-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This version includes an updated version of the CreateCatalog localizer
tool - even though the features of the updated version are not yet needed.

-------- history ----- this is not the complete history, read the guide!----

Changes made since 3.57:
	Fixed another bug in the TAB expansion requester: Forgot to
	save back one register - that might have caused crashes.
	Re-enabled icon drop on public screens for DOpus compatibity.

Changes made since 3.56:
        Multi assigns to C: work now.
        ViNCEd windows in opened in RAW: mode do not longer include the
        close window raw event.
        Improved the DOS interface a bit: ACTION_SET_FILE_SIZE is now
        refused with the correct return value.
        The mn_ReplyPort field of DosPackets is no longer trashed.
        fh_Arg2 of FileHandles is no longer trashed.
        Implemented Arexx ACTION_DROP.
        ACTION_SET_COMMENT implemented, can be used to set the window
        title (a la DisplayHandler).
        Removed two bugs in the ^Z feature, one minor, one SERIOUS...


Changes made since 3.55:
	Added the ^B and ^R keyboard sequences, changed the placement of
	the cursor if the history search was successful.
	Added a kludge to make the AREXX LINES() command working.
	Fixed a bug in the ViNCEd-requester (didn't enter directories)
	Added "*" as a valid screen name that refers to the frontmost
	public screen.

Changes made since 3.54:
        ViNCEd can now be mounted as RAW console handler, i.e.
        SetVNC mount override as RAW will work fine.
	Fixed two minor bugs in the window open routine.
	Added the ICONIFIED and NOFALLBACK options, VNC 3.55
	will now come with FALLBACK by default because the
	old standard conflicted with various programs.
	Added another cursor shape that's getting displayed if
	the output is stopped with ^S.

Notes: 

        Check the TOP_SECRET file in this archive!



        VirusWorkShop seems to have trouble with the overlay file structure
        that is used by the SetVNC program.
        THIS IS NOT A VIRUS! It is a bugfix of the oldish CBM overlay 
        manager which is really buggy!
        VirusWorkShop will be updated soon. (I hope)

        To trick VirusWorkshop, the SetVNC program in this archive is
        encoded. Use the "Decode" program from the "Extras" drawer to
        decode manually. The installer script has been updated to do 
        this for you.

        Thanks Urban, for reporting!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Some virus checkers might complain about the set PktWait() pointer
        of the VNCFiler.supervisor. Again:

        THIS IS NOT A VIRUS!

        Anti-Beol has been updated to handle this case, please 
        update your copy as well!
