Hi Guys,

You will find the probably most shameless plug ever posted on this newsgroup.

We have uploaded Bernie v1.2 last Wednesday. If you haven't tuned in on Bernie
on your Mac, this is probably what you have been waiting for.

The new version features:

- support for .NIB images (protected 5.25" software)
- faster & better video driver
- ultrahot, megacool InkMeister Pro for graphic cross-platform printing! (comes
as a preview - not finished yet but major parts working, including text
printing)
- 60Hz synch for faster Macs (self-configuring)
- improved automatic mouse switching
- automatic keyboard switching (compatibility with AppleWorks macros)
- Appearance Manager
- nice Bernie->Finder switching from within Power Mode (shift-F8)
- bug fixes

We have also launched a new mailing list focused on emulation with Bernie.
Everyone can join in. I'm mentioning this being fully aware that the list is
currently down :-}, but Joe Nowak, the list sponsor, is feverishly working on a
fix. Once the list is up and running again, it will possibly continue where it
left off, namely at 30+ messages a day. This one delivers! (Oh yes, Digests are
available, too...)

Inkmeister Pro is our new proprietary, fully GS/OS-compliant printing engine.
It allows you to print from within any application that uses standard OS
printing stuff to print to your Macintosh printer. Text, graphics, colors - no
problems. The current release is a preview, and certain elements are not yet
implemented. Text and basic objects come through just fine, and it looks quite
spectacular.

More info is here:

Mailing list infos are at http://www.magnet.ch/emutech/Bernie/List/. We will
let you know on that web page when it's back at work.

Keep on emulating!
