add an [2J to your ansi-pic (what means clearing
 the screen and setting the cursor to left upper corner. (Requested by ACiD)
-again just a small maintenance release, keep waiting for july, because
 then I'll have plenty of time to add more cool funktions. =:)
-menu improved..press M and you can select 0-9,a-z and A-Z !
 => easy for 'designing texts
-little bug in the ansi-save-rout. fixed ! Now everything should be ok, I
 tested it several times..

version 1.3o   (got never released)
------------
-ansis are much smaller now (optimating ansi-saving routs is hard, I got to
 know today... =) )
-at the end of the ansi, the colors are set to the normal value ( ESC [0m ),
 that means, the background-color is black and the front-color grey.
-you can enter some delay-values to display your ansis slower.
 (QL for long nTRY screens that scroll with hi-speed modems tooo faaaast!)
 entering 0 means no delay at all, pressing RETURN meanz no delay also!

version 1.5o  (around 28.o7.94)
-------------
-25x80/43x80/50x80 modes added
 switch thru with "v"  (25x80 => 43x80 => 50x80 => 25x80......)
-keys redefined: pos1 and end jump no longer to the start/end of the line
 but to the first/last line.
 while entering texts ("t"), these keys will still jump to the start/end
 of the line
-you can switch between intensity and blinking.
 intensity means that you have no longer blinking characters but
 16 colors for  the background color !! Remember that most PCs run with
 BLiNKiNG *enabled*..!!!
 This is still useful for extremely QL 16*16 color shadings in
 ANSis 4 demos/intros/ansi-diskmagz...
 -palette-editor is coming soon for even HEAViER shadings in ANSis
  for demos/intros [for those who wanna be really elite.. ;-) ]
-shelling to dos is easier, safer and faster now...
 no need to change to the ansipro.exe path before EXITing anymore.
-some minor bugs fixed/small things improved (I need beta-testers,
 coz then I could spend more time on coding this basic-crap further...!)
-MAXiMUM number of lines increased to 200 (before: 150)
 I hope that's enough, isn't it ?
 BAN-format now saves all 200 lines.Old 150-lines BAN's can be loaded
 as a normal BAN of coz.

version 1.51  (29.o7.94)
-------------
-error handling routine included now ;-)
-new pascal/c save-routines included now ;-))



FUTURE PLANS:
-ansi-loader
-view-mode (see ansi without the menu)
-scrolling up/down with the mouse
-smaller ansis
-palette-editor
-fill
-using ASM-code for routines that are slow..
