otherwise send post to the address above.  See the help file for
more details.


(4) TIPS
--------

1) In the Visual Basic development environment, don't forget to use
   an explicit IniFile setting (see the Help file for details)

2) If you use Notepad, or another editor, to change the contents of
   an INI file your program won't see the change immediately because
   Windows caches the most recently used INI file.  You must force
   Windows to read another INI file after your edit so it has to
   reread the one you've changed.  You can do this by referring to
   more than one INI file in your program, or by running another
   program that accesses a different INI file.

3) This release of the custom controls has been tested with Visual
   Basic Release 3.0.  It should also be compatible with Visual Basic
   Release 2.0 - we welcome feedback.  It is not compatible with
   Visual Basic Release 1.0, because various Version 2 features are
   needed.  If you have Visual Basic 1, we'd strongly recommend you
   to upgrade in any case.  If you have Visual C 1.00, we don't
   expect you to want to use these controls.  Please let us know if
   you want support for other platforms (no promises!).

------------------- Release 1.01 below this line -------------------

5) An Expose control has been added to allow you to save and restore
   properties from all the controls in your application.  This can
   be used to assist translation into other languages, for example.

6) The IniString control has been fixed to allow the default value
   to be returned if the Key, IniSection and IniFile are set to
   values that referred to an actual entry in an INI file and then
   changed to some values that did not refer to an actual entry (the
   control kept the most recently accessed entry as its value).

7) The Align property has been added so the controls can be placed
   directly on an MDI form.

8) The dynamic creation of additional controls at run time is fixed.
   Dynamically created controls do not have any Attached controls
   (Professional Edition).

9) The Help file, LEONGINI.HLP, now includes the correct numerical
   values for the OnChange and OnUnload values of the Write property,
   plus details of the Expose control

10) It is now possible to delete entries in INI files by setting the
    Write property to 4 (Delete Entry) or 5 (Delete Section).

11) A couple of obscure errors that sometimes resulted in crashes have
    been fixed.
