WKS32 by F.K
(wk32005a.lzh)

The most advanced member of, as I call them, the WKS family. It needs not only UNLHA32.DLL but also two system files, MFC40.DLL and MSVCRT40.DLL, of which most people running Windows 95 will probably have more recent versions than those I downloaded from the Library - so be careful not to overwrite those. It can also be found at the Vector Library, and is stable for sets that don't rely too much on FKiSS.

Archive support: external
FKiSS: 2
CKiSS: not sure
Enhanced palette: no
Bugs and idiosyncrasies:

- Doesn't trigger release() unless the cel/object is dragged (or, in the case of a fixed cel, tugged).
- If I put too many collision detection events in a set, it locks up or acts unreliably.
- Won't detect collision between two totally transparent cels, that is, with transparency set to 255; at least one of the cels has to have a transparency of 254 or below. Collision between a completely transparent cel and a partly transparent or non-transparent cel is detected, however.
- Won't allow alarms longer than 65535 milliseconds. Any longer interval has to be split up among two or more alarms which call each other.
- Loops midi files endlessly. (Which means you need a button to turn the music off.)
