    and added existing cut and copy append commands to the edit menu.

    listbox was not updated.
2) Copy c:\file to a:\ tried to create a:\\file

4) Compare and grep opened files with mode _SH_COMPAT instead of
    mode _SH_DENYWR.
5) If Windev was started in edit-only mode, the Project menu was enabled
    until the first file was opened.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in 1.51:
1) The online help has had various improvements, including regular
    expression examples and a new section on creating projects.
2) To extend the range of compilers supported, compiler error message
    syntax recognition for hypertext jumps has been extended to allow
    for message lines in the general form:
      [<text><space>] <file> '(' <line> [<separator><column>] ')' <message>
    The parts in square brackets are optional.  Any leading <text> may
    not include '('.
3) The active window can now be selected from a modeless resizeable listbox,
    as well as the usual MDI menu.

Bug Fixes in 1.51:
1) If the first time Windev was closed its frame maximized at the time,
    the frame window was transparent the next time it was started.
2) Message boxes relating to find/replace dialogs were modal to the
    frame window, not the dialog.
3) The File Open dialog did not show the Read Only checkbox under
    Windows NT.
4) The NT version showed GMT rather than local time on the status bar.
5) The caret would be obscured if it was on the last visible line when
    the horizontal scroll bar was automatically displayed.
