HISTORY FILE FOR WCL
                          --------------------
Version 7.80 (February 1995)
-----------------------------
This is mainly a maintenance release which consolidates all the
recent versions and all the bug fixes. It also contains a number
of internal enhancements, and users should notice better performance
generally. There are also some new features;

1. The COPYTREE and DELTREE functions have been rewritten and are
   now much faster.

2. New feature: WCL can now be used to run Windows programs from an
   MS-DOS command prompt. When in a DOS window, typing "WCL" before any
   command will cause the running Windows version of WCL to run that
   command. Any command recognised by WCL can thus be run from a DOS
   prompt.

    e.g.   WCL WRITE

    * when typed from a DOS window, this will run Windows WRITE.

   This feature requires 2 things;

      a. the DOS server must be enabled in WCL.INI
      b. the TEMP environment variable in AUTOEXEC.BAT must point to
         a valid directory.

3. New command "LESS". This command is a more "Windows" version of "TYPE"
   or "MORE". LESS allows you to view text files in a dialog window,
   from which you can copy to the clipboard. The only restriction is
   that the file being viewed cannot be larger than 50kb.

4. New INI entry "ENABLE-DOS-SERVER". This turns on support for using
   WCL to run Windows programs from an "MS-DOS prompt".


Version 7.70b (December 1994)
-----------------------------
1. A number of bugs have been fixed;
   [a] not running the AUTOEXEC.CBF file
   [b] not running commands in the STARTUP lines in WCL.INI
   [c] not expanding the WINDIR reserved word properly
   [d] not running the FOREACH command properly
   [e] sometimes not changing to the directory of the program being
       executed, even if "DO=0" in WCL.INI

2. New commands:

   [a] UNLOADLIB - this unloads "orphan" DLLs from memory (i.e., DLLs
       which you KNOW shouldn't be in memory because all the programs
       using them have been closed, but which are still in memory).
       It should only be used by programmers or others who know what
       they are doing. If the DLL you are trying to unload is still
       being used by another running program, you are CERTAIN to get
       a GPF. You have been warned!

       Syntax = UNLOADLIB <FILE.DLL>
       Example: UNLOADLIB CTL3D.DLL

   [b] TEXT2COM - this converts a text (ascii) file into a self
       displaying executable file. You can give the converted file
       an extension of .EXE or .COM (although it is actually a .COM
       file). Because it is a .COM file, the ascii file you are
       trying to convert cannot be larger than 64000 bytes.

       When the executable file is run, it will ask whether you want
       output to the (S)creen or to the (P)rinter. If you output to
       the screen,, there will be a pause for a key press after each
       screen is displayed.

       Syntax = TEXT2COM <ascii file> <file[.exe][.com]>
       Example: TEXT2COM help.asc help.exe
       Example: TEXT2COM help.asc help.com


Version 7.70a (November 1994)
-----------------------------
This is a maintenance release that only introduces a new version of the
dynamic link library file GENDLL1.DLL.
