========================================

v1.14.00 - 09/18/97
- general tune-up which fixed up numerous little bugs that somehow slipped through but you were kind enough to let me know.

- problems with different screen resolutions were addressed. We recommend using small fonts in whatever resolution you prefer.
- a few internal procedures wer rewritten to make Notepads+ run a little faster as well as keeping the footprint smaller.
- NotePads+ now resides in the System Tray.
