  'WBMAN [/B0=fname] [/B1=fname] [/G=fname]' to allow selective loading of

  (e.g.: CakeWalkDir=D:\SB16\WCWLITE)

Version 2.1     1994-04-01

  This one is mainly for completeness. Don't know what that parameter does.

  changed.

- "New" did not reset the preset bank name and global settings

Version 2.0     1994-03-21

  item now.
- 3D controls built in. Can be selected with "Settings" -> "Use 3D".
- Global settings redesigned to use file storage instead of .INI-file.
  This makes it possible to:

Version 1.4     1994-03-14
==========================
- "Set User Tuning Table" built in
- "Set Program Mapping" built in.
  This one works only in Proteus Mode!

- bunch of little changes
- sample names contained little errors; corrected

Version 1.1     1994-01-20
==========================
- WBMan now accepts the name of a preset bank file as startup parameter;
  this allows to associate it to ".CBK" files in File Manager.
- Much to my shame, I detected an error in the "Edit Channel" dialog that
  allowed only the scroll bars to work; this has been corrected.
- Some of the MIDI mode settings did not work correctly; this has been
  corrected.
- "Send Presets" can be interrupted now.
- "MIDI Mode" panel now includes the option to lock the mode.
- "Master Settings" dialog implemented; WBMan can work as a complete
  WBPanel replacement now.
- WBMan now starts up with "New Standard" instead of "New" setting so that
  all presets are set.
- "Play MIDI File" works now.
