 ShutDownKing v4.03 - 04.06.99
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 * Hints of Tray Icon and Timer Icon improved
    > '?' and '!' now only appear after actions to which the fit
    > Timer-Hints' " - Action:" was replaced by " | ", "Stop Timer" by
      "Stop", because hint-length is limited and windows did cut off 
      he old hints.
      Example: "Left: Pause  -  Right: Stop  |  Restart"
 * New action for Tray Icon and Timer
    > 'Restart', restarts Windows without rebooting the Computer. This
      action is much faster than a full reboot.
       > commandline parameter: /restart
 * The actions 'Timer' and 'DOS' now can have a confirmbox, too.
 * Timer-Messages bug in the English version fixed (wrong messagetexts
   were shown sometimes)
 * Repaint bug fixed, that appeared when choosing some types of
   effect combinations
 * Harmless installation bugs fixed that occured under Windows NT



 ShutDownKing v4.02 - 30.05.99
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 * New tray icon actions... These actions were included to give you more
   freedom choosing the left- and rightclick actions. 
    > LeftHold: Simply hold the left mousebutton down for about one second
      and the Preferences Window will open up.
    > RightHold: Simply hold the right mousebutton down for about one second
      and the KingsMenu will appear.
 * The timer icon no longer replaces the tray icon, but is placed next to 
   it. This way, all SDK functions are available any time... an active 
   timer will not block them any more.
 * Introducing 'Fur II' format
    > Fully compatible to old fur format
    > Improved error handling 
        > Implementation of default options, that are used if the .plz file 
          is incomplete or damaged
        > Implementation of default elements, that are loaded if the fur is 
          incomplete... The default elements are taken form the "Standard" 
          fur, so make sure this one does not get lost someplace :-) 
        > In case of an emergency you will get a "Fur's missing" message,
          but the SDK will still work properly.
    > Supports 24 new basic effects (that makes 42 altogether)
    > Less flickering
    > Takes less memory (just 1 KB, but that might matter... perhaps...)
    > Supports parallel use of up to 3 basic effects (one for each: Frame, 
      Viewhelp, Text), which increases the number of possible effect 
      combinations to over 300.000 (old fur format: less than 500) 
 * Improved tray icon handling functions... (no more flickering when 
   switching timer on/off)
 * English help (if installed in English, the help was formerly still in
   German. That's "fixed" now.)
 * Repaint bug fixed (Preferences: Frame around the KingsMenu Preview)
