new Forms Objects to your PowerGenerator screens!! A

|
New
smaller, tidier Title Bars on Toolbox and Props

Most notably needed in
Win95/NT since they like to add all of those extra
buttons etc. to the windows Title Bars. But in helps
in Win3.11 though also!

NEW Setup Options!!! |
Added
option: "Confirm overwrite of existing Screen

forced to keep *.OLD copies of screens if you don't
want to! But if you do…

|
Your Screens directory
no longer needs to get mucked up with *.OLD files!
Increases PBBS startup time too!

The filename of the
screen you are working on, always at your fingertips!
