  Ascii Pics-v2.01 is now here. Not too much of an update, just a few
little bits have been played around with.

NEW in v2.01
-------------

- Can now copy the current screen (ALL 500 lines of it) onto the Spare
  Screen with a click of the mouse or press of a button.

- Cutting a Block from the screen using the Right Mouse Button now erases
  the block from screen as it is picked up.

- Box Mode (in Solid AND Hollow Mode) is now MUCH faster.

- TAB characters are now converted properly into space characters when
  loaded.


NOTE
----

  If my posting was missed before (I think the Subject line screwed up and
so you wouldn't have noticed it) then I will say it again here.

  ASCII PICS IS NO LONGER BEING MAILED STRAIGHT TO USERS. I WILL NOW BE
POSTING IT IN alt.ascii-art AND rec.arts.ascii SO LOOK FOR IT THERE WITH
THE SUBJECT LINE Util: Ascii Pics-vX.XX (for whatever version)
  I will probably mail a message before it anyway, to tell you what is new
in it.

  The next posting will be the UUencoded file.

  Have fun!

BUG REPORT
----------

  I appear to have found a tiny bug within v2.01. It will not load up your
first picture. Instead the requester will appear, you select a picture, and it
will appear again. After that things will work normally.
I don't know why this happens, but I will try and fix it for the next update.
