[comp.sys.amiga] Browser 1.6 sent to the moderator.

In a blatant effort to stuff the pipeline, I have sent the binaries for
my Browser, rev 1.6, to Bob Page.

sed 's/^X//' > browser.readme << '//END'
XWell, here it is. After much internal debate I have decided to take Browser
Xas it is and release it as shareware, rather than polish it some more and try
Xto make it a commercial product.
X
X	- I'm not able to work on code for the Amiga as hard as I used to.
X	  This has nothing to do with the computer... the real world is
X	  imposing on my time.
X
X	- I've run into some bugs in the current version of the Manx 'C'
X	  compiler, version 3.6a, that are just too much trouble for me to
X	  get a workaround done.
X
X	- The largest commercial advantage to Browser, the ability to operate
X	  on icon-less files, is rumored to appear in Workbench 1.4.
X
X	- I've recieved word that someone else is working on a Browser. This
X	  means WAR... :->
X
XI will continue to work on it, at a slower pace. Future enhancements like
XREXX ports and a regular command language will eventually get done. Releases
Xwill, paradoxically, come out faster. They could hardly be slower... :->
XAny donations you see fit to make, out of the goodness of your heart, will
Xhelp speed this process up.
X
XEnhancements in 1.6:
X
X	Multiple tools menus.
X	No close gadget on the browser window.
X	Smarter window positioning code.
X	CLI support!
X	Real-time updating with scroll-bars.
X	Assignments appear in the browser window.
X	File sizes.
X	Selection of all files in a window.
X	Selection of files by pattern.
X	Duplicate file without having to move it to another volume.
X	Better checks for multiple volumes and hard disks.
X	Internally cleaner code.
X	Should support different fonts (not tested).
X	And lots more I can't think of at the moment.
