Version 1.2 changes

• Changed the font from MS Sans Serif to Arial to accomodate large fonts. This means that you need to have the Arial font installed to use StoryHarp. The Arial font comes standard with Windows and will be there unless you have removed it.

• Added Start menu shortcut to access StoryHarp in player-only mode.
• Fixed problem linking license button to license page in the help system.
• Made minor changes to the help system.

Version 1.1 changes

• Window positions on startup for a completely new installation now fit on 640X480 screens. You can (as always) resize windows to fit your screen.
• Added "World | Switch to Player" menu item to world editor window.
• Renamed "Session | New for World" menu item to "Session | Start in World".
• Changed web link referenced in register window text field from "/order" to "/order.htm".
• Changed error dialog which appears at startup if Microsoft Agent is not installed. The dialog can now be told not to reappear by checking a checkbox.
• Fixed a memory access exception that could occur when using "World | New" if you had previously edited an existing world and not saved it first.
• Updated the help system to reflect these changes.
• Explained in the help system how to switch between windows and resize windows.
• Change accelerator keys on some menu items.
• Made minor modifications to the GarTrek.wld story.
• Modified the positioning algorithm which places new variables and rules in the map when they are made using the World editor window. The algorithm now uses random positioning around the last object selected (or middle of the map if none is selected). Previously, new items were placed either directly over old ones at the center of the map or a fixed distance below the last selected item. Wizards still use their old positioning algorithm which attempts to place the items they create as structures going down the page.
