• Added a new Easy Install option that mimics traditional installers. It uses a very similar file structure, but allows you the luxuries of a one-click installer. The installer will default to the Easy Install option if a file named "Easy Install Script" is present in the Installer Files directory. Currently, you can run BH as one or the other, but you can't switch between Easy Install and the old style walkthrough-install. And there's no compression capabilities. Hey, what do you expect for $25? For more info, see the Easy Install section.
• Added an improved Gestalt engine which allows for hexadecimal values.
Changes/Additions in version 1.7.3 (1/21/99):
• Added the ability to launch applications or documents directly from a multi-item
installation. Previously, the only way to launch a document or app was to use the
launcher template. Now you can install files, then launch applications, all with one
click!
Changes/Additions in version 1.7.2 (1/20/99):
• Added the ability to log errors, and place them in a log file. To activate it, simply
hold the option key down and click the page number in the lower right corner of the
screen. A file called "Error Log" will appear in the BH main directory.
• Fixed a Folder Copy problem on some Macs.
• Improved the transition between screens.
• Added support for "AutoAdvance". Add that command to a screen, and it will advance
on its own after the main action has occurred.
Changes/Additions in version 1.7.1 (1/19/99):
• Added support for using any sized graphic as a button. See 10. Buttons & Backgrounds
• Added support for using any sized graphic as a backdrop. See 10. Buttons & Backgrounds
• Fixed a bug which prevented BH from resurfacing after another installer finished.
• Added support for alternate id numbers for apps who don't use 128 for their icons.
• Increased Preferred RAM Allocation to support possible graphic imports (items 1 and 2).
• Added the ability to check for folders with a particular path, instead of just files.
