$WW,1$$FG,5$Notes on upgrading:

$FG,2$* Use the $LK,"R","MN:R"$("old","new") to rename items if I change them.

* You are strongly advised not to make statically compiled modules.  (Static modules produce a .BIZ file which you $LK,"Load","MN:Load"$() while dynamicly compiled code is just $FG,4$#include$FG,2$d.)   
$FG$
$IV,1$----08/16/07 02:38:03----$IV,0$
* Added faster line clipping.

$IV,1$----08/15/07 20:51:55----$IV,0$
* Fixed feature of scan codes--sc.u4[1] is unconsolidated code. 
* Made so you can nestle $FG,2$AutoFile$FG$s.
* Modified $LK,"Load","MN:Load"$()... no recognizable changes
* Modified $FG,4$cout$FG$ no recognizable changes
* Made $FG,4$PUSH_C_REGS$FG$ and $FG,4$POP_C_REGS$FG$ and made use of it.  Fewer regs are pushed in many places.
 
$IV,1$----08/14/07 14:35:33----$IV,0$
* Fixed Ltf bug on PAGE DOWN/UP
* Added $LK,"LTFF_DO_FULL_UPDATE","MN:LTFF_DO_FULL_UPDATE"$ to prevent flicker if you like.
* $LK,"LTFF_DONT_SWAP_OUT","MN:LTFF_DONT_SWAP_OUT"$, related to swap-outs during $LK,"PrintF","MN:PrintF"$().  Made swap-out less.

$IV,1$----08/13/07 08:38:18----$IV,0$
* Worked-out scheme to keep from turning preemption off during window updates.
* Added $FG,2$preempt$FG$ parameter to $LK,"LtfUpdateWinJoin","MN:LtfUpdateWinJoin"$().
* Modified poll kbdmouse to spawn separate task when winupdates take too long.

$IV,1$----08/13/07 01:24:12----$IV,0$
* Modified $LK,"WinSync","MN:WinSync"$() to make it more useful.
* R("nearest_sub_GrElem", "nearest_sub_grelem");
* R("cur_sub_GrElem", "cur_sub_grelem");
* Added $LK,"::/LT/Demo/Graphics/Pick.CPZ","FI:::/LT/Demo/Graphics/Pick.CPZ"$ showing how to use distance to cursor calculations in graphics routines.
$IV,1$
----08/12/07 01:59:17----$IV,0$

* Changed B RAM drive size on install CD.

$IV,1$----08/09/07 22:13:41----$IV,0$

$IV,1$----08/08/07 05:10:27----$IV,0$
* Moved flags in $LK,"TssStruct","MN:TssStruct"$ and $LK,"CPUStruct","MN:CPUStruct"$, eliminated CPU preemptive flag (It's now a task flag, only.)
* Made $LK,"Preempt","MN:Preempt"$() function inline
* Added compiler opt -- fewer 0x40 bytes
* Fixed $LK,"::LT/Demo/GameStarters/Swing.CPZ","FI:::LT/Demo/GameStarters/Swing.CPZ"$

* Improved fault handling
* Added compiler optimizations
* Added TSSf_AWAITING_MSG to improve performance.

$IV,1$----07/25/07 03:40:49----$IV,0$
* $BK,1$WARNING:$BK,0$ Your $LK,"Auto","MN:Auto"$() entries to configure builds must be changed.  I cleaned-up the $LK,"AddDrives","MN:AddDrives"$() prompts, getting rid of "Custom".  All $FG,2$ATA$FG$ and $FG,2$ATAPI$FG$ types require numbers.

$IV,1$----07/24/07 21:55:58----$IV,0$
* Fixed graphic pen_width brushes.  It slightly affects picture appearance.  You might need to increase pen_width.
$ID,2$$FG,5$To convert old pictures...
$FG$1) Boot the old LoseThos version
2) Press CTRL-R when on top of the picture
3) Select "Insert"
4) Select "Convert to Bitmap".  If you don't want it drawn on a background, select "transparent bitmap."
5) Stretch-out a box around the image
6) Click "End"
7) Click "End" again
8) Save your picture in a file
9) Boot the new version of LoseThos

$FG,5$Another option you might try$FG$ 
1) Press CTRL-R
2) Select "Edit"
3) find the "Width" entries and change the far right numbers.
4) Press ESC
5) Select "End"
6) Save your picture in a file
