I uploaded version 1.1 of FlWriter. You are welcome to take a look at it.

Download FlWriter

Since version 1.0 was regarded as too big I now have split FlWriter into a basic package and an extension package to reduce the download size. The basic package is 3.6 MB and the extension package 7.2 MB. I also made FlWriter use its own routine to generate postscript files so I could omit HTMLDOC with its fonts. That reduced the package size by 5.8 MB. Also the basic package contains only a few fonts while the rest is in the extension package.

The major enhancment is that the new version now supports to insert images in the text and print those in color.

The code has been changed so long file support is no longer needed, FlWriter will just use short file names.

There is a virtual keyboard now to enter symbols plus characters of different languages. For Arabic characters I enabled optional right to left text orientation.

The new postscript routine not only allows to print images but improves WYSIWYG regarding TABs and page breaks too.

Finally I added top/bottom margins to the page setup and removed the flicker that appeared when moving the cursor.

Further details are in the updated readme.htm file.
