03/03/95
--------
Version 1.0 release
03/13/95 (vs 1.1)
-----------------
Fixed incompatibility with "Plug In" that caused event timer errors.
03/20/95 (vs 1.2)
-----------------
Fixed bug that allowed quick events to execute more than once in the
same cycle. Now only one event can be executed at a given time.
To limit system activity, rewrote the event checking routine to ONLY
check for events when the current minute is at an interval an event
can be set to. ("?0" or "?5")
Extended event array from 21 to 40 events.
04/01/95 (vs 1.21)
------------------
Added "Alarms" option and wave playback.
05/02/95 (1.21 bug fix/update)
-------------------------------
Fixed keyboard access bug. Enter key now changes directory when
choosing file paths.
Added basic text editor for keystroke editing.
Fixed bug that truncated/garbled fields longer than 64 characters.
Max length of any entry is now 256 characters.
06/16/95 (1.22 update)
---------------------
Added option to change the "kill program" key sequence.
* * Special thanks to Steve Lippert.
Updated help to work during keyboard only access. Previously the
help was only triggered by mouse movements.
06/26/95 (1.[3?] beta)
----------------------

Fixed alarm screen to show and edit "seconds" field.
10/21/95 (1.41 release)
--------
* Windows exit options (Shutdown, restart, reboot).
* Sendkeys to ANY open window (launced by EM or not).
- Now tries to restore Min windows before sending keystrokes.
* Created "Other" event type to add above functions.
* Added working directory selection (thanks Scott Powell).
* Extended max keystroke delay to 120 seconds (Scott again!).
* Added DATE scheduling mode (finally!).
* Added command line switches to "Autorun" events and "Autoexit" EM.
* Added File and Edit buttons to button bar.
* Added Window Title (task list) selection screen.
(for kill program and send keys "window")
* Tweaked the user interface a bit (again? you say).
- made overlapping windows easier to differentiate.
- thinned bevels a bit (1 step closer to "95 Explorer" look).
11/19/95 (1.41 update)
--------
* Fixed a few minor cosmetic details
* Fixed bug causing incorrect data in "task" editor
12/04/95 (1.41 fix)

when password option "stay minimized" was selected.
03/08/96 (almost 1.43)
--------
* Not everyone has a sound card! Added default beep if sound for
alarm is checked, but no sound is selected.
04/16/96
--------
* Added command line loading of event data files.
* Bug fix - Event types unchanged when new event data file loaded.
05/03/96
--------
* Finished first version of Event Manager Help file, added context
sensing. Killing "write" file docs.
06/21/96 (1.43)
--------
* Added ability for Event Manager to enlarge iconized programs to send
keystrokes in Events and Tasks. (previously couldn't send keys to a
window that was minimized at the time.)
07/17/96 (1.43 update)
--------
* Added delay option (comma's) to keystrokes of "method" in Kill Program
section of Event Editor.
08/08/96 (1.43 update)
--------
* Added minimum 1 second delay after event is finished to stop the
occasional "double launching".
08/12/96 (1.43 update)
--------
* Created new TASK option to Exit Event Manager.
09/20/96 (1.5 beta)
--------
* Event List can now contain unlimited number of Events. Added "Add"
and "Remove" commands to Event Menu to insert and delete events.
* Added right-mouse functionality. Pop up menu gives choice to open
editor, change time or name, or "run now".
* Added event logging (finally!). EventMan can now record a log of all
Event and Task proceedures to a log file (eventman.log). New menu
options to turn on/off logging, view, print and clear.
* Updated "Run Time" controls in editors so you can type in hour,
minute and second as well as select them from the lists.
* Added "Ask before run" to Event and Task editors. When checked, Event
Manager will ask for user confirmation before running the Event/Task.
10/08/96 (1.5 beta)
--------
* Added "iterative events". Events can be set to repeat every X minutes,
hours, days, weeks or months.
* Re-wrote event checking routine because of the time it takes to check for
all possible repeat options. Tested on a 486DX2/66 with 80 events all set
for 10 repeats on the same day and the last event was still triggered. Got
check loop time down to around 1/10th a second under these conditions, so I
would guess over 1500 events per day might be possible in "normal" use. I
still must presume events at the end of the list might be missed on 386
machines, but who the heck going to schedule 800+ events on the same day?
10/14/96 (1.5 release)
-------
* Beta test results all positive!
10/22/96 (1.5 fix)
-------
* Fixed bug causing GPF when running "Exit Eventman" task with pop-up menu.
