- Version 0.03 alpha (12-Apr-1993)

- Wrote the selection routines so that you can load the files/open the dirs.
- I also have made it so that pressing SHIFT while selecting an application,
- it opens the directory instead of load it.

- accident!).

- Version 0.10 beta (21-Apr-1993)
- -------------------------------
- Fixes heap bug and fixed dragging of directory to icons bug, help file added
- to.
-
- Version 0.11 beta (24-Apr-1993)
- -------------------------------
- Fixed bug that caused the whole of the wimpslot to be claimed, wrote Recall
- routines.
-
- Version 1.00 (26-Apr-1994)
- --------------------------
- Added option for recalling directories if they have been opened with IconDir.
- Increased maximum number of entries from 10 to 12.
- You can now drag off the items with the menu button, and I've just added the
- code for filer action windows and monotasking copying if that fails.
-
- Version 1.01 (14-May-1994)
- --------------------------
- Received excellent Hotkeys program by Graham Crow - changed it to use
- WimpExtension borders (for RO2 users), linked windows and requesters.
- Altered IconDir to take account for this program by adding a main menu item
- to externally load this program from within IconDir.
- Changed options window to have no borders around the writable icons in the
- list.
-
- Version 1.02 (15-May-1994)
- --------------------------
- Added option to Filer_Boot applications as each menu is created... This is
- very slow and I would advise you not to use it, it rather defeats the object
- of IconDir. Reorganised the main menu, so that there are only two system
- items, it got a bit nasty having five system items (Info, Recall, Options,
- Edit hotkeys and Quit), so there is now a misc menu.
- Increased pathname length in writable icons to the standard 256 chars, I was
- trying to save on memory by have these at 128, but it causes problems.
