    Thanks for this update and for continuously supporting freewrap! It is still my favourite wrapping tool on Windows.

    Hi Dennis,

    I hope you will read this. I have update my app to freewrap 6.75 now and the new zvfs system gave me some trouble. I think, the freewrap documentation is not always clear enough and I ended up with doing things wrongly. Further, there are some real
    errors in the documentation about the wrapping and the usage of zvfs that led me in the wrong direction in the first place.

    I have made a few suggestions in the PDF documentation of freewrap to make things clearer and correct the (typing?) errors. If you like to include these in the next version, I am happy to share it with you. I could send the PDF but do not have a contact
    email address.

    Cheers, Torsten

    Torsten,

    I have set up a temporary page, on the freeWrap web site, which will accept uploads of PDF files smaller than 1 MB. Please go to https://freewrap.dengensys.com/contactwithfile0939820365 to upload your annotated freeWrap documentation file.

    Thanks,
    Dennis

    I would like that too. In addition to my own personal struggles, one
    thing that forces me to postpone my little projects is a bug in the text
    widget that I believe was fixed in the 8.6 branch (I filed the bug
    report myself actually) and I assume to be fixed in the 9.0 branch.
    My applications don't work well with that bug. I visit the FreeWrap page
    on Sourceforge every once in a while, hoping to find an updated version.
