HISTORY
-------
First release:
* Qing Gong, IBM US, requested an OS/2 version of SHOWURL for
his JavaIRC program
* Evolved from code used in my REXXSEM utility (see RXSEM*.ZIP)
Second release:
+ Created the optional "NEWURL" program designation which
operated its defaults in reverse of SHOWURL, per request from
Duane A. Chamblee <duanec@indelible-blue.com> and
cla@oerag.de <cla@oerag.de>.
+ Changed it to a PM app per request from
Duane A. Chamblee <duanec@indelible-blue.com>. Only was VIO
due to lazyness. :-)

Note: I hope to not release this program too often - it is small, tiny,
and really shouldn't have too much functionality.
