== Revision History ========================

Version 1.0 - initial release
	    - released again to fix bug with ALT key pressed while FileBar
	      had focus (would crash FileBar)

Version 1.1 - Shutdown System option added to TaskList menu
	    - maximum number of user definable menus expanded to 7
	    - option added to allow opening of WPS folders (use drag and
	      drop to move a folder to the 'edit item' dialog and the
	      application will automatically fill in pertinent info
	      about the folder)
	    - added doubling clicking to select menus and items to edit
	    - modified so that removing an item does not selection
	      cursor to top of list each time
	    - added attaching WPS settings to each executable and using
	      them to launch an object versus using user defined settings
	    - still uses version 1.1 configuration files
     
Version 1.2 - bug fixed that did not allow accessing settings button unless
	      the edit item dialog was quit and re-entered if the path
	      information was changed
	    - modified resources so different fonts will not be
	      cut off in text areas
	    - modified launch code so some applications will not launch twice
	      when using WPS settings
	    - bug fixed that allows for the 7th menu to actualy be used
	    - added international date and time options
	    - added save menu configuration option
	    - remembers and restores fonts dragged and dropped on it
	    - allows use of version 1.1 configuration files and automatically
	      updates them version 1.2 status
	    - added reset and cancel buttons to edit item data dialog 

Version 1.3 - fixed bug to allow task list to jump to a hidden view of a
	      WPS object, window, etc
	    - became "drag and drop aware" for fonts (ie window will now
	      automatically resize when font dropped onto it)
	    - filebar.ini no longer appears in root of boot drive when used
	      as a WPS replacement shell.  (It appears in the directory that
	      the executable is started from)
	    - changed edit item dialog box so that minimized and maximized
	      box cannot both be checked
	    - added capabilities to task list: close, switch to, maximize,
	      minimize, hide and show windows
	    - much improved application launch (no intermediate REXX script
	      or command window is used).  Seamless window apps still use
	      this intermediate rexx script, though.  :(  Still working on
	      this one!

Version 1.4 - fixed delay that would result when using FileBar as a Workplace
	      Shell replacement.  
	    - fixed/improve close task mechanism so that it first tries a
              "friendly close" and if that doesn't work, then it kills the
              process forcefully.  (Can now successfully close WPS objects 
              from task list!)
            - Make FileBar menu item reduceable to a single symbol to reduce
	      menubar real estate it takes up (if the option is chosen)
	    - suppressed leading zeros in time and date display
	    - Added ability to use [options] in parameter area of item
	      settings to ask user to dynamically input command line 
	      parameters before application launch (ie program objects).
	    - add ability to manipulate background bitmaps (useful ONLY if
	      FileBar is used as a WPS shell replacement)
            - added error message if the launch of a non-WPS item fails
	    - fixed memory problem with WIN-OS/2 full screen sessions (now
              fullscreen sessions are launched via REXX)
	    - became "drag and drop aware" for colors (ie window will now
	      automatically restore colors dropped onto it when restarted)
            - removed unrecognizable characters from task list that came
              from WPS objects that had a carriage return in their title
            - removed the ~ from title bar of launched applications
