 FiveWin 1.8 e
 =============

* New and incredible FiveWin MsgBars! Thanks so much to Jose Luis Ruiz
  Santos. Now we have automatic clock, automatic date and automatic
  keyboard, plus all kind of items you want to place there. With different
  colors, fonts and sizes. It is a dream!

  Have a look at SAMPLES TestMsg3.prg

* New FiveWin own Drag & Drop system: Now you can start implementing
  all kind of powerfull mouse Drag & Drop features in your applications
  so easily. Drag & Drop give a lot of power to your users!!!

  See SAMPLES TestDrp3.prg for a working sample!  So cool !!!
  See SAMPLES TestDrp4.prg  (more so nice samples coming soon!)

* New Browse with columns!!! We have added the excellent work done by
  Selim Anter and Harry Van Tassel. See SAMPLES TestTcbr.prg for a
  working sample. See also SAMPLES TestTcb....prg

* New: cGetFile() accepts now a fourth parameter to specify an initial
  directory.

* Run Clipper.exe as a Windows EXE! We provide a new utility called
  wClipper.exe (see SOURCE TOOLS wClipper.zip) to execute Clipper.exe
  from Windows as a Windows EXE, so it is the perfect solution for
  calling Clipper from your used Windows editor (MultiEdit, etc...).

* New FiveWin Windows installer! The installer that FiveWin uses has been
  developed by Ignacio Ortiz using FiveWin. Ignacio has developed also
  a superb Setup Wizard that automatically will prepare your distributions
  disks. Contact Ignacio Ortiz to get the Setup Wizard (it is excellent!):
  CIS: 100042,3051.

* Ignacio has also developed an incredible DBU for Windows. There is an
  evaluation version you may try. Contact Ignacio by CIS to get it.
  Thanks so much Ignacio for your all your support and help. It is very
  clear that Ignacio is about to join the FiveTech development Team!

* Zip management: Now with FiveWin you can unzip ZIP files. We have implemented
  support for the public domain library INFO_ZIP.DLL. See SAMPLES TestZip.prg
  for a working sample! We only UNZIP files!

* New! Standard ListBoxes and ComboBoxes with ownerdraw bitmaps! Now you
  may have all the magic of placing your own bitmaps inside the ListBoxes
  and ComboBoxes, making your applications more and more graphical!
  See SAMPLES OwnerDra.prg for a working demo and enjoy it !

* New: Much improved FiveWin help system: Now you may press F1 even with
  the Pulldown Menu open or with a working Popup Menu. Every control
  may have its own help ID associated that will show a floating popup screen
  when pressing F1 over it. If there is no help defined for that item,
  FiveWin will look for help at its container, and will continue this up
  to it finds some help to show!

  Also, there is a new Method ::AddHelp() for the class TMenu. You may
  automatically implement a PullDown menu popup for Help, just doing:

                  local oMenu

                  MENU oMenu
                     ....

                     oMenu:AddMdi()       // for MDI environments
                     oMenu:AddHelp( <cMsg>, <cCopyright> )
                  ENDMENU

                  return oMenu

  AddHelp( <cMsg>, <cCopyRight> ) receives two parameters to automatically
  implements an About Help option.

  Also, all this menu options show an associated message if there is a
  MsgBar defined for its container window.

* New!: ToolTips are now fully implemented in FiveWin. A new DATA cToolTip
  has been added to the base class TWindow so ALL windows, dialogs and
  controls may use tooltips! See SAMPLES ToolTip.prg for a working sample.
  They are extremelly easy to use!

  DEFINE BUTTON OF oBar ... ... TOOLTIP "Look how easy is to manage them"
  DEFINE BUTTON OF oBar ... ... TOOLTIP ...
  DEFINE BUTTON OF oBar ... ... TOOLTIP ...

* New: The FiveWin Debugger has been greatly improved:

       + You may inspect and modify variables (including objects).
       + PullDown menu hotkeys for faster control.
       + Tracing capabilities for modified variables.

* New METHOD SetSize( <nWidth>, <nHeight> ) at base class TWindow. Use
  this method when you want to modify the dimensions of a window, based
  on its width and height. If <nWidth> or <nHeight> is equal to 0, then
  the current width or height of the window is kept.

* New: MRU (Most Recently Used) technology support! Now you can esily use
  MRU techniques on your pulldowns menus with an incredible simplicity!
  MRU makes your apps much easier to be managed! MRU are managed with just
  TWO lines of code! See SAMPLES TestMru.prg

* Bug fixed: Now you can run simultaneously several FiveWin apps (different
  ones) and close them in no matter what order. It is ok!

* DbWin warnings fixed: There is a small utility at the Windows SDK called
  DbWin.exe that reports warnings about an application execution. FiveWin
  were generating a lot of warnings, that have been already removed. Please,
  if you detect any warning at DbWin please let us know to fix it. Thanks!

* Enhancements: ButtonBars may be now turn into float and be placed again
  later as a standard ButtonBar.

* MessageBar: Now they allow to use different fonts on them. There is a
  new clause NOINSET to gives them a noinset looking. Soon much more
  capabilities will be added....

* Important: Class TFile has been renamed into TTxtFile !!!

* Bug fixed: METHOD :SelFont() was changing the current selected font when
  selecting cancel on the standard font selection DialogBox. Now it is ok!

* Bug fixed: In late FW 1.8 D default pushbuttons were no longer working.
  Now it is ok!

* A lot of new samples:

          * Phone.prg      : A cool digital phone!
          * ToolTip.prg    : ToolTips demo!
          * TestMru.prg    : The cool MRU technology!
