A few more feature adds and more bug fixes:

ImPress is a Tcl/Tk based desktop publishing and layout package.
It also supports presentations and it can run inside or
outside of a web browser.

1.1-b7
------
 
o  Documentation changed to use JPEGs to avoid the Unisys noose.
 
o  Added OPTIONS file to distribution to describe the options
   that can be tweaked inside of ImPress (in lieu of having
   a utility to manipulate these).
 
o  Included Tk patch file so Tk can be capable of producing roughly
   WYSIWYG (sure wish this could be part of the Tk core).
   $ cd tk8.3.2/generic
   $ patch -p0 <tkFont-patch.diff
 
o  Improved understanding of what the opened document is when
   doing a "Save As".
 
o  Improved delay time in raising top level windows by explicitly
   raising them above ".".  (doesn't work in all cases...)
 
o  Improved kderc parsing.  Supports KDE2. (Doesn't support
   themes... but I know I can get most of that working...more later)
 
o  Fixed template bug.  Template parsing did not take into account
   that templates are saved with a dpi setting.  Need to push/save existing
   dpi, process template, and pop/restore dpi.
 
o  Fixed bug which causes text window to lower when opening a file
   for data.
 
o  Fixed bug where the FontFamily name is forgotten.... causing the
   Text Requestor to not be able to give the last font setting.
