D-Flat++ Version 3
September, 1993

The makefile is for Borland C++ 3.1 only. Other compilers are not
supported because templates are required. The makefile makes a program
called TEST.EXE, which demonstrates most of the features.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2

1. Dialog Box support added

2. Special PushButton-derived controls:
YesButton
NoButton
OKButton
ESCButton
HelpButton

3. Common dialog boxes:
FileOpen
SaveAs
YesNoBox
NoticeBox
ErrorMessageBox

4. Multiline Editboxes not implemented yet

----------------------------------------------------------------
Version 3

1. Fixed problems with frame on moving and sizing

2. Desktop now saves current drive and subdirectory upon open and
restores it upon close.

3. Added ToolBar and ToolButton classes

4. Still working on multiline editboxes. They are implemented but
with some small quirks. For example, inserting a carriage return (the
Enter key) or word-wrapping on a line when embedded tabs follow
does not yet adjust the following lines' tab positions.

5. Added TED, a sample text editor. Still preliminary.

6. You now put a menubar in the application by embedding it in the
derived application class.
