1. PNG MNG Construction Set 7 Revision 6
_______________________________________________________________________
PNG MNG Construction Set 7 has been updated. This release:
- Adds Convert to RGB with Alpha to the Chunk / Convert submenu. PNG
MNG Construction Set will now convert images and animations having
lower color depths to full 32-bit alpha, with transparency preserved.
This feature is exceedingly handy for converting the PNG and MNG
weird-beard transparency structures to graphics and animations that
other, less worldly applications can import and display correctly.
For everyone who's asked how to accomplish this, it's waiting for you.
- Updates the MNG viewer to improve its playback timing accuracy and
address a few cosmetic issues for marginal source material.
- Fixes a problem with the Preview window in Animation Wizard.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.
You can download PNG MNG Construction Set 7 from:

_______________________________________________________________________
Screen Saver Construction Set 7 has been updated. This release:
- Adds Windows' internal support for MP3 sound files. You can use MP3s
anywhere in a Screen Saver Construction Set document where WAV files
work. Note that the Files of Type field near the bottom of the Open
window for Insert Sound now includes an entry for MP3.
- Addresses a number of user interface issues.
- Addresses a number of issues in the Print function, including some
page metrics and a problem with the Print window that previously
prevented it from successfully finding the default printer under some
builds of Windows.
- Addresses a number of issues in the Applet editor.
- Updates the document runtime to implement a number of performance
improvements.
- Speeds up the object display logic.
- Addresses several problems in the Favorites window.

developers never really stop meddling with.
