* Add a default ASCII/BINARY trasnfer mode.

* Remote file name character substitution to handle FTP servers that have file character
  or length limitations.

* Added more options to convert filename case on server feaure.  Always conver to upper, 
  Always conver to lower, Convert all uppper to lower, and don't convert.

Fixes for this release
======================================================================================

* When a dialup connection is lost and re-connected, WebDrive will now use the new IP 
  address when establishing a data connection for file transfer.

* Login with username only when no password is specified.

* Converting upper cased files to lowercase didn't always work.

* Fixed bug in Unix directory listings that sometimes caused files to not appear.

* Fixed bug that when a file existed in cache, and certain applications opened the file
  for writing, the file was not truncated properly which would result in the file on the
  server being corrupted.

* Fixed GPF when using the "move" command from MS-DOS.

* Fixed access denied error when pasting a file that already exists through explorer.

* Fixed monitor application "unsupported operation attempted" error with corrupted tab 
  dialog that appeared on some machines.

* Fixed problem when doing multiple file transfers at the same time. This was causing 
  one of the copy operations to fail.

* Fixes to WDLS command line dir utility.

======================================================================================
Known Limitiations
======================================================================================

* Windows NT is not currently supported.

* Currently only Unix, NT, VMS, Macintosh, Novell, AS/400, and FTP servers that adhere to 
  the UNIX or DOS directory listing format are supported.  If you have problems getting a 
  directory listing from a server or the directory appears empty, WebDrive probably doesn't 
  understand the directory listing format. Please contact RiverFront Software and send us 
  the URL so we can add support for it's directory format.
