 FiveWin 1.7 d
 =============

* Enhancement: FiveWin TRtfFile Class -for creating Windows help files!- has
  been enhanced to accept characters with ascii over 127 ! This was
  producing errors when trying to create a .HLP file from the FiveWin IDE.
  Try those extended characters now. It is ok! Thanks to Angel Enrique
  Iglesias!

* New: Function PrinterSetup() that shows the Windows standard dialog box to
  setup the printer. It has also been added as TPrinter:Setup() method.

* Sorry! The debugger was not working (a very little error <g>) in 1.7 c.
  Fixed! Sorry for the new download. Thanks,

* The FiveWin Norton Guide is now over 1.1 Mega size (ufff, FiveWin is really
  big!). There is a lot of new documentation and more is coming soon. Thanks
  to all of you that have been waiting for it. We promised you we are going to
  offer the best documentation, and be sure we will do it!

* Enhancement: TCheckBox class has been modified to default initialize
  associated logical variable when it is nil. Our wish is that in no
  circunstance FiveWin may generate an error even if it is not been used
  properly!

* ODBC: Has been greatly enhanced! We are in contact with some companies
  that are working really hard to help us fine tunning FiveWin ODBC. There
  are very nice new tricks that really speed up a lot ODBC processes (like
  automatically generating DBFs from ODBC SQL queries). Thanks a lot to
  Jesus Iniesta from Caja Madrid! See the new SAMPLE ODBC01.prg developed
  by Jesus Iniesta. And much more is coming soon!

* Enhancement: GETs with password detection. TGet class has a new DATA
  ::lPassword. You may set it to .t. or just specify PASSWORD style from
  inside your resource editor. Thanks to our dear Ignacio Ortiz de Zu.iga.

* New functions MsgRun() and MsgWait():

  MsgRun() executes a codeblock and waits for its return before continuing.

        MsgRun( <cCaption>, <cTitle>, <bAction> )

  MsgWait() is a modification on the above, and is specifically for showing
  waiting messages.

        MsgWait( <cCaption>, <cTitle>, <nSeconds> )

  See SAMPLES TestMsg.prg for a working sample.

* FiveWin VBX support has been enhanced, and now it is not needed to
  especify VBX clause when defining a DialogBox that it is going to use
  VBX controls. See SAMPLES TestVbx4.prg.
