Hailing my fellow dos dinosaurs again! I firmly believe, no matter how much noise Judiths, Dans and Brians make, that we, sane Euphorians who abhor murky expanse of m$ windows, still have a clear majority on our side. Unfortunately, even after almost four years of false starts and lots of promises, we still have no practicable DOS GUI. My last call provoked David, he is finally moving, so let's hope and pray. But to make sure I'll keep kicking the butts until we get something better : simpler, faster, smarter. From David, or anybody else foolish enough to venture into his territory. I have just sent an update of my widgets to Rob. In the meantime you can also fetch them off my page as usual. I hope they will eventually become useful. Below is a summary of major changes. jiri font.ref added (font documentation) rat.ref added (rat documentation) packing list added sle changes its color in edit mode wider and faster (more frantic) text input cursor enhanced documentation, mistakes corrected, new introduced rtrim function in font.e made globally available rbutton and checkbox labels now part of clickable area selected items now shown in white text on dark background dragged windows remain shown until rat button is released dragged windows are not allowed to slide out of screen listbox and file selector were re-designed vertical scroller is no longer a separate widget merge_pic image does not need to be rectangular any more 'enter' key now also closes one-button message boxes
