Re: LOGO-L> a problem with MSWLogo ver 6.2

[George Mills <mills@softronix.com>]

I could not see a difference between 6.1 and 6.2 either
on my AGP graphics system. But I did find a problem which
may effect performance on some machines that have graphics
cards that are slow relative to their CPU performance. The
description of the fix is below and it is available for
download.

   o Added for 6.2a, Fixed performance problem for when a WINDOWCREATE
or
     DIALOGCREATE exists. When controls such as BUTTONCREATE are in the
     graphics screen MSWLogo will use a different method for drawing to
     make sure it does not draw on top of the controls. The speed
difference
     will vary depending on the speed of your graphics card. The problem
     here was MSWLogo mistook a WINDOWCREATE or DIALOGCREATE as a
control
     in the graphics screen and unnecessarily enabled the alternate
     (sometimes slower) drawing mode. If you want blazing speed keep
your
     controls in seperate windows.

Let me know if it fixes it for you because it was hard for
me to test.
