- Region Package v1.0 © 1990 Nigel Perry
-
- ßeta tested by Ruben Leon, Mark Sanderson, Olle Furberg
- and Ducan Langford. This software has been run on Mac+,
- SE/30 & various Mac II's some with colour. Supplied as is.
- No guarantees that it will run on your system, no repsonsibility
- accepted for any damage caused. Many thanks to the ßeta testers,
- any remaining problems are down to me.
-
- On Fonts…
-
- These stacks use the Palatino font, make sure you have this
- installed or they will not display correctly. The Palatino font
- file included in the package is the styled Adobe version available
- from sumex (and other good archives) in the info-mac/font/adobe
- directory. If you already have styled Palatino or prefer to use
- the plain Palatino which comes with HyperCard 2 then you can
- delete the suitacse file to save space.
-
- All these stacks have fonts in their resource forks, there has
- recently been some debate on the rights and wrongs of this. The
- HyperCard team (seem) to say its OK, the AUIG/TN that it isn't.
- If you're scared of the Apple Thought Police (cringh, cringh) then move
- the fonts into your system, HyperCard or get SuitCase/MasterJuggler
- to open them. To (re)move them from the stacks use Font/DA mover
- and open the stacks by holding down the option key when clicking Open.
-
- On Memory…
-
- Regions is fairly expensive of memory, window structures can easily
- take up a few Kb (most of it purgable, but required while window
- redrawing). QuickDraw obviuosly doesn't expect such large(?) window
- structures and seems careless of memory when moving/updating/resizing
- windows. This can cause memory exhaustion, especially on 1Mb and colour systems.
- Used sensibly and with moderation you should be OK, regions with complex
- structures are the most expensive - don't try to throw up a masked
- picture consisting only of 50% gray or you're asking for it!
- YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
-
- And finally…
