WHAT'S NEW
==========
Version Description
------- ---------------------------------------------------------------
1.1 - Original
1.2 - Added 8 new (hand picked) pithy sayings
- Added support for LeftButton-DoubleClick to cause regrouping
of the date elements without having to bring up the control
(splash) dialog. (This was done because on system startup,
occasionally the date elements get interspersed with
tray icons.)
Also added a "Regroup" button to perform the same task.
- Added support for a BLANK position to the left of the date
elements. (Includes command-line parameter and checkbox.)
Per the request of Walt Petlevich.
- Added support for update at midnight.
- Corrected a bug in the section that parses command-line parms.
TrayDate has been reported to run on WinNT 4.0 Beta 1.
