THE INSTANT GRAPHICS & SOUND EDITOR Version 1.4


UPDATE:
=======


Well, just when we think we are getting somewhere, there creeps up 
another problem.  However, I think we are definitely on track now! 
The scrolling problem experienced in the earlier versions was due 
to a linefeed that we so gracesously put into the program for 
appearance reasons.  Little did we know that the Carrage Return 
and the Linefeed was a bad combination for the IGS Emulator and 
the Accessory.  The Emulator and the Accessory are designed to 
strip off the carrage returns, but not the linefeeds.  Those of 
you that were experienced enough with the IGS command codes, knew 
enough to get in there with a text editor to delete those little 
nasties out.  This saved all the work you did with the Editor.

For those of you just getting started in Instant Graphics/Sound, I 
applogize.  This was a real inconvience for you!  However, with 
all the input and tips.  We have come up with a version I think 
can be safely passed around now.  I will be uploading this version 
personally to GEnie.

For those of you that used the Text Editors to straighten out the 
IGS Editor's mess, I have some bad news for you.  Since I had to 
strip the linefeeds off of the file, all IGS command codes will 
now be on one extremely long line, if you were to view your work 
with a text editor that is.  The IGS COMPRESS tool will compact 
the code just like command stacking.  Thus making your overall 
size considerably smaller.  Of course now there should be no 
reason to use the Text Editor unless you wish to make some changes 
that would otherwise be impossible to get back to with the IGS 
Editor.  I know this is distasteful, but there was not other 
conceivable way.

I have tested pictures done with the IGS Editor with the Emulator 
online and the Accessory and the picture came accross with flying 
colors everytime!  (Not to mention SOUND!)

For those of you getting this IGS Editor for the first time, 
there should have been a IGS TUTOR file to go along with it, to 
show you all the various features of the IGS Editor.

In closing remarks, I hope now that we can see some rightous BBS 
menus and look forward to seeing any demos you care to upload and 
share!  The INSTANT GRAPHICS/SOUND Crossnet Conference will be 
open soon.  So that we can share tips, files, demos concerning 
what we are doing in the NEW IGS world!  Enjoy!
