- Icon Manager
- Version 1.1
- 3/27/91
-
- An operations manual is included with this release in the file
- ICONMAN.WRI. This file is in Windows Write format and has been
- formatted for an HP LaserJet or PostScript printer. Instructions are
- included at the top of the file for printing on other printers. We
- apologize if you find that this format is not the most suitable for
- your requirements. Our goal is to produce the highest quality product
- using the tools available to all users. Using Windows Write provides
- the sharpest hardcopy output with the most flexibility for user re-
- formating.
-
- This manual contains complete installation and operation information
- as well as an educational overview of icon file types. We suggest
- that you take the time to print and review the manual to get the
- best results and the most enjoyment from Icon Manager.
-
- For the impatient folks that would like to jump right in, you can
- simply copy all of the release files to your hard disk, preferably
- into their own subdirectory such as "C:\ICONS". An install utility
- is included which can be executed with the format "INSTALL d: dir"
- where "d:" is the drive to install to (remember to include the colon)
- and "dir" is an optional sub-directory ("ICONS" will be used if "dir"
- is not specified).
-
- NOTE: This release may include several sample files containing icons
- which have been collected on a major, international, electronic
- data service. Although some of these icons are derivatives or
- enhancements of commercial program icons, it is not the intention
- of Impact Software to distribute any material that its creator(s)
- or legal owner(s) would object to. We will immediately remove
- any icon(s) which is brought to our attention as proprietary
- in nature and should not be freely distributed.

- Version 1.1
- Update Notes
-
- The following changes have been made since release 1.0:
-
- - A program error which wrote an icon library to another Icon
- Manager filename the second time the library was saved has
- been corrected.
-
- - The screen re-painting logic has been enhanced to avoid as
- much repainting as possible. A considerable amount of re-
- painting has been eliminated when an icon window is resized,
- resulting in a significant performance improvement.
-
- - The re-sizing logic for icon Windows has been updated to allow
- you to 'drag' a window open past its right and bottom bound-
- aries. This is much more convenient for finding space to
- place new icons and also lends itself to a faster screen
- repaint.
-
- - The icon library read routine has been modified to read icon
- libraries created with ICONDLL2 without an Unrecoverable
- Application Error occurring. This was required because
- the resource directory in ICONDLL2 icon libraries deviates
- slightly from Microsoft's documented structure.
-
- - An additional feature in the Bitmap Tool's screen/inverse
- color dialog now allows the viewing background color to be
- changed by clicking any color button with the right mouse
- button.
-
- - A correction has been made to insure that the user is
- prompted and file saves are completed for any files which
- have been changed before the program exits.
