*** 1.0 Introduction ***
=================
Welcome to the latest version of the Warp 4.0 Dialog Enhancer DAT file. Please ensure you read all the documentation before 
proceeding with the installation. For the latest changes and updates made to the pack file, please read the file history below.
Significant changes have been made to the format of the pack file, and in so doing so, the size of the pack file has decreased significantly - without loss of features. This build does however require the latest version of the installer - Dialog Enhancer '99.

Regards
Richard Castle.
Dialog Enhancer Development.

*** 1.2 Known Problems ***
=====================

1. Open dialog for FileGraph PM is broken.
2. TCPIP Configuration notebook displays TEMP for sub pages. (Ideas anyone?)
3. Unable to change the notebook control used in NPSWPS.
4. Problems with the Dial Other Internet Providers program dialog for time elapsed (being investigated)

Notes :
1. The new version of IBM TCPIP will not be updated.
2. Some applications within OS/2 have hard coded dialogs. This is most obvious in the FDISK-PM application where the system 
proportional font is still used in the main window. There is no possible way of changing this without hacking the application executable.

*** 1.3 Bug Report Methods ***
==========================
Forms are provided on the Dialog Enhancer home page to ease bug reporting. Please ensure you are clear about the bug 
and let us know your system details. When we mention bug, we mean any form of Dialog irregularity. Please enclose any 
.ERR files created in the install folder, and paste in the INSTALL.LOG file into the space provided.

*** 1.5 3rd Party support ***
=====================
Dialog Enhancer will check the file chosen on the 3rd party selection screen for size against what it expects. If the application has been modified, updated with a fix etc, you will need to select the option to stop Dialog Enhancer from checking the size. This is done so at the users own risk. If the program has simply had fixes made to it then it is quite safe to use this option.


*** 1.6 Credits ***

*** 1.7 Work In Progress ***
====================
The broad coverage of Dialog Enhancer '99 in terms of the dialogs updated. Expect to see some more 3rd party applications 
supported in the near future!
The Dialog Enhancer '99 pack file is being extended to support Win-OS/2 applications, and give them an OS/2 look. This will 
be an optional extra selectable on install for registered users. Keep an eye out later in the year for further updates.
