I have finally gotten to a point where I am comfortable releasing v0.3 of TxtWriter. This version has intra-document editing, so you can edit and make changes at other points in the document other than the end. It also has a much spiffier user interface, and dialog boxes for confirmations and alerts. It has an updated extended keyboard and more use of the keys. The F1 key now saves a file and F2 opens the file menu so that all operations, except for delete, can be done via the touch screen.

Thank you. I like to think I'm getting a handle on DS and C programming well enough, so development is getting easier each day. In the beginning, it took me a couple days just to get the keyboard to display and work properly. Now, in a day I can completely rewrite the text display engine. :)

I have a couple other ideas for some games and apps, and I can already see how they need to be written, so I'm thinking dev time on those may only be a couple days to a week. :)

I also have another app just waiting to be completed, as soon as I figure out how to write a bitmap to the CF card.
