********
This version of YAM 2.0 is still in beta stage. XPK support
and the ARexx interface aren't fully implemented yet, and there
are probably some other functions that don't work as expected.
The final version of YAM 2.0 will be different
from this prerelease in these points:
- Missing features implemented
- Known bugs fixed
- Localized for many other languages
- More icon sets and example scripts included
The release date is not known yet. Go to the YAM
website and register for updates if you want to
be notified when the final version is ready.
