    *************************************

    Airsoft Softwair has announced the availability of MUI Royale 1.1.

    This is an update and contains some minor fixes and new features.

    MUI Royale is a plugin for Hollywood which allows the user to easily create
    MUI GUIs with Hollywood. MUI Royale supports over 40 MUI classes including popular third-party classes like TextEditor.mcc and TheBar.mcc. Creating
    and managing menustrips is also fully supported. The plugin sets new
    standards concerning the ease of use because the GUI layout can be
    conveniently defined using an XML file that is converted into a MUI GUI by
    MUI Royale on the fly. GUI design has never been so easy! Of course, new features of MUI 4.0 are also supported.

    MUI Royale requires at least Hollywood 5.2 and is provided free of charge
    for all users of Hollywood. It is available for AmigaOS 3 (m68k), AmigaOS
    4 (PPC), MorphOS (PPC), and AROS (i386).
