     The documentation for this archive is located in ESSCODE.TXT, which
should be located in the same directory as this document.  This list of
bug fixes and changes made to ESS-Code is in chronological order; the new
information appears at the end of the document.

May 30, 1995:  ESS-Code 6.4a
[These problems have been solved.]

BUG #1:  ESS-Code 6.4 inserts an "extra" backslash in the
         filename of the program manager item created by the
         installation program.  This would prevent ESS-Code
         from executing properly.

BUG #2:  ESS-Code does not prevent the user from executing
         the client modules directly.  The only module that
         can be executed directly is "eshell.exe".

June 4, 1995: ESS-Code 6.4b
[These problems have been solved.]

BUG #3:  When things go wrong, they rarely do so in an insignificant                   way.  ESS-Code would not operate properly on many system
         because it could not execute the server modules correctly.  An
         extra backslash was mistakenly inserted into the filename at
         execution time, thus causing an error.  This problem did not
         affect Windows95 users or OS/2 Warp users.  For those that it
         did affect, though, ESS-Code would not work at all.

July 2, 1995:  ESS-Code 6.6
[These problems have been solved.]

BUG #4:  The status display was not being updated correctly.
         Old information, such as parts of words or numbers,
         was not being erased before the new information was
         drawn.

BUG #5:  The MIME-Decode file conversion method was capable of
         corrupting the address space of ESS-Code, which would cause
         a system crash.  This problem did not seem to affect anyone,
         but it is now fixed.

BUG #6:  The "Split File" & "Join File" commands did not update the status
         display after completion.

NEW:     ESS-Code now allows the user to drag a file from the program
         manager (or explorer) and drop it on the ESS-Code application
         window.  If such an action is taken, ESS-Code will display a
         dialog box asking how the file should be processed.

July 7, 1995:  ESS-Code 6.7
[These problems have been solved.]

There are days when nothing happens the way it should; the days the
previous version of ESS-Code was released was apparently one of those
days.  The drag & drop support did not work in the previous version,
and there were a number of "empty" alert boxes in the installation
program.  This release solves those problems.  I apologize for any
inconvenience my error might have caused you.

MIME-Encoding has also been fixed.  This problem only affected the 16-BIT
version, so users of the 32-BIT version were never troubled by it.

July 25, 1995:  ESS-Code 6.8

NEW:  The Windows95 user interface has now been applied to ESS-Code.

NEW:  ESS-Code now has an installation wizard to automate the setup
      process.

NEW:  ESS-Code can now be uninstalled automatically by Windows95.

July 27, 1995:  ESS-Code 6.9
[These problems are now solved.]

BUG #7:  There were several small typographical errors in the setup wizard
         and the application itself.

July 29, 1995:  ESS-Code 7.0 (BETA)
[These problems have been solved.]

BUG #8:  The CTL3D32.DLL dynamic link library was not being installed
         correctly for Windows95 Build #501 -- it worked fine for previous
         builds, apparently.
