- How To Apply This Update
- ========================
-
- To update your VBX files to version 1.10.3, you must run the UPDATE.BAT file
- from the DOS command line, and you must provide the path of your Windows
- directory (e.g., C:\WINDOWS) as the one and only argument to the batch file.
- For example:
-
- C:\> UPDATE C:\WINDOWS
-
- The patch program will ask you to confirm that it has found the correct
- directory for your VBX files (unless you are using a shared installation of
- Windows, this should be your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory). Once the patch
- process has completed successfully, you may delete all of the files that came
- with the patch (UPDATE.BAT, PATCH.EXE, XTC1-1-3.RTP, and READ_ME.TXT).
-
- This patch is designed to update any previous version of VBXtasy except for
- version 1.10.0. If the files on your system come from that version, the
- patch program will produce the following error:
-
- error ept0036: Old file not found. However, a file of the same name was
- found. No update done since file contents do not match.
-
- If you purchased that version of the product, you should have already
- automatically received update disks that would bring you up to version 1.10.1
- (which this patch supports). If you have such disks but haven't installed
- them, you should do so before applying this patch. If you haven't received
- those disks, please contact Spinoza Limited at the phone number provided
- above in order to receive the update you need.
-
- What This Update Contains
- =========================
-
- The table below enumerates the bug fixes and improvements that were added in
- the in-line updates Spinoza has provided since version 1.10.1:
-
- Version Improvements
- ------- ------------
- 1.10.2 A fatal bug associated with button Click events was fixed. The bug
- caused a general protection fault (GPF) when the code for a button's
- Click event unloaded the form on which it resided.
-
- 1.10.3 Improved appearance of colors (palette handling) when drawing in
- the background (i.e., when our window isn't active) on 256-color
- displays.
-
- Fixed a bug that caused our color-mapping to go out of whack when
- VBXtasy Backgrounds were used on MDI Child Forms.
-
- Other improvements in our palette-handling implementation fixed
- color-related bugs on some display adapters.
-
- In response to popular demand, we made it possible to resize the
- Command buttons in the Aluminum design set to be more narrow. You
- can now select between fat and narrow buttons just by dragging the
- height of the button on the form.
-
- A Note About Your README.TXT File
- =================================
-
- There is one change to your VBXtasy installation that this patch doesn't
- cover, because the change is so small and unimportant that we felt it didn't
- merit the overhead it would have required. The change involves the
- README.TXT file that resides in the directory where you installed the
- VBXtasy, Volume 1 product (by default, C:\SPINOZA\VBXTASY). The first non-
- blank line in that file contains a version number. It should be changed to
- "1.10.3". You can, of course, make this change yourself using any text
- editor.
