(August 24th, 2000)

* Fixed several bugs with work of presentation in Screen Saver mode
* Fixed old bug with multiple runnings of screen saver under Windows 98
* Fixed small bug with calculation the preliminary size of exe/scr file
+ New installation shell of the program
+ Tested under Windows Millennium
+ Engine code of EXE/SCR presentation is full rewritten

as one sound or picture!)
+ Added object system. Now you can add objects to each slide!
> Supported objects: buttons, hyperlinks, texts, sub-pictures;
> Buttons, hyperlinks and sub-pictures can execute some action:
go to the next, previous, first slide or slide with
specified number, pause presentation, show help message, exit
from presentation, open Web page, write E-mail, execute application;
> All objects contain many parameters for fine customization;
> Each slide can contain hundreds of objects;
> To edit objects of current slide select the necessary picture in
image list and click <Object> button (located at the right-bottom
part of the main window of PicturesToExe);
> In the future we plan to make visual editing of objects and
include support for animated GIFs sub-pictures;
