Subject: Pattern Manager 1.5.2


With the myriad of other desktop pattern installers out there, why
another desktop pattern manager? Simple: none of them had the features
that I wanted.

Pattern Manager—"PatMan"—displays patterns with their names in a
user-sizable grid, installs patterns into the System File, and sets the
utilities pattern (which other desktop pattern installers don't do). It
fully supports drag and drop between files, the ScrIt has the best PICT
importer available, and, remarkable for a desktop pattern manager, it
has resizeable windows. It also has a nifty pattern information window,
and can change the background pattern periodically. Pattern Manager
ships as a fat binary, and so should run on all Macs running system 7.0
and higher.

New in version 1.5.2:
- Pattern Rotater should work much better now.
- Various minor fixes for compatability with MacOS 8
- A new e-mail address.

Previous versions of PatMan have been archived in different places, but
I think somewhere in the gui heirarchy is most appropriate, probably
near the Textures folder, as that is what PatMan works with.
