Here you will find the most recent release of FTMAP for both win32 and unix platforms.

8/12/97 - New version (1.8.1) released.

Unlike many new releases in the computer world, this version is actually FASTER than it's predecessor ! Uses a **much** faster colour compression algorithm. It will also tile background images as requested, use the -w flag to wallpaper the image at its current resolution.

24/9/98 - Not much changed with (1.8.2)

Certain resources in the ftmap init file no longer have default values if they are undefined these are:

• foregroundColor
• leaderColor
• locusColor

They can be commented out in the init file by using the comment character ';' semi-colon or omitted all together.

If a text label has a null value then the label will not be plotted. A null value is a line with nothing on it but a carriage return.

24/9/98 - Repacked both unix and win32 distributions to include the latest exacutable.

• ftmap1-8-2_tar.gz. New re-built base ftmap distribution for Unix (24/9/98).
  
• ftmap_1_8_2.zip. Everything all you Win95/98/NT users need.

I've removed the old distributions from this page, as the new (as of 24/9/98) package should contain everything you need. I still have all the old stuff, so just let me know if you'd like it back...
