We started shipping Actor 2.0 on the 31st (pretty much). So it has hit the streets. As for what the features are, there are plenty of new ones and enhancements to previous features. The new features are: -A static memory swapping system that basically gives the programmer 1 Meg of memory in which to store static objects (this includes code). -Printer support (included with this are routines that will take a "screenshot" and dump it to the printer. -Bitmap clipboard support -User defined primitives -Dynamic dialog box creation -Dynamic menu creation -A whole lot of little things Basically, those are the major additions to the product. We've also improved the CStructures, edit controls, added search and replace features to edit windows, and made other improvements to existing classes. It's a cool system. -- "Organized fandom is composed of a bunch of nitpickers with a thing for trivial pursuit." -Harlan Ellison
