-NB-- Delete Any Old 'Infcon.ini' File Before Loading This Version!!
/*------------What's New In Infconvert PM Beta.85-----------*/
1/3/94
Changes from Beta.84 (never released)
Single Inf and hlp files can be converted and searched without first being
opened.
The "Found" windows listbox of topics where the searched for text was found can
now take all the instances found, in several blocks.
Double clicking on any part of the topic list of an opened file now results in
the associated text being displayed.
Menu Names have changed - Options is now Settings, File is now Open, Find is
now Search..
A font palette is now directly accessible from the menu.
The font of the topics list can now be saved within and between sessions.
The conversion program is now better with data in tabular form. Two bugs, one
where it wasn't putting a space where it should, and one where it was putting
extra spaces where it shouldn't, were corrected.
Infconvert now defaults to a size that will fit on a VGA screen when first
installed.
Infconvert now checks that its temporary directory can be made, or exists, or
prompts the user for a path, which can then be saved in Infcon.ini.
Infconvert made to run from read only media, as it will now set up its Ini
file in the directory of OS2.INI. if the current directory cannot be written to.
Tab order and default action for most windows is now more logical.
The files "Infcon.exe", "Infccona.exe" and "Infprint.cmd" have altered with this
version and old versions of these files should be replaced. The ini files - both
"Infcon.ini" and "Infprnt.ini" must be deleted and rebuilt with this new
version.
This version still works with Vrobj.dll ver 1.01, patch 'b' level although it
has been tested and was built using Vrobj.dll ver 1.01 patch 'c'. There is no
great advantage in using the later patch level .dll.

/*------------What's New In Infconvert PM Beta.84-----------*/
21/2/94
Changes from Beta.79
A find function for both single files from the main window or for multiple file
selections from the "List All". Word and part words of up to 255 characters can
be searched for in inf and hlp files. If found the relevent parts of the file
can be viewed in a new "Found" window, with the searched for text highlighted.
The positons of the major windows of Infconvert PM can now be saved, in a
session and between sessions. The window positions are saved automatically when
Infconvert PM is closed down, and can be saved intermittently with a new "Save
Windows" button from the "Options" window.
The size of the major resizable windows is also now saved.
The "All Done" messages now are modal to the window they refer to, thus can't be
lost behind a pile of windows.
The format of the ini files has been further improved, to avoid problems with
null values entered for paths.
The font in the 'viewer' window and 'found' window now is saved in a session after
the window is closed.
Infconvert now writes its temporary files to a temporary directory.
The conversion program has been improved so that it can handle multiple files in
one pass, thus improving speed.
The conversion program is now at least 3 times faster than the version used with
beta79, and does more error checking.
Extra routines have been inserted at program termination, which should lead to
fewer instances of the VXRexx console appearing then.
The bug in the 'infprint.cmd' utility program, which prevented it from working
until the values for line length for portrait and landscape had been transposed,
has been corrected.
/*------------What's New In Infconvert PM Beta.79-----------*/
24/10/93
Changes from Beta.77
A "Cancel" button to cancel conversion from "Convert List".
An option for drag'n'select on an "All Files" list.
A "Drive Not Accessed" dialog when a drive is unavailable to list from.
"All Done" messages now reference the appropriate drive and file type.
Access violation bug with "Convert Subsections" corrected.
Size of textscreen in View window limited to length of text.
The ini file has an extra parameter in it over the last version. You MUST delete
any old version of Infcon.ini before running this version. Both Infcon.exe and
infccona.exe have been altered from Beta.77. If you have Beta.77 installed
both Infcon.exe and Infccona.exe need to be replaced.
/*------------What's New In Infconvert PM Beta.77-----------*/
17/10/93
This is the second release of a PM version of Infconvert, an inf to plain text
conversion program and viewer.
Improvements over Beta.75
A "List All" feature to list all the inf or hlp files on any drive.
A "Convert List" feature for conversion of groups of files.
System menus and minimise and maximise buttons on most windows.
Fonts set to fit buttons etc on all systems (hopefully)
Some improvements in the conversion program to help with glossaries.
Both Infcon.exe and Infccona.exe have been updated, and these files from
the last version should be replaced with these new ones.
