- --------------------------- Revision History ---------------------------------
-
- Version 1
- ---------
-
- - Original release version.
-
- - Each icon library was seperate .EXE file which was executed to display icons.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Version 2
- ---------
-
- - Single EXE display program.
-
- - Icons now stored in DLL files (file suffix is actually .ICL).
-
- - Dynamic menus which are user defined.
-
- - Animation display.
-
- - Many more icons added to collection.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 2a
- ----------
-
- Fixed a couple of problems in this version
-
- - Animating icons would disappear on some displays (eg VGA). This problem has
- been fixed.
-
- - Don't allow animation until an icon collection has been selected from the
- menu otherwise unspecified memory is copied to the display.
-
- - Some more icons added to the collection.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 3
- ---------
-
- - Allow 2 levels of hierarchy in the menu system.
-
- - Change heading to show menu description rather than the ICL filename.
-
- - Provide facility to reload menus without restarting program
-
- - Clicking on an icon in the client area will allow the user to save that
- icon to a .ICO file.
-
- - Include Common Dialog routines for File Save and Choose Color.
-
- - Provide ability to clear the icon screen without loading new icons.
-
- - Increase icon collection from 3000 icons in 60 categories to over
- 10000 icons in more than 150 categories in the REGISTERED version of
- the program.
-
- - All icons have been "tidied" up, in particular where the background was a
- fixed color (usually white) it has been changed to transparent. The icons
- usually look much better this way.
-
- - Allow the background color of the display area to be changed. Note that if
- there are multiple instances of ICOLIB running, all will have the same
- background color after the next repaint of each client area.
-
- - Fixed a bug which limited the number of categories to 143.
-
- - The help file was updated to describe these changes.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 4
- ---------
-
- 28/12/94
- - Save window position and size on program exit in INI file. Restore this
- position and size when restarting the program.
-
- 3/1/95
- - Allow the use of path names for ICL files specified in the icolib.ini file.
- There is a limit of 66 characters for the pathname. Examples...
- Item_1=icons\rabbit.icl,This is a rabbit...
- Item_2=..\icondir\rabbit.icl,This is a rabbit...
- Item_3=d:\tmp\rabbit.icl,This is a rabbit...
- Item_4=\top_dir\icons\rabbit.icl,This is a rabbit...
-
- - Restructure all of the ICL files into appropriate subdirectories and change
- the icolib.ini file to reflect these changes. Also rename some meaningless
- ICL filenames into more meaningful names.
-
- 21/1/95
- - Increased szItem size from 8 to 11 characters to allow for "Item_xx_xx\0".
-
- 1/4/95
- - Fixed fault: If user saved an icon and changed directory for this save
- operation, the icolib.ini file would be written to this new location
- rather than the directory containing the icolib.exe file.
-
- - New release zip files (registered) created for version 4.016 to update the
- display program, icolib.exe.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 4A
- ----------
-
- - Updated registration information.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 4B
- ----------
-
- - Updated registration details to include information on how to register
- with credit cards through the Internet Web or by telephone. (PsL)
-
- - Fixed the following minor bug...
-
- In the ICOLIB.INI file:
- [Init]
- Left=362
- Top=115
- Width=531
- Height=122 <---- value less than 123 will cause GPF when program loads.
-
- If "Height" is set to a value less than 123, then icolib.exe will force
- the "Hieght" to be 123.
