History:
-------
Version 1.3 - First public release.

Version 1.4 - Added support for Windows NT.  Added a proportional
stretch option.  Added color capability to personal messages.

Version 1.5 - Added transition effects.  Added option to display images
in random order instead of alphabetical.  Added an installation program.

Version 1.6 - Removed the 100 image limit.  An unlimited number of
images can now be displayed.  To accomplish this, image directories
must now be selected instead of individual images.  Added a drag/drop
feature to select directories from local drives or the network.  Added a
thumbnail image preview feature.  Added a manual slide show mode.  This
mode is activated when the display duration is set to zero seconds.  See
the online help screen for more information.  Added text size option to
message overlay.  Added background color selection.

Version 1.7 - Added a feature to use image sets. Many directories can
appear in the image directory list but only those specifically flagged
will be used. Double-clicking toggles a directory on/off. Added an
uninstall feature to completely remove Screen Paver from your system.
This is done through the Control Panel using Add/Remove Programs.
Replaced the "Help" tab with standard Windows help (using F1 or the Help
button).

Version 2.0 - Made the transition effects individually selectable. Added
10 more transition effects. Added a "Shrink Only" stretch option which
will proportionally shrink only those images that are larger than the
screen while leaving smaller images at their original size. Added an
option to label each image with its filename (without the extension) and
place the label in one of six positions on the screen. Text font and
color are user-selectable. Added an "Add All Subdirectories" button to
automatically add to the image directory list all subdirectories of the
selected folder.  Improved program performance and memory management.
