  Lasertank Utility Suite by
Harvey Solomon has been updated
(Lt-us.zip)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Available in the More Downloads/Applications Section of the Lasertank web site.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the latest LaserTank Utilities Suite (Version 10.1.0).
The following changes were made:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Modified the layouts of, and texts in, some the dialog boxes to better fit the default system font as rendered by Windows 11 (slightly longer than by previous versions).

2. At least 900 pixels vertical resolution (vise 768) is now required to fully display all of the dialog boxes generated by the LTUS programs.

3. Changed the 'view the Clipboard' options in LT-USInt.exe and LTCopyAL.exe (because, I just discovered, that the Windows Clipboard viewer application, CLIPBRD.EXE, was dropped after Windows XP).

Enjoy,
Harvey

 The LaserTank Update Levels and High Scores Utility

(LTUpdate.zip)

by Harvey Solomon has been revised

Donald,

Attached is the latest LaserTank Update Data Utility (Version 6.2.0). The following changes were made:

1. Changed the name (again) of this utility to the even more succinct "LaserTank Update Data Utility" (LTUDU).
2. Modified the layouts of, and texts in, some the dialog boxes to better fit the default system font as rendered by Windows 11 (slightly wider than previous versions).
3. Changed the view the Clipboard options (because, I just discovered, that the Windows Clipboard Viewer application, CLIPBRD.EXE, was dropped after Windows XP).
4. At least 900 pixels vertical resolution (vise 768) is now required to fully display all of the dialog boxes generated by the LTUDU program.
5. Removed the "Search By Section Title" section of ReadMeUDU.TXT.

Enjoy,
Harvey (DrWiseKing)
