Version Beta 1.00 04/25/93

Fixed tons of bugs, when testing the library on different machines,
writing Libraries is not THAT easy, you know...
This is why i still call it a Beta-Version.
+ We need a new name, there is already an ASMLIB, well, Max called
it Sound & Vision for Clipper, I guess that fits perfectly...
- fixed a real big bug, which drew funny characters onto the screen
+ OpenMask is completely rewritten, you can now use Closebuttons,
MoveButtons, MenuAreas, Scrollbars and different types of frames.
ScrSave() und ScrRest() rewritten, works now with allocated memory,
no more static buffers...

created MessageBox (boxType 2)
Version Alpha 1.03 03/29/93

- Finally fixed the bug that occured with Microsoft's Mousedriver 8.2
The mouse wouldn't position on certain pixel and would only reach
row 12. Thanks to Microsoft! *~!@@@??#$&$GGRRrrrrr.... Well, by
rewriting the complete MousePositionig the Mouse now moves a lot
smoother. Many thanks to Uwe and Ralf !
