FTC beta 15 preview 11

Beta 15 preview 11 has been uploaded to the web site.

With this preview I spent a lot of time nailing down the scaling
implementation. As a side benefit of doing the scaling work, I
discovered ways to optimize the FTC to gain another 4x speed
increase over previous previews. So compared to beta 14, beta 15
is about 10x faster.

This preview has been run through the regression tests on the Mac.
I will now go run the regression tests on a Windows machine and if
all tests pass, then this preview will be considered the final
release for software for version 1.0. So now is the time to report
any bugs you find.

Here's what is new with this preview...

- Fixed scaling of the selection color area. It should now be
consistent across all scaling factors.

- Fixed a problem with undoing paragraph background colors.

- Made certain menu items unselectable for resize mode and in read
only mode and in the demo application and made the demo FTGraph
read only aware.

- Fix command-option-shift-arrow key combination to be
control-alt-shift-arrow under windows.

- Put in some more internal range checking.

- Greatly speeded up very large paragraph typing speed.

- Enhanced the scale menu in the demo application.

- Removed the ability to change the scale when you are in edit
mode (also FTEditField). It is ambiguous what it means to scale
the display when the output size is determined by the display
itself.

- Fixed a problem with margin guides not drawing correctly in
normal view mode when the size of the page exceeded a certain
amount.

- Enhanced the demo application to not show the toggle horizontal
scrollbar menu item when in edit mode.

- Added a BitDepth property to the FormattedText class to allow
you to set the bit depth of all internal pictures. There are two
possible values of 32 or 16 bits. If you set the bit depth to 16
you will see a slight speed increase.

- Removed the "UseQuickDraw" property since I am not going to
support OS 9 and it is an unnecessary complication. If you use it
under OS 9 it should default to quickdraw without modification.

- Other minor updates from regression testing.
