Another step down the path

This release is a fairly minor one, but addresses a couple issues. Support for minimizing the Deja IIx window has been added, as well as the ability to automatically pause/resume Deja IIx when it is miniaturized.

There was an additional tweak that will help some folks with older video cards. For some reason, it the older cards did not display the window correctly. The new Display preference allows you to overcome this issue, although full support for transparency suffers as a result.

The one big outstanding issue is the printing. I'm still working on getting printing to match as closely as possible, the behavior on an Apple II. I sort of broke some of the printing in the process of making changes, but hope to get it back up and running again in the near future.

Inching closer to a real release

Deja IIx continues to inch ever closer to a final release. Beta 6 addresses some file issues, namely the disappearance of file 13.

As a bonus (and we all like bonuses), Deja IIx now handles aliases in the ProDOS Volumes folder. This means you can (once again) store your files wherever you want. Just create an alias to the folder (or volume) and place it in the ProDOS Volumes folder (inside the Deja IIx folder). Presto - AppleWorks will see it.

The only major outstanding issues are related to printing. Printing (to a Mac printer) is still in a state of flux, so please try not to count on the functionality just yet. I'm working on getting the Mac printer pagination to match AppleWorks' pagination.
