Uploader: elena@elenadomain.it
Author: elena@elenadomain.it
Type: gfx/fract
Requires: MorphOS 3.9+ (MAY work under older MOS versions, not guaranteed)
Version: 2.0 BETA 1
** WARNING: THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL CHANGES SINCE THE LAST RELEASE 1.3 OF 2004, **
** THEREFORE YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO READ THE HISTORY.TXT INSIDE THIS ARCHIVE !! **
THIS VERSION WON'T BE UPDATED ANY MORE - GOODBYE
In 2017 I decided to bring ZX to a new life before closing any amiga/fractals
related chapter FOREVER.
Initially I wasn't mean to release it being still in BETA stage.
Eventually I decided to be kind and release it anyway because it was a pity keeping
it "in my drawer" forever.
Despite it was used regularly at those times it may still contain bugs or things
to fix or to improve. Also I can't be sure that it works flawlessly on Hw/Sw
configuration different than mine (PowerMac G5 with MorphOS 3.9)
Please do NOT contact me, do NOT report any bugs or anything else.
As I said I won't work at this any more being from then on involved with more
important and productive projects.
Use at your own risk. You are alone.
WHAT'S NEW SINCE 1.3 ?
Simply too many things to be listed here. The most important are:
-Brand new GUI with modern look and full 32 bit support.
ZoneXplorer no longer needs ReAction or any other third party components which aren't
already part of vanilla MorphOS distributions
-Many bugs of v1.3 and incompatibility issues with newer MorphOS versions fixed
-New highly improved and fully automated module editing and creation system
-Support for 68K architecture is now dropped, I'm sorry folks
If you are already a former ZoneXplorer user/fan, you are STRONGLY ADVISED to
consult History.txt found inside this archive for a complete list !!!
HARDWARE/SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
-Any platform capable of running MorphOS 3.9+ (MAY work under older MOS releases,
but I can't test it any longer)
-24/32 bit graphics card with 24/32 bit desktop
-Ambient strongly recommended
INSTALLATION
-Simply unpack/copy the WHOLE archive to the place you prefer
-If you plan to use ZoneXplorer regularly and/or to create custom Modules, you are
STRONGLY ADVISED to also make a permanent ZX: assign to the program dir, and to copy
the content of InstallData to your SYS: partition. This will install default Ambient
icons with file associations and MIME types for ZoneXplorer Modules, Module Sources and
Zones
