Version 1.1:
	
AutoWinNet95 is NOT crippled in any manner.  All features and functions are enabled, so you can evaluate it to its full potential.  The ONLY difference between a registered and shareware version is the two nag dialogs, plus the reminder at the bottom of agenda creation screens.
	
1. You can now import CuteFTP, WS-FTP, and FTP Icon Connection site databases into AutoWinNet95.  Just click on the appropriate icon when making a FTP step, then choose one of your favorite sites.  The FTP sitename, user name, and remote directory will be automatically filled in for you.

2. Greatly enhanced the dialer.  You can edit RAS (dialup-networking) entries, update with new user/password information, delete, rename, add a new entry, plus more.  AutoWinNet95 now re-dials busy Internet Provider numbers a configurable number of times, and allows setting a dial-up timeout.
You can also "Force dial" a provider's number if the "connect" dialog keeps coming up.
3. Added a context-sensitive help system to each dialog.  Press the ? button for quick help on any item.
4. Included the Configuration settings in the help file.
5. Added Tip dialog
6. "View last mail run" now reminds you how to setup automatic mail-reader launching when server has waiting messages.
7. Auto-Responder is finished and polished - works fantastic.  Note: Moving into version 2.0, this will be my signature feature.  If you haven't looked at how powerful it is, please take a moment and check it out.
8. Now allows editing of agenda steps after their creation
9. Drag and drop agenda steps between agendas (or make a copy of an step by dragging it into its own agenda)

16. about 50 other enhancements - no need to list all (much rather add more features, instead  ;-)

	
I am creating a small "scheduler" that is separate from AutoWinNet95.  There's no reason to have AutoWinNet95 loaded into memory just for a time-checking scheduler to sit in the taskbar.  This will be ready in a few weeks…
	
1. The ZIP MANAGER is also in the works that will allow viewing/adding/deleting files from downloaded archives.  Unfortunately, the company who makes it severly screwed it up in their latest release, and I don't have a backup.  My fault!
If I can find an older, functional version of that control, I'll slam together my zip manager.  It looks great, and supports ZIP, ARJ, ZOO, ARC, LZH, and even .CAB files.
	
2. The mail editor formats your attractive .RTF file into plain text.  My mailing library won't let me change the "content-type" to reflect a sent .RTF file, so the guy on the other end will get nothing but trash.
I am currently writing and complaining (bitch, moan..).  The new library set I am purchasing also includes a GOOD mail-sending control, and I might end up using that instead.
	
3. The demo agendas don't include much.  Unfortunately, I cannot pre-set an Email to somebody without making him mad  ;-)   Therefore, I sent one to a dead mailbox that I still own (psx@dal.cleaf.com)
