NEWDLG v1.2 Merlin
------------------
What does it do?
----------------
You can patch the "Open file" requester, to get a nicer one (IMO).
Have a look at window.jpg to see for yourself.
(The colors are my own only, and will not affect your system.)
This is ONLY intended for OS/2 Warp 4 - Merlin. It sets the font to WarpSans.9
which is not included in any other version (so far..).
Get NewDlg v1.1 for usage in OS/2 Warp 3.
I resized/moved/reordered the items in the dialog and added some hotkeys.
As usual, this program is e-mail-ware.. like it? send me an e-mail..
******************************
NOTE TO ALL IBM'ERS OUT THERE:
******************************
Have a look at this dialog and compare it with the OS/2 standard.
Consider changing in future releases.

Usage:
------
1. Make a backup of your \OS2\DLL\PMSDMRI.DLL (just for sure..)
2. Copy x:\OS2\DLL\PMSDMRI.DLL (x: = OS/2 drive) to the current directory
3. Run "PATCH.CMD PMSDMRI.DLL"
4. Run "UNLOCK.EXE x:\OS2\DLL\PMSDMRI.DLL" (x: = OS/2 drive)
5. Copy the patched PMSDMRI.DLL over the old one
6. Reboot.
7. Connect to the Internet.
8. Send an thank-you-email to "Tomas Ögren" <stric@ts.umu.se>

Release history:
v1.0: 96-06-04 o First release ... 800x600+ version only.
v1.1: 96-07-01 o Second release, with both 640x480+ and 800x600+ version.
o Added hotkeys for the different fields.. (Just press
Alt and the underscored char to jump to that field)

different versions for every version of OS/2)

for easier installation.

Thanx to:
