New in the Jan 2002 Release of the Standalone Version

New Features- Known Issues

The core functionality of the stand-alone software is identical to that of the on-line version. There are a few new features that need explaining:

- Weaving screen: Background color

There are five black/greyish/white tiles on the right hand side of the weaving screen. Click on one of them, then another. Watch what happens.

- Design Screen: all text fields are editable.

You can set the number of cards: 2-100 cards
You can set the number of holes: 3-8 holes

- Design Screen: deleting a card is a two step process:

Click on a card:   this marks a card and a red frame shows
Click on marked card:   this deletes it

You can change your mind after step 1 and either mark a different card or leave "Delete Mode".

- Exiting the Weaving Screen:

You have to use the "Exit" from the "File" menu. The X on the upper right corner of the frame is disabled.

- Microsoft virtual machine ...

Older systems may get the error message:

"Unable to start the application. The Microsoft virtual machine cannot be found. Class not registered."

In this case it makes sense to download the applet of the previous release
