EVOLVE FOR WINDOWS
        For those of you who use our EVOLVE xBase add-on product:  No,
        we're sorry, but it is not compatible with Multi-Edit for
        Windows.  However, YES we are hard at work on EVOLVE for
        Windows right now!  It is not in beta yet, but it should be
        before long.  We will let everyone know when it is ready.



THE FOLLOWING FEATURES HAVE NOT YET BEEN IMPLEMENTED BUT WILL BE
        Wordstar keymap
        DDE support
        Hex editing
        Ruler
        API docs
        Editable format line

   These features will be provided in free maintenance releases to you. So be
   sure and register so we can send them to you.

CORRECTIONS TO THE MANUAL
        The file MANUAL.TXT contains specific corrections to the
        manual.

 FEATURES THAT DID NOT MAKE IT INTO THE MANUAL:

    MENU EDITING
        Menu editing has been consolidated and enhanced.  All menus
        are edited from the Menus entry in the Customize dialog.  You
        may now customize the system menu that pops up on MDI child
        windows.   Also, the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON menu is now referred
        to as the Context menu.

    NETWORK ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
        We have had to make a mod to the naming of the network
        support environment variables.  These variables have changed:

          was                     is now
        --------                --------------
         ME_ID                   MEW_ID
         ME_CFG_DIR              MEW_CFG_DIR
         ME_USERS_DIR            MEW_USERS_DIR
         ME_LOG                  MEW_LOG

        This is to avoid conflicts with the DOS version.

   PRINTING SUPPORT
        Printing support has been improved.  You may now select the
        font to print with, and easily turn headers/footers on or off.
        At this time only fixed pitch fonts are supported, but
        proportional will be added at a later time.

   FILE OPEN/SAVE PROMPTS
        The file prompts have been dramatically improved, and several
        bugs have been fixed.  The following features have been added:

        DIRECTORY HISTORY - The File Open/Save dialogs now allow
        sport a history under the "Directories" entry.

        WORKING DIRECTORY - The current "working directory" is now
        always displayed at the bottom of the dialog.  In addition, you
        may change the working directory to the current viewed
        directory, or view the working directory with the "Change" and
        "View" buttons.  The "Change dir" check box has been removed,
        as the "Change" button accomplishes the same thing.

        FILE OPERATIONS - The "File..." button, near the bottom of the
        dialog, will pop up a menu of operations.  These operations
        include:  Copy, Move, Rename, Delete, Send (to send a file
        through MAPI), Attributes and Create directory.

        NOTE:  There have been many requests to allow for a sorting
        option like the one that exists in Multi-Edit for Dos.  We are
        investigating doing this.

    LIST BOXES
        Many of the list boxes now allow for multiple selections, and
        have horizontal scroll bars.  These include the multi-file
        search list, the window list and the exit-save list.

    BLOCK OPERATIONS
        If you have the "typing overwrites block" option on, then
        pasting will overwrite a block as well.

        If you have the "Turn block highlight off after paste" option
        on (new), then the block will be turned off after a paste.

    APPLICATION ACTIVATE/DEACTIVATE CHECKS CHANGED FILES
        When MEW is re-activated after being deactivated (when
        switching apps), it goes through all the loaded files and
        checks for any time/date stamps that no longer match.  If
        miss-matches are found, the you are prompted and given the
        option of re-loading the file.

    AUTO-DETECTION OF FILE TYPE
        Ok folks, it's here.  Multi-Edit for Windows can, under most
        circumstances, auto-detect the file type being opened (i.e.
        UNIX, DOS or Binary).  To do this, you must enable
        "Auto-detect" under the filetype section of Filename Extension
        Setup, for each desired extension.

    RESTORE PREVIOUS SESSION
        Putting /SR on the commandline will cause the previous
        session to be restored, including changing the directory.
        This requires that the Encoded Status Files method of restore
        be on.

    DLL IMPORTS
        The ordinal number is no longer required for CMACWIN dll
        imports.  After the module name, you may now specify a text
        string, OR simply leave it out alltogether, and the function
        name will be used.  As a note, using the ordinal generates
        more efficient code.

    RIGHT MARGIN INDICATOR
        We have added a right margin indicator line.  This line is
        drawn in the foreground color of the "Page Break" attribute.

    GETTING RID OF THE BLANK "NO-FILE" WINDOW
        There is now an option in the User Interface Setup called
        "Always have at least one window open".  If this is
        UNCHECKED, then the NO-FILE window will not be created upon
        startup, or upon closing all windows.

    DRAG AND DROP FILES
        You can now drag files from the file manager (or other app that
        supports drag and drop) onto MEW and it will open those files.

    INS AND DEL KEYS IN LISTBOXES
        Most dialogs with list boxes will now respond to the INS and
        DEL keys.  Let us know if you spot any that should but don't.
