+FM/2 3.18 This release removes high memory support at least for now.
+Changes made to the openwatcom compiler which adds large file support to the
+open file functions created a problem since DosOpenL doesn't work correctly 
+with high memory. This change also fixes the paste failure in VIO windows
+when copying from FM/2. 
+
+We have provided an archiver description for use with unzip ver 6. It is contained
+in ARCHIVER.TMP. The installer copies the description to ARCHIVER.BB2 (last entry).
+If you plan on using ver 6 as your default unzip you will need to activate this 
+description. The instructions follow:
+
+- This archiver definition assumes that UNZIP v6
+  a) is named UNZIP.EXE
+  b) is on the PATH
+  c) precedes all other UNZIP.EXE versions on the PATH.
+
+- If any of these are not true, then either correct the problem listed above or:
+  a) Select the UNZIP v6 definition. (See below.)
+  b) Click on the "Edit" button
+  c) Modify all instances of UNZIP.EXE to include a full path for UNZIP.EXE v6.
+  d) Click on "OK", then "Close" and then "Yes" to exit and save your changes.
+  
+- FM/2 will not use this entry unless
+  a) It is the only UNZIP definition; or
+  b) You select it manually; or
+  c) You move UNZIP v6 ahead of all the UNZIP's in the list of archivers. 
+  In order to do this:
+     1) Select the UNZIP v6 definition. (See below.)
+     2) Click on the "Up" button until the UNZIP v6 entry precedes all other
+        UNZIP definitions.(If you have never modified ARCHIVER.BB2 it will 
+        need to be moved to the very top)
+     3) Click on "Close" and then "Yes" to exit and save your changes
+
+Selecting the UNZIP v6 definition: 
+     1) Start FM/2
+     2) Select the "Config" menu
+     3) Select the "Edit" submenu
+     4) Select the "Edit an archiver..." menu item
+     5) In the dialog that appears scroll the list, if necessary, and select
+        the UNZIP v6 definition  
+        
+We have made changes to the open files logic to correct some odd issues 
+caused by MMPM when ogg, flac and/or mpg IOProcs are installed. MPGs are now 
+recognized as media and zero byte files trigger a dialog offering to open 
+them in the text editor. We now pass .wpi files to the WPS if no association 
+is set for them. If you see FM/2 attempt to open non-media files as a media file
+or fails to open a media file recognized as such by OS/2 as media, let us know.
+
+We reworked the user commands. Doing so makes COMMANDS.DAT obsolete with the 
+commands moving to FM3INI.INI. We did this to eliminate toolbar entry failures 
+caused by reordering the commands. It also keeps the hotkey the same following 
+a reorder and allows the user to select the hotkey they wish to use. The first 
+time you run 3.18, it will copy the commands information from COMMANDS.DAT to 
+the INI. COMMANDS.DAT isn't deleted or changed so you can revert to an earlier 
+version without losing old commands. However, any commands you add or change 
+with this version will not be seen by older versions.
+
+You can use Ctrl-click to select state or commonly used directory quicklist entries 
+or walk dialog user list entries without activating them. This is handy for deleting 
+entries without changing the window's state.Compare directories has been rework to 
+enhance its speed, allow for quick cancel and provide the option of AND'ed 
+selection (CTRL click). AND'ed selection selects from currently selected entries 
+as opposed to all entries. See the help file for more information. We have fixed 
+some rare traps and hangs and a few annoying bugs like the failure of the append 
+checkbox in the list file dialog to append. Please see the history file for a more 
+complete list of changes.
