Text>Draw (Version 1.06, 11 Nov 2002) The text input facilities of Draw itself are fairly primitive for anything other than a simple string. Changing the style within a string, or using sub or superscripts entail a lot of dragging of independent characters into position. This is a simple application to make it easier to enter complex text objects into draw. Up to six different font styles can be included in a single string, with multi-levels of sub/superscript. Chemical formulae, for example, are much easier to enter.

For the past couple of years, the ANT Suite has not been automatically trimming the size of the news history file. This file is where a record of all the news articles downloaded is kept. As the file grows, the most obvious effect is that it takes longer and longer to connect and start to fetch News, as the news fetcher works out which News articles on the server are "new".
One solution is to do the trimming by hand, by loading the news history file into a text editor, and deleting the oldest part before resaving. This becomes a chore, and is often forgotten. The alternative is to write a little utility to do this automatically.
Recently, this problem was raised yet again on the Inet maillist, so I decided to offer to members of that maillist a little program I wrote for myself. Having had no adverse comments, the time is ripe to offer the program to any users of the ANT Suite, and here it is.
