Bruce The Presentation Tool, release 1.2

[Anthony Baxter]

Bruce the Presentation Tool is for Python programmers who are tired 
of fighting with presentation tools. In its basic form it allows 
text, code or image pages and even interactive Python sessions. It 
uses PyGame and is easily extensible to add new page types.

Changes in 1.2:

    * added control-F to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode 
      (X11 only)
    * added ShellInterpreterPage and SpawnPage
    * added socrates.py driver script - see doc/socrates.txt 
      for more
    * many, many new features added - highlighting of code pages, 
      timed auto-advancing of pages, simple syntax for text page 
      effects, autotyping enhancements... and much more. See 
      doc/socrates.txt for more.

It runs on Unix, MacOS and Windows, and requires pygame.
