   'What is new in NetBar v.2.2 ?'                  
                                                    



This text is mainly aimed at users that already know the NetBar program
and know what was included in the previous versions...

If you are new to the program I suggest you look in the help file instead -
because everything will be new to you :-)

OK - old users - here's what's new:

1. Technical stuff: The NetBar main window now confirms better to the Win95
	 standard for this kind of windows (created with the WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW style...)

2. Several bug fixes and updates.. (cannot recall them all - but thanks for reporting it !)

3. The important stuff: The ability to log the cost of any modem usage...:

	 The NetBar can now calculate the cost of any native Win95 modem usage - both when
	 using the modem for an Internet connection and other conections (like hyperterminal)

	 However - to be able to do this there is one important thing to notice:
	 'Display modem status' must be turned on...  (see the help file)

4. Automatic start of NetBar dialing when the Win95 'Connect to...' dialog appears

5. A new command line parameter - see the help file

6. Of course - the help file :-) (End of the help pages )

7. Different language versions:
		English
		Norwegian
		Swedish
		Portuguese
		Spanish
		French is almost ready - just a last check with the translator...
		Chinese coming soon...

	 Please note that this is the program *only* - the help file is in English only for the moment...
	 This is due to that the translation is done by enthusiastic individuals who have
	 done it without any compensation - and since the help file is about 24 pages long I just
	 cannot ask them to do this as well.... But if someone have got a lot of spare time and want
	 to do this - all you need to do is to have Word 7.0 and send me an e-mail...

8. The ability to use the Win95 tray clock to print the time / cost online - great for
	 you minimalists using the tray icon only...

9. The small 'Question mark' picture/ button on the bar. This is not a feature for the power
	 users - it is for all the newcomers to Win95 who has not learned to use the right mouse button
	 yet - it simply brings up the same menu as right-clicking the bar background. (I do
	 get a lot of e-mail asking how to register - seems like quite a lot of the users never
	 tried the contect menu ! )

OK - that is all I can remember for the moment - but there might be more. Enjoy !
