HISTORY OF UPGRADES SINCE 4.2L
upgrade v4.2L 7/27/94
 1) Winmenu now executes the programs in the "startup" group of
 Program Manager when running as the Windows' shell. 
 2) You may optionally setup Winmenu to ask for confirmation when
 exiting. See online help under The [Options] section.

upgrade v5.0 11/10/94
 1) Winmenu now uses a file format similar to the Program Manager
 to store the menu definitions. The file has extension of .GRP
 and allow much faster loads and consume less memory. The utility
 WCONVERT.EXE now is included to allow users of previous versions
 to convert the INI file to .GRP files. The INI files are still 
 used only to store user switches and other configuration data. 
 2) Drag-and-drop may be used to move menu items positions across
 pages in a menu section. 
 3) Users may now drag-and-drop menu items into a TRASH can to 
 delete them.
 4) The Menu Maintenance dialog allow administrators to enter
 a file server, volume and path to use when executing an appli-
 cation. This is used to optionally attach and detach to another
 file server for executing the application. Great for users of 
 CDROM file servers where the login access may be limited.
 5) The Menu Maintenance dialog also allow administrators to
 set a maximum count of users that may be allowed to use any
 given application concurrently.  Great to meet software license
 agreements and control the use of resources.
 6) Users may now rename the pages in each menu section to further
 organize the applications. 
 7) The online help modules have been revisited to account for 
 enhancements and changes. 

upgrade 5.0h 12/23/94
1) GPF errors with some screen savers is fixed.
2) Access rights to files and directories are now working properly.
3) GPF error when executing some applications is also corrected
4) Online help information updated

upgrade 5.0J 01/02/95
1) The MAP= field can now be used to map a data drive.
   Previous version used this field exclusively to execute a program.
   v5.0J can now map a data drive and execute the program from one of the
   current available drives.  If a drive letter is specified in the
   Command Line and WorkDir fields, Winmenu will not use the drive
   mapped in the MAP= to execute the program.  The mapped drive can
   then be used by the executing program for data access. 

   Note: Drives mapped by the MAP= field are "unmapped" when the 
   executing program terminates.  Unless another executing program is 
   using the same drive. 

upgrade 5.0k 01/06/95   
1) Routine that checks the network was enhanced to properly detect
the network under Windows NT 3.5 .  Winmenu now works under WFWG, NT

paths when entering menu items. Also Winmenu detects read only
drives and automatically disable any online edit to the menus.

1) Added the ability to display a "splash" window at load time.

will be displayed when Winmenu is loaded.
2) Winmenu standalone now can engage in a DDE conversation
with any installation program as Program Manager and Explorer
do. The INSTALL programs now can add new menu sections and
menu items to Winmenu Standalone when WInmenu is run as the
only SHELL program in WIndows.
