D3EDIT beta A03_3g by Atan

Based on the Outrage D3Editor by Gwar followed by the great modifications from Nirvana and
Otherone, I began to modify D3Edit a bit so that it met my suggestions / imagination and
to fix some bugs.
The fixes / improvements below are the result of at least 10 beta builds. These have been
tested on Win98, Win2000 and WinXP.
The beta testers were: Atan, Roadrunner, Fischlein, Dark, Diti, DigiJo, Floyd and DwnUndr.
Thanks to Roadrunner who offered the web space for this project, and Fischlein who started a
new forum for this project.
Thx for DwnUdr who condensed this text file and worked it up for our english speaking folks Image


*** Use this version at your own risk. ***

The improvements are listed in the following sections:
A) Pull-down bars
Image Menu Selections
C) General improvements
D) Bug Fixes

*********************************************************************
New improvements since Otherone's last beta 9

Whoa, that's awesome. How long have you been working on this? Must have took some serious dedication to make sure it got out Christmas day. Anyway, thanks. I can't wait to try this out on my level.
