Hello,

JPTUI 3.8  is now available for beta testing.

JPTUI is an object-oriented textual user interface. Designed for C++,
it provides a simple to use application programming
interface.

JPTUI is available for DJGPP 2 and Borland C++ 4 and is completely
free.

You can always download the latest version of the JPTUI library from
my home page : www.teaser.fr/~jpdelprat

You can also download any non-beta version from any simtelnet site :
- from the pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2tk directory for the DJGPP
version, 
- from the pub/simtelnet/msdos/cpluspls directory for the Borland
version. 

At last, you can download it from the x2ftp site, but it always takes
a long time before it arrives there.


You can always contact me at : jpdelprat AT teaser DOT fr



New in JPTUI 3.8 (15-Feb-96)

New features : 
 - JPTUI can be run in a Dos box under Windows 
 - JPTUI can use the standard font 
 - the message box can emit a sound when it opens 
 - TTextZone can read text containing some tab characters 
 - the sources of FileSelectionBox() and MessageBox() are provided
with the library 
   
Fixed bugs : 
- in the previous version, the TPasswordEditZone class was missing in
the Borland library 
- rewrote the kbhit() function which fails when the user hits CTRL-S
and pauses the application 
- some callbacks in TLists and TTextZones (and derived classes)
weren't not called in some cases 
- very old and numerous bugs in TTextZones including copy, horizontal
scrollbar... 
- minor bugs fixed 
  
Changes : 
- rewrote some routines of TTextZones 
- rewrote the PlaySound routine to make it easier to add new sounds
(send me some !) 
- smoothed the beginnings of scrollings 
- files are now open in shared mode 
- when the user opens then closes a menu, the message in the info bar
of the window is no longer lost 
- when you call TWindow::m_open() and the window is already open, the
window becomes active (and is brought to front)
