WinNAV - OFFICIAL RELEASE 3.00.61
---------------------------------

This is the official release of WinNAV, FlashPoint's Windows Navigator,
version 3.00.61.  All existing beta copies, distributed in the files
NAV06A.EXE, NAV06B.EXE and NAV06C.EXE, should be destroyed.



NEW FEATURES
------------

This release introduces a new 3-D/graphics format and interface
similar to PC-Tools/Shell, a batch print utility, utilities to view
files within archives (double click left mouse or press return key on
selected file in archive directory  when Quick View window active),
full support for the ARC, PKARC, LHARC, LHA and PKZIP DOS utilities
as well as SCAN and CVT, popup track menus (click right mouse button
on list or view windows), 36 user defined function keys, the initial
MS Windows online help system, internal copy functions which will
create directories if they don't already exist, add/make directory
function, global searches by file date and size, drive and directory
statistics, and much more.



WARNING TO CURRENT WINNAV USERS
-------------------------------

Release 0.61 of WinNAV adopts a new format for the [Run Buttons]
section of the WINNAV.INI file.  Therefore, you must reinstall any
custom Run buttons -- the good news is that they can now be installed
directly from the "Action:Run Task" dialog panel.

This was required as a result of 0.61 implementation of 36 user defined
function key combinations.  The first 12 keys (the F1-F12, Shift+Alt
combinations) invoke the same applications as appear in both the Run Task
dialog panel and the popup "User" menu; these are identified in the
[Run Buttons] section of the sample WINNAV.INI file by the LB1-LB12
keywords.

The remaining 24 user defined function key combinations are invoked
by the Control+Alt+Function Keys (LB13-LB24), and the Shift+Control+
Alt+Function Keys (LB25-LB36).  These are also setup using the
"Action:Run Task" dialog Panel.



SHAREWARE DISK VENDORS AND BBS SYSOPS (READ WINNAVB.TXT)
--------------------------------------------------------

Shareware disk vendors, BBS Sysops and other non-individual distributors
must read the file WINNAVB.TXT, for instructions and restrictions on
distribution of non-registered copies of WinNAV.
