                               (23 Oct 96).  Version 1.0 was unable to show
                               the list of outboxes if FTP PostOffice is

                               performing scheduled uploading.
                             - This bug is now eliminated in OUTBOX.EXE.
                             - Change in version number is no required since 
                               this is only a minor fix-up.

                               OUTBOX.EXE version has thus been changed to

    Version 2.00 (27 Aug 98) - Bug found in OUTBOX.EXE.  Scheduled uploading
                               attempts to upload even if no files are present.
                               Bug has now been eliminated.
