The latest Demo version of PixelMagician (Beta V1.00.X10) is available via
anonymous ftp from

Machine Name:

	sonata.cc.purdue.edu ( 128.210.15.30 ) or
	nova.cc.purdue.edu (128.210.7.22)

Location:

	/pub/next/2.0-release/demos/PixelMagician1.00.x10.tar


Production Release date is Monday April 13th.
	
	
IMPORTANT NOTES:

If you have been using a previous demo version of PM (e.g., x07, x08, x09), you
MUST delete the ".PixelMagician" file located in your home directory. This can
be done before or after you install x10. If you do not do this the new JPEG
file support will not work.

You may need to manually delete the old PixelMagician.app/PixelMagician before
the Installer application will work properly

After installing the package, the owner must register the program. Other users
will not have the permissions necessary to register the program. This means if
you install the package as root, then you must run the program once as root to
register it. Other users cannot register a program belonging to root. They will
not have the necessary write permission.
