>> VERSION 2.0 <<

* Added a schedule feature enabling you to schedule macros for
specific times or during any 15-minute, half-hourly, or hourly 
interval.

* Added the "MSG_OK" and "MSG_OKCANCEL" commands that you can 
use to stop the macro and display a message.  You can use 
either a regular message with an "Ok" button or use an 
interactive message that displays an "Ok" and "Cancel" button 
which will resume or cancel the Macro, respectively.

Note: Combine the above two features for a handy alarm/tickler!

* Removed the prompt "Exit Macro Mania - Yes/No" when the 
program is exited.

* Added an option to expand the area where you Add/Edit the
actual macro script.

* Bug fix: when the window was resized (sometimes a few icons 
would get "lost" and the window had to be resized again to
"find" them).

* Bug fix: when Macro Mania was started minimized the initial
screen minimized, but then the main icon window screen would
return to its normal state.

* Bug fix: when the program was closed from an icon the Window's
environment still thought it was running if the task manager or
Alt-Tab sequence was used.

* Made a few underlying enhancements to fine tune performance.


>> VERSION 1.3 <<

* Added the ability to launch a particular macro when "Macro Mania"
is first loaded.

* Optimized the speed at which macro buttons are adjusted when
you resize the "Macro Mania" screen.


>> VERSION 1.2 <<

* Fixed a problem that happens on some PC's when the PAUSE 
command is used.

* Removed some duplicate or infrequently used icons that are installed.
This keeps the distribution file small.  (Search for "Icons" in the 
Help system to find out how you can easily add your own icons.)
Still, there are 200 icons that come with Macro Mania!

* Made sure the installation of new versions does not overwrite
any macros from older versions unless the users "Okay's it".
Too many happy users for me to risk messing that up. <smile>

>> VERSION 1.1 <<

* Fixed a small bug that caused the "Always On Top" characteristic
to turn off when the program was minimized.

* Added the SENDNOW feature, which allows you to send just about any
conceivable combination/format of the current date and/or time to a
program.

* Added the BEEP feature, which allows you to cause the PC to beep
via its speaker.  Useful when you need to bring attention to the
PC, particularly after a long macro and/or when its time for you 
to type.

* Enhanced Help a little and added reference to the above mentioned
items.

ENJOY!
