I have uploaded mildly updated versions of both Bumper (v1.3b) and
SoftText(v1.5). 
Bumper is a program that lets you preview animations from a sequence of images.
It had a little bug that made it impossible to view images starting with a
zero-numbered file.
SoftText makes a blob-object from TrueTypeFont text. I've added the possibillity
to do some horizontal spacing and to make it easier to include extended
characters (ASCII-characters).

I have a habit of not adding any documentation or helpfiles to my programs. If
you think I really should let me know and perhaps I'll be able to convince
myself.

Labdien!

  You are strongly encouraged to document your programs. Bumper seems self
explanatory but giving a good overview of soft text would be a good idea.

It appears I built in a rudimentary help-function some time ago. If you
right-click on a button or something a little hint-screen will pop up. I totally
forgot about that. 
Anyways, I tried coming up with some documentation for SoftText. It's not much,
since the whole procedure is rather straightforward but it might shed some
light. I added it to the latest version as a HTML-file.

Have fun!

Remco

BTW anyone actually succesfull in his or her attempts to use the program is
cordially invited to send some results so I can have some more examples on the
webpage.
