NewWorld3D Control update 1.12
This update does not add any new features.
For compatibility reasons with some development systems, we have changed the poseNum property of the AddCreature and MoveCreature methods from variable type Byte to type Integer.
Additionally, many NewWorld3D developers expressed their difficulty distributing Internet Explorer-based and VBA-based NewWorld3D applications because of the requirement of the license file.
Therefore, we have decided to remove the license file requirement from the control. This update allows the control to execute within an environment without the license key. The updater uses the same password as the last updater.

The NWX Visual Editor is a supplement to the NWXMake utility included with the Construction Kit. The Visual Editor includes:

- Import BMP format files directly into the NWX file (NWXMake supports PCX)
- Cut, Copy, and Paste images within the file
- Click one imageto select, then click another to swap the two images
New manual revision includes:
- All NWDB (NewWorld database) commands
- Added sections and updated index

NewWorld3D version 1.1 (March 98)
Version 1.1 includes NewWorldDB, a built-in database for storing properties and characteristics about the world and creatures. This powerful new addition allows tracking of properties within an application without a separate database engine (such as Visual Basic DAO). The engine itself adds only around 40K (uncompressed) to your final installer!
