 * vxrxS21c.zip -- Patches to upgrade VX-REXX Standard Edition from 
 *                 version 2.1B to 2.1C
 *
 * How to patch VX-REXX version 2.1B to version 2.1C:
 *
 *   0) Backup your existing VX-REXX directory.
 *   1) Copy the ZIP file to the directory where VX-REXX is installed
 *      and make it your current directory.
 *   2) Unzip the patch file, making sure that your UNZIP program creates
 *      directories stored in the ZIP file.
 *      For example, if you are using UNZIP from InfoZip, use
 *          unzip -o vxrxS21c
 *      If you are using PKUNZIP from PKWARE, use 
 *          pkunzip -d -o vxrxS21c
 *   3) Your VX-REXX directory will contain a number of new files.
 *   4) Run the PATCH.CMD file to patch the .EXE, .DLL, and .INF files.
 *      Your PROJECTS directory will not be changed.
 *
 *   VX-REXX 2.1C is now installed and ready-to-go. See the revised online
 *   "Read Me First" or the rest of this file for the list of changes.

New in version 2.1C
===================

====Design Environment: General

  o Closing VX-REXX

    Closing VX-REXX from the task list when using OS/2 Warp now works.
    Previously, this would result in a syntax error.

  o Console

    Now either ENTER key (the one on the main keyboard or the one on the
    numeric keypad) can be used in the Console to terminate a line.
    Previously, only the ENTER key on the main keyboard would work.

  o Container object

    Previously, when a Container object in design mode was set to detail view,
    and then was dragged, unpredictable results would occur. This now works
    correctly.

  o Deleting event sections

    Previously, deleting an event section sometimes resulted in the event
    remaining set for the object. Deleting event sections now works correctly.

  o Direct editing

    Previously, some characters where not displayed properly when direct
    editing DescriptiveText and MultiLineEntryField objects. Characters are now
    displayed in direct edit mode as they appear on the object.

  o Drag and Drop macros

    Corrected the drag and drop macro for setting the SpiltBarLeft property.
    Previously, the dialog presented the value as a checkbox. The dialog now
    contains an entry field instead.

    The incorrect reference to the Cancel property for Timer objects with
    respect to drag and drop code generation has been removed; Timer objects
    do not have a Cancel property.

  o Enabled property

    Previously, in design mode when the window's Enabled property was
    turned off and the window lost its focus to a modal window (such as the
    Menu Editor) it would not be properly re-enabled. The window is now
    enabled properly in this case.

  o Resource Editor

    Removed the Help menu from the Resource Editor. This is no longer
    required.

  o Saving

    Corrected a problem where, occasionally, Save As Text would write out
    the wrong number of lines for binary information.

====Runtime Environment: Objects

  o All objects

    Previously, unpredictable behavior would occur when objects were
    subclassed by parts of the system other than VX-REXX (such as Pen for
    OS/2). Subclassing now works in this case.

    Changed the Height property to remove the one pixel height limit. The
    problem was that the actual height of an object could get out of sync
    with the value reported by the Height property if it was set to zero.

    Previously, you could not get the Caption property of an object using its
    window handle (HWND); this would result in a REXX syntax error. Now this
    works as stated in the Programmer's Guide.

    Disabled objects now appear in the correct color. Previously, the disabled
    color was not exactly correct.

  o Container object

    Previously, when dragging more than 47 records from a Container object
    the records would either be inadvertently deselected or would leave pixel
    trails on the screen as they were dragged. This no longer occurs.

    Fixed the problem that caused OS/2 Warp to crash if you changed the
    Container object's ShowCaption property from 1 to 0.

    Previously, if you were to drag and drop a container record that had the
    Filename attribute set onto a printer or the Shredder, unpredictable
    behavior would occur. This now works correctly.

    Dragging and dropping a font onto a Container object in details view will
    now immediately affect the entire container and update the Container's
    Font property as well. Previously, this was not always the case.

  o DDEClient object

    Corrected an ambiguity with the DDEClient Request method: previously it
    would return a null string if an error occurred (which is also a possible
    valid return value). Now all of the DDEClient methods set the VRError()
    value to one of OK, BUSY, or ERROR to describe what happened.

  o MultiLineEntryField object

    Corrected the unpredictable behavior that occurred when the font size of
    a MultiLineEntryField object's parent window (the edit window or a
    GroupBox, for instance) was changed.

  o NoteBook object

    The status text in the NoteBook object is now repainted properly.
    Previously, when using OS/2 Warp it would not appear correctly when the
    StatusText property was set.

    Previously, the Notebook object tab lengths would grow to fit the longest
    caption, but would not shrink when the longest caption was made smaller.
    They now shrink as expected.

  o ValueSet object

    Corrected a problem in the ValueSet object that was preventing items
    other than the first from being removed.

====Runtime Environment: Functions

  o VRParseFileName and VRParseFilePath functions

    The functions VRParseFileName and VRParseFilePath now accept long
    filename extensions; previously the limit was 3 characters.

====Sample programs

  o CUA 91 Skeleton sample

    Corrected a syntax error in the CUA 91 Skeleton sample program which
    occurred when direct editing a field title when in details view.
