                             History of !PlaceIt
                             -------------------

1.00  First version only given to friends to test and play with

1.01  Stopped flicker of screen when clicked on background
      Worked out whether to send DataLoad or DataDave message at end of drag
      operation

1.02  Decided not to complain if application didn't reply to DataLoad message
      as doesn't bother us anyway and only resulted in unwanted error

1.03  Made some improvement to reduce the amount of flicker when removing
      icons and dragging them about the backdrop
      Stopped icons having filled backgrounds. This allows the icons to be put
      closer together without obscuring each other
      Thanks to Merlin Hughes for his comments

1.03a Background window was one pixel too small in both dimensions. This was
      pointed out by Roger Wilson and thanks goes to him. This has needless
      to say now been fixed

1.04  Fixed bug associated with icon selected by menu. Thanks to Michael (no
      surname) for pointing this out. Why do I seem to be thanking so many
      people these days?

1.05  Added two new features. These are open viewer(s) and the directory
      changer. Because of these additions I have had to change to config
      file format. A program is included in the directory to update the
      configuration files which is automatically ran by !PlaceIt if need
      be

1.05a Bug fix to do with telling the application what filetype the file is.
      This bug was a consequence of the additions made to 1.05

1.06  Introduced restore backdrop menu entry and fixed a few minor bugs.
      Thanks to Howard for his idea of the restore backdrop menu entry

1.07  Added the locked option. Made menu stay open if clicked over greyed
      menu option. It used to crash if one restored the backdrop when there
      were no sprites on the backdrop. This has been fixed. That bug was
      reported by Slaine

1.08  When sent a dataload message I forgot to change the message type and
      replied with a dataload message. The filer didn't notice that this
      happened but Sticky did. This has now been fixed. Appologies to Brian
      for thinking the fault was in Sticky

1.09  Put most of the messages and all the menu entries of PlaceIt in a
      message file (thanks to Ran Mokady of Acorn for explaining how the
      swis of the MessageTrans module) for easier translation into a foreign
      language. The only messages that are not in the message are the
      messages that occur before the message file has been openned (for
      example Not enough memory to load the message file). Would anyone
      translating the file into a foreign language send me a copy (see the
      !Help file for the address)
