 FiveWin 1.6 b
=============

* New bMMoved data added to base Class TWindow. Now we can defined actions
to performed when the mouse is moved:

              oWnd:bMMoved = { | nRow, nCol, nKeyFlags | ... }

* Dialogs ON INIT Clause is now working. When and Init clauses were
incorrectly managed. WHEN shoud avoid Dialog Execution and INIT, now,
properly initializes if defined. Thanks Satiago Perez!

* We have added control to Windows WM_QUERYENDSESSION, that is, the message
Windows sends to check if we allow to finish Windows execution. When we
receive this message we try to :End() the window or the DialogBox. If
successfully then we allow Windows to End(). Try this:

     DEFINE WINDOW oWnd FROM 1, 1 TO 10, 50 TITLE "You can not end me!"

     ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd ;
        VALID MsgYesNo( "Do we let Windows end ?" )

Execute it and try to End Windows!

* ON [ LEFT ] DBLCLICK clause added to standard ListBoxes! It was missing.

* ADJUST clause on ButtonBitmaps was missing! Now it is ok.

* The Windows Help designer at the IDE is working! Now you may easily
  create Windows Help files without having to use any word processor!
  Extremely easy to build documentation for applications! The Norton
  Guides generation support will be added pretty soon.

* Now to refresh a SAY on screen you may just change the associated
  variable value and then do :Refresh() to the SAY Object. We have added
  this behavior to standarize it with the rest of Controls we manage.

  Also, it is possible to especify VAR or PROMPT, as now we will reflect
  automatically -when :Refresh()ing- the new values of the VARiable.

* We already have SET KEYs !!! like in MsDos !!! My God! How easy was it
  to implement it and how blind we were <g> !!! Enjoy SET KEY power !!!
  Look at TestKeys.prg example.

* The debugger is working !!!  Just compile with /b and... uhhhhhhh!!!
  We have modified BUILD.BAT to easily debug a program, just do:

                          BUILD MyProg /b

   The whole debugger has been written using FiveWin !!! We are going to
   provide all the debugger source code so you will be able to customize
   the debugger to your own needs !

 * The Windows Help files generator is working from the IDE !!! Try it!
   You will be able to write HLP files in a matter of minutes... !!!
   You need the utility HC.EXE or HC31.EXE to generate the HLPs from
   inside the IDE. Look at your Borland bin directories or at Microsoft.
   You may even place bitmaps in your HLPs very easily.

 * The Dialog Box designer from inside the IDE is almost ready. Start
   testing it, and see how quicly FiveWin generates source code !!!
   Now we must add VALID, etc... capabilities. We are working on it.

 * A new expression Builder is almost ready. Review Indexes from the IDE.
   To build an expression just do:

              cGetExpression( [ cOldExpression ] [, cTitle ] )

   with expression-syntax checking and the ability to review all workareas
   fields, variables, ...

 * New method :SetFore() for Bitmaps Objects. This Method forces the
   Bitmap to implement its own palette, so its image gets properly
   -with its colors- displayed. See FwRes.prg for an example.

 * What is the next ? We go for documentation... yes, very soon, as
   quickly as we can. And meanwhile we are preparing something really
   hot: Drag&Drop FiveWin own interface. Visual Programming is nothing
   for what you are going to see very soon...  The next step in CASE
   technologies is about to arrive... stay tuned! <g>

 * We have been reducing the .CH files trying to avoid Clipper 5.01
   memory overbooked problem when compiling. Sorry for this. We were
   using version 5.2 and we forgot about 5.01 problems. If you get
   this problem try to remove unnecessary CH and, if you can, use
   Clipper 5.2 !

 * We want to thank all the people who is helping us. From all countries
   people is providing very important help to develop FiveWin. An
   incredible Reporting engine is about to be added coming from Madrid
   -thanks Ignacio!-, a superb-Browse is near to be ready coming from USA
   -thanks Kevin!-, an incredible Data-Driven-Dictionary is beeing builted
   -thanks J. Mariano!-, the power to read and write RCs from FiveWin is
   coming from Netherlands -thanks Derk!- Thanks Alan Ashendorf for his
   support, his ideas and experience. Thanks all of you for putting
   your heart on this project!
