[comp.windows.x] Tgif-1.17

william@oahu.cs.ucla.edu (William Cheng) (11/07/90)

I've just put tgif-1.17 in the following places for anonymous ftp:

	expo.lcs.mit.edu	contrib/tgif-1.17.tar.Z
				contrib/tgif-1.16to1.17.Z
	cs.ucla.edu		pub/tgif-1.17.tar.Z
				pub/tgif-1.16to1.17.Z

Here's a short list of added features/bug fixes.

1) Fix bugs to use getwd() to get current working directory.  Thanks to
   Peter Mutsaers (muts@fysaj.fys.ruu.nl) for pointing it out.
2) Add color attributes in color PostScript files.  (Default for
   printing is still non-color.  Type ^#K to switch to color
   PostScript output.)
3) Add dash patterns and change tgif file version to 9.
4) Add 4 more buttons in the panel (choice window).  Now all secondary
   pop-up menus can be poped-up from the panel (except for the edit menu).
5) Add the ``UpdateSymbols()'' feature.  Selected icons can be
   ``brought up-to-date'' with the current representations found
   in the symbol path.  Each new icon is placed so that it is lined
   up at the upper-left corner with the old icon.  This feature is
   accessible by typing ^#U.
6) If one of the font can not be found, a font with a different
   dots-per-inch is automatically chosen.  If both can not be found,
   tgif exits.  (Apparently some machines only support 100dpi fonts
   by default.)

Someone complained that I shouldn't post patches in this newsgroup,
and so I put the patches at the ftp sites as tgif-1.16to1.17.Z.  If you
don't have ftp capability, please send e-mail to william@cs.ucla.edu,
and I'll be happy to send you the patches.

I do not intend to add any more features to tgif in the near future;
however, I'll be posting patches to fix bugs and add minor enhancements.
Please feel free to send me comments and bug reports.
