 Upgrading from a previous SuperLib

 Previous to SuperLib 3.5
 ------------------------
 Code written for SuperLib 3.0 will run fine with SuperLib 3.5.
 Changes to existing functions are almost all mouse related, with
 no need to change the parameters. SuperLib 3.5 is mouse aware. You
 don't need to do anything extra to have SuperLib functions respond
 to the mouse. (except have a mouse, plug it in, and load a mouse
 driver...) If you DO NOT WANT mouse awareness, call SLS_ISMOUSE(.f.).

 The .LIB files are now called:

        SUPER.LIB     for Clipper 5.2d


 Previous to SuperLib 3.0
 ------------------------

 The main non-upward compatible feature of SuperLib
 3.0 when compared with previous SuperLibs is the global system
 variables.

 In SuperLibs previous to 3.0, a scheme of PUBLIC
 variables was used to represent certain global SuperLib
 environment settings. To avoid PUBLICs, a new set of functions
 exists to set and retrieve these previously PUBLIC variables.

 1. If you have used any of these variables in your own
    code, you will need to search and replace all instances of their
    old PUBLIC syntax with the new function syntax. Watch out   for
    places where you may have used macro expansion.

   See "Old style PUBLICs vs. new functions" below
   for a complete listing of old vs. new.



 2. If you have stored the color variables to
    COLORS.MEM, you'll need to convert over to the new COLORS.DBF.
    If you do not, nothing disastrous will happen - SuperLib will
    just use its  built in default color sets.

    A function has been provided for this:
    SATTGETMEM([cMemFile])  will retrieve the .mem file you
    previously used for colors.mem, and will store these color
    settings using  the new function calls.

    Following this, a call to SATTPUT([cSetName]) will
    store these color settings to COLORS.DBF, with an optional set
    name of   [cSetName] (default name is DEFAULT)

    SETCOLORS() and COLPIK() store color sets to
    COLORS.DBF. SETCOLORS()  allows naming of the set. COLPIK()
    overwrites the set named DEFAULT.
