      Avara™ 1.0.2 Notes
      ------------------
      Change history:

      Version 1.0.2 -- Released 10/07/03

      -- Mouse position resetting was reduced to improve compatibility with MacOS X Classic emulation.

      -- The menu bar is hidden during game play to prevent clicks on the dock.

      -- A huge window is created behind all others to prevent clicks on background applications.

      -- The keyboard editor window no longer flickers under some OS versions.

      .....

      :<) ^_^ 😞 :<( heheheheh

    • Thank you very much! I definately appreciate it, as it won't be too long before I'm going to have to switch to OSX, and the mouse issue was worrying me. I'm glad to hear that ya'll still care enough to update when necessary, infrequent though those updates may be.

      Pinky, are you pondering what I am pondering?
      I think so, Brain, but if they called them sad meals, kids wouldn't buy them.

      Because several Avara players asked Juri to update it so it would run correctly in classic under OSX, and he was nice enough to do so.

    • Thank you so much!!!!
      Do you think this means Avara will be played more often now?

      The box said Windows 95 or greater...so why doesn't it work on a Mac?

      I'd doubt it. On a side note, I used Avara 1.0.2 to make Avara AfterShock 1.5b6 work correctly under OSX, but since I have no way to contact the AfterShock team, I can't get permission to distribute it.

      Oh, and apparrently, there are sound problems with Avara and OSX 10.3 (at least thats what Krow says).
