The following are a list of corrections and enhancements to ACORNS
6.0. The new load is available at the ACORNS download site as of
12/18/2010. The web-site is http://cs.sou.edu/~harveyd/acorns

1) The Hear and Click lesson setup scrolled to the front of the audio
signal after a picture was attached. The latest load keeps the display
at the current position.
2) In the Sound Editor, Hear and Click lessons, Story Book lessons,
and Hear and respond lessons, you can now adjust an audio selection
without clearing the previous selection. Simply press the mouse and
drag to adjust the old selection. A mouse click will reset the
selection as before.
3) The Internet Explorer version 8.0 requires a "mark of the web" to
be included for web pages with active content to display on a local
computer. The new load automatically adds this mark to web pages that
ACORNS creates.
4) A few text messages were modified in the latest ACORNS load which
are more understandable. The text displayed at the bottom of Hear and
Respond Story Book setup panels were previously incorrect. These are
corrected in the new load.
5) Some input dialogs could disappear if users clicked outside their
input panels. This is corrected in the new load.
6) The sound editor previously could fail if certain groups of icons
were clicked when nothing was recorded.
7) Hear and Respond lessons did not preserve the annotation changes
when switching between lessons in a file. This required users to click
on the save option before switching. This is no longer required.
