SpeedyFinder7 v1.5.3 - additional release notes
 
Important Information - read this!
 
I initially released v1.0 to 1.4 locally within the Sydney region. Version 1.5
was uploaded to sumex-aim and has since gone all over the world. This has
completely taken me aback. The InterNet was a completely foreign concept to me.
I am still learning how to use a UNIX OS and failing miserably.

I understand that people were having trouble getting bug reports to me because
they saw no recognisable InterNet address. I hope that the new document fixes
this problem as I have provided two InterNet addresses (the second actually
mails AppleLink). Thus instead of users complaining madly over the network and
not doing anything about it, you can hassle me (but not all at once about the
same problem, please).

I think you should also know that this Control Panel was originally an Extension
without an interface. I only put that interface in for my benefit. In fact, the
whole idea was really written for my benefit. Despite the fact that many users
complained that v1.5.2 did not work with other applications and caused dialogue
boxes to be misplaced, those problems never occurred during its development on
my Macintosh (they still don't). I also think you should know that I am in no
way obliged to fix those problems that I had never encountered. But because I'm
such a nice guy :-) I have chosen to do so and to implement ideas suggested by
other people as well. I call this support for you. How about you show some
support for me and send that recommended fee of Aus$20.00 to me?

On a lighter note, it is week 9 of 15 of the second semester for me. I will be
overloaded with examination pressure in the coming 6 weeks. However, I will
continue to support this product (assuming you support me; and why not because
this is such a RcoolS Control Panel) and will also continue to reply to mail for
the next three weeks. After that, I will enter examination wind-up and may or
may not choose to reply to mail. You can continue to send me mail and I will log
it and reply after the completion of my examinations (early November). Sorry,
that's just the way it is! That period will be about 5 weeks duration. If the
bug is urgent then label it so, but don't abuse that privilege!

If you are installing this over an older version, please do not open the Control
Panel before you restart (or hassle with mail about bugs if you have). You
should restart before opening the new versions Control Panel. This is because I
haven't implemented a separate preferences file yet.

I hope that this version addresses most if not all of the conflicts and problems
that people have been reporting to me (which by the way I do thank you guys
for). That's the reason for the lengthy delay in release. Also, if you've
received advice from me or from somebody else to switch to 32-bit mode to solve
the dialogue box problem, that's no longer necessary in this release. You can
switch back to 24-bit mode. If there's an idea you would like to see implemented
and I haven't done so then continue to hassle me. Also, if there's a problem I
haven't fixed then bug me, or my bugs will bug you!
 
Thanks,
Victor Tan (13-Sep-92)
