-
-
-
- Version 2.2
- ===========
-
- Version 2.0 would sometimes fail to install under Windows NT due to
- a problem in a 3rd party DLL included in version 2.0 to handle the
- import of JPG files. This problem is now fixed. Minor changes in
- the help file and ordering information have also been made.
-
-
-
- New version 2 enhancements:
- ===========================
-
- Version 2 contains 13 major new features, 18 enhancements and
- 9 bug fixes. For a full list, please see the online help
- under "Version 2 changes". Here are just some of them:
-
- - Trays for storing and solving parts of the jigsaw.
- - Import of various image file formats when creating jigsaws.
- - Background color per jigsaw plus auto-color modes.
- - Optional seconds on timer with countdown and alarm.
- - Programmable snap-to distance.
- - Dockable toolbars - makes handling tall jigsaws easier.
- - Shuffle and preview buttons for music, plus more tunes.
- - Programmable sounds with more sound effects.
- - Print feature.
- - Delete file feature.
-
-
-
- What makes Jigsaws Galore the best?
- ===================================
-
- 1. Powerful! Play and create jigsaws from 4 to 4,000 pieces.
-
- 2. Easy! Even a complete novice can start solving jigsaws immediately.
- The jigsaw preview screen makes finding your favorite jigsaw a snap
- and even lets you change the number of pieces in the jigsaw.
-
- 3. Full-featured! Automatically arrange pieces around the outside of
- the board to leave room to solve the puzzle. Other programs make you
- scroll the screen to find a piece. You can never lose a piece "off
- screen" with this program! We take away the drudgery by sorting
- pieces by shape or color, as you wish. Change the size of pieces
- on the fly.
- Now you can fit all of the pieces on the board all of the time. And
- it's so easy to create new jigsaws! Of course there's flying
- hints, context sensitive help, toolbars, status bar, sound and
- music, as you'd expect.
-
- 4. Fun! The jigsaws look (and sound) great. Just like real ones.
- Sneaky cheat modes let you flash the piece you're looking for, or
- fetch it, or turn pieces the right way up. You can even watch
- the jigsaw solve itself.
-
-
-
- About the program:
- ==================
-
- The program requires Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 and the evaluation
- version takes around 4MB of disk space when installed. Please see
- the online ordering information for details of how to order the full
- version and extra jigsaws, including CD-ROM version with 130 jigsaws
- and bonus games.
