Short:    ViNCEd 3.60, late gamma release
Uploader: thor@einstein.math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter)
Author:   thor@einstein.math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter)
Type:     util/shell
Version:  3.60
Distribution: NoCD
Requires: Any Amiga, any kickstart version (even 1.2 will do)
Replaces: ViNCBeta.lha

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a late gamma release of ViNCEd 3.60. Everything is in place, the
library, the editor, the preferences, the installer scripts and include
files, the sample preferences. You'll be able to install ViNCEd from here
like in the final release.
I won't expect any bugs from this release at all, it has been tested quite
a lot and should run fine. The only thing that remains to be done for the
final release is to remove the "ß" version string from the library and
the preferences editor. Except that, the final version will not differ
from this version at all, unless some nasty last-minute bugs show up.

This version fixes a long-searched bug Holger Jackob reported some versions
before (troubles when marking a block). Thanks, Holger!

-------- history ----- this is not the complete history, read the guide!----

Changes made in 3.60:
	Just too much. 
	Except quite a lot of bug fixes, this release introduces a new
	keyboard parser which allows to bind keyboard functions to
	any key you like. It introduced, too, a new preferences format
	that is based on plain ASCII text. Additonally, a new guide
	is included which contains a FAQ (frequently asked questions)
	and a new and detailed index.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: 

        Check the TOP_SECRET or ReadMe.First file in this archive!
	Especially, these SHOULD BE RUN FIRST before you start with
	the installation.

        VirusWorkShop seems to have trouble with the overlay file structure
        that is used by the SetVNC program.
        THIS IS NOT A VIRUS! It is a bugfix of the oldish CBM overlay 
        manager which is really buggy!

        To trick VirusWorkshop, the SetVNC program in this archive is
        encoded. Use the "Decode" program from the "Extras" drawer to
        decode manually. The installer script has been updated to do 
        this for you.
