UltraCard Release 1.4.1 Final Read-Me file. This file contains additions to the UltraCard documentation that describe features that were not included in the documentation. 1. UltraCard now supports overscan mode. The standard Overscan screen sizes supported by DPAINT-III are included in the file resolution requester when you create a new stack. If you are using MOREROWS (a public domain utility) the standard sizes (normally 320x200/400 and 640x200/400) are adjusted to the sizes specified in your MOREROWS command line. In order to provide the ability to create stacks in arbitrary resolutions we have added a new statement, NEW.STACK, which you can execute from the CHAT window, that allows you to create a new stack and specify the width, height and depth (in # of bit planes). This allows both the MOREROWS user to create standard size stacks without rebooting as well as the construction of SEVERE overscan stacks. There are two new GLOBAL variables that are associated with the overscan feature: OVERSCAN.X OVERSCAN.Y These contain the values of the offsets to the standard screen position so that overscan images can be positioned in the center of your monitor. 2. New MODIFY mode cursor. 3. You are now asked, unless you set the global EXPERT.MODE to 1, every time you leave modify mode if you want to save your changes. This does NOT undo IFF import or palette changes. 4. RANDOM function, generates numbers between 0 and 1 5. INT function, returns integer part (useful for use with RANDOM) 6. Three new global variables that control the colors in the SHOW.MSG requester: REQUESTER.TEXT.COLOR REQUESTER.OUTLINE.COLOR REQUESTER.BACKGROUND.COLOR 7. Editor Additions There are now two new menu items, Paste Global and Paste Property that allow you to paste from the global variable names and property names instead of having to type them. 8. Speed improvements We have made MAJOR speed improvements in release 1.4.1 (even more than in 1.4). We finally found the bottleneck in the code and removed it. 9. Modify mode redraw We have changed the modify mode to NOT redraw the entire screen every time an object is moved. To redraw the screen press either F2 or select REDRAW from the EDIT menu in modify mode.
