-SaveImage-PlugIn: format changed to %04d (to be compatible with LoadImage)
-ILBM-Saver: error detected which occured saving the same chunky image
for more than one time: because the interleaved-flag was not set
correctly the images saved after the first looked very strange
v3.37 (Sunday 22-Jun-97)
-Variables: *additional type: expressions (constant strings evaluated at runtime).
This makes it for example possible to create scripts
which are 100% independent of the actual image-size.

v3.38 (Sunday 22-Jun-97)

(this option isn't overidden by the config-file and should
therefore be very useful for installing the programm on CD)
*parsing of WB-Tooltypes
-Editor: number gadgets turned into "calculator-gadgets"
-PCRender-Window: store/import-function to easily exchange render-settings
between different 3d-operators

(this doesn't affect the "duplicate"-function because
I like it's current behaviour)

*additional place-manual-option for each axis
*because of it's complexity and quality this PlugIn
was removed from the "standard" distribution and must
be purchased separately

-3D-engine: face-visibility-check improved without loss of speed
-Cube-PlugIn: automatically set faces-option to DOUBLE in folding-mode
v3.48 (Tuesday 01-Jun-97)
-Axis3D-PlugIn: *additonal label-rotation-angles for each axis
-Processor: Process-structure: additonal state-flag

more useful than appending

of a variable was cleared - fixed
v3.53 (Saturday 05-Jul-97)
-Shortcuts-Window updated and it's layout improved
