If you have any suggestions then I would be very grateful for them. I
want DrWimp to have the features and ways of implementation that
people want.

Many many many thanks to Eddie Lord for redesigning the manual layout
so it was more amenable to A5 printing and hole punching, proof
reading the manual, and providing many valued suggestions.

Thanks to Ernie Ong for providing lots of suggestions, including
adding the function menu to !Fnc'n'Prc, sorting functions into
alphabetical order and allowing multiple info files to be used. Thanks
also for suggesting a method of allowing FNuser_saveicon to set three
icon numbers for save windows, which is now implemented.

Thanks to Guy Bartle for providing the impetus to allow users to act
on mode changes, and add a function to get the screen size. Also for
getting me to make loading with double-clicks work and push ahead with
releasing version 3.00. Also thanks for raising the issue of switching
delays on and off during polling, and prompting the writing of
PROCwimp_singlepollidle. Thanks for drawing my attention to the fact
that the upgrading file for version 3.00 had the omission of a couple
of lines that went with FNwimp_loadsprites and for giving me the idea
of FNwimp_getscreenres. More thanks for the majority of the additions
and bug fixes for version 3.50, which are: adding
FNwimp_getwindowvisibleOS, FNwimp_getwindowvisiblescreen, FNuser_quit,
PROCwimp_quit, PROCwimp_bindpointer, PROCwimp_releasepointer,
PROCwimp_updatewindow, PROCwimp_scroll, PROCuser_prepare,
PROCwimp_resizewindowvisible, PROCwimp_setpointerposition,
FNwimp_getpointerposition, enhancing FNuser_loaddata, FNuser_savedata,
fixing a bug with PROCwimp_singlepollidle and FNwimp_getpapersize,
fixing a bug with !Toolbar example application, and pane positioning.
Also many many thanks for updating the manual to accommodate all these
new features and changes (which I know is no small task!), updating
the history and upgrading files, and basically doing all my work for
me! :)

Thanks to Ray Favre for pointing out that save windows don't
automatically grab the input focus like they should, and for raising a
point about the error handling. Thanks also for reminding me of the
bug in !Linker and for pointing out lots of errors and typos in the
manual and Func'n'Proc. Thanks too for pointing out the bug in
PROCwimp_recreatemenu, and the redraw bug in PROCwimp_rendersprite,
FNwimp_getspritesize and PROCwimp_render for sprites. Also thanks for
pointing out the problem with Linker causing large programs to exceed
the maximum allowed line number. Thanks for pointing out the bug in
CodeTemps with regard to button types. Thanks for pointing out the bug
in the function FNwimp_gettextsize and FNwimp_gettextsizeh, and
various typos in the Func'n'Proc function listings and manual. Thanks
for pointing out the bug whereby drawfiles with thick lines cannot be
printed.

Thanks to Tim Nicholson for pointing out that in section 10 I had
refered to PROCuser_loaddata when it is infact FNuser_loaddata, and
for also pointing out I had used pathname$ in Fnc'n'Prc and section 3
of the manual when elsewhere it is path$. Thanks also for suggesting
vertical sliders and for pointing out the missing THEN in the internal
PROCwimp_decodemenuentry.

Thanks to Keith Raven for pointing out to me the problem with not
being able to call DrWimp functions in FNuser_savedata, in order to
implement complex file saves.

Thanks to Alan Cook for suggesting the FNwimp_reinitmessages function.

Thanks to Martin Ward for providing a simple way of improving the
performance of applications.

Thanks to Jim Hawkins for providing a new version of his
UnCrunch/CrunchFix utility for distribution with DrWimp.

Someone pointed out the dragging bug in the Saver example application,
but I can't remember who! If it was you then please let me know so I
can credit you. :)

After 1st May 1999

---------------------------------------------

Continued thanks to Guy Bartle and Eddie Lord for being part of the
preview team. (Guy also offered several new wimp-functions, most of
which have been included in Version 3.53.)

Thanks to Mark Scholes for many ideas received, many of which are in
Version 3.53. (Also to Mark for pointing out the silly error in
Version 3.53 which made Version 3.53a necessary!)

Many thanks to Harriet Bazley and Keith Wright for offering a
StrongHelp version of !Fnc'n'Prc - and further thanks to Harriet
Bazley for providing a Freeware utility to produce the StrongHelp
version automatically from !Fnc'n'nPrc.

---------------------------------------------

Continued thanks to Mark Scholes for several improvements suggested.

Thanks to Dick Alstein for improvements suggested.

---------------------------------------------

Thanks to Michael Curtis and Chris Rogers for several suggestions
which led to many of the changes in this version.

Thanks to Harriet Bazley for pointing out bugs in !Fabricate and
!CodeTemps - and also for pointing out inconsistencies in
'FNuser_loaddata' and 'FNwimp_createwindow'.

---------------------------------------------

Thanks to Harriet Bazley for upgrading utility to produce the
StrongHelp version automatically from !Fnc'n'nPrc.

Thanks to Chris Rogers for 'generic' routine to return OS Version
number.

Thanks to Steve Wyatt (via archive-on-line) for helping with rendering
of sprite colours.
