WWPlus version history
 refer to the online help (press F1) for details on any item.

Planned for the future:
-Implement Screen Saver option, so that wallpaper images
 become a Screen Saver slide show.
-Implement DDE so that another application can easily suspend
 wallpaper changes.
-Possibly add .WAV support (what do YOU think?)

version 1.358 March 1994
-Made multiple selections possible in the ADD file dialog.
-Made the program remember where it was in a sequential file
 listing, so the next startup will be in sequence.
-Changed the "Special Change Button" so that it is smaller
 and has more functions.  Timer can be toggled, wallpaper
 changed, wallpaper removed, and program exited, all without
 bringing up the main screen.
-Added preference item for Auto Save.  When enabled, the
 program will not prompt before saving changes to a queue
 at program exit and when queues are being changed.
-fixed bug that caused tiled images to sometimes not tile.
-fixed bug that turned timer on when interval was changed.
-Program name officially changed to WWPlus from WinWall Plus
 to avoid confusion with other programs called WinWall.
-Fixed bug that caused GPF when trying to save an already
 existing JPEG file.

version 1.357 January 1994
-Fixed bug that could cause system crash when using the
 "Special Change Wallpaper Icon."

version 1.356 December 1993
-Program no longer uses MUSCLE.VBX and MHSP200.VBX, which may be
 removed if not needed by other programs.  Added small custom
 file WWPLUS.DLL for functions previously derived from MUSCLE.
-Added "Make Current Wallpaper" function to menu on thumbnail
 screen.  On 256-color displays,Wallpaper colors may be wrong
 until the thumbnail or program screen is minimized.
-Preferences menu now a full menu rather than a sub-menu of the
 Wallpaper menu.

version 1.355 November 1993
-New CTL3D module included, called CTL3DV2.DLL.  The program no
 longer uses CTL3D.DLL, which may be removed if no other program
 is using it.
-Fixed minor bug introduced in version 1.354 regarding use of
 CTL3D module.

version 1.354 November 1993
-Fixed bug that would cause GPF error when exiting the program
 by means of the End Program option under the wallpaper menu.
-Removed need for MHTG200.VBX and MHML200.VBX.  If a previous
 version was installed, these files may be removed from the
 Windows\System directory.  Since it is possible that another
 program might need them, keep a copy.

version 1.353 November 1993
-Added support for JPEG compressed files (.JPG extension).
 used only for true color 24-bit files, JPEG is a "lossy"
 format.  It offers small file size with the tradeoffs being
 slow decompression and some loss of detail.  See the file
 FORMATS.TXT for further information.
-Fixed bug that caused too much memory use when non-BMP formats
 are used.

version 1.352 October 1993
-Added Up/Down buttons to move a selection within the wallpaper
 queue.
-Added ability to expand/contract file listings to make them
 easier to read.
-Added Preference menu item to change wallpaper when program
 is started (default does not).
-Added Preference menu new feature:  Minimized program icon
 may be replaced by a small form that, when clicked, will change
 the wallpaper immediately.  Pressing the spacebar when the form
 has the focus will also cause a wallpaper change.  The form can
 be placed anywhere on screen, and will remember its location.
-Some improvements in queue handling, including Start New Queue
 option.  The program now remembers directory for last queue used.

version 1.351 September 1993
-Added Preference menu option to monitor com port and disable
 wallpaper changes when active communication is detected.
-version number changes in .001 intervals to increase number
 of 1.3 changes possible.

version 1.35 September 1993
-Added Main Screen preview panel.

version 1.34 August 1993
-Fixed obscure bug that caused problems displaying 256-color
 images on computers with 32K or 65K video displays.

version 1.33 August 1993
-Support for multiple named queue files (configuration files).

version 1.32 July 1993
-Automatically suspends the timer when the active application
 is full-screen.  This is useful to avoid "screen jump" when
 using input-intensive applications like word processors.

version 1.31 July 1993
-Fixed bug which caused the program to incorrectly grab the
 focus when performing wallpaper changes.

 be "remembered" in the future.
-Timer can be set for as little as 0.1 minutes (six seconds)
 for "slide-show"  effects.
