ToDo:
- Major code refactoring (partly done)
- Create Icon. stem in order to ease maintainance of icons
- Create mechanism to save passive connections across sessions
- Debug on/off option is badly implemented (rework required)
- rebuild required utilities with libc063 (instead of libc064x)

Known problem:
- printer share detection is guessing only, however there is no known method
  to do this properly

Version 1.3.4
!Fixed: Readonly connection option did not work (was not implemented)
Version 1.3.3
*Changed: Provide better message box for profile saving (to explain rather
          odd behavior
Version 1.3.2
!Fixed: No more double drive letters in the drive letters list after mounting
*Changed: "Workgroup/ Domain:" back to "Workgroup:"
Version 1.3.1
+Added: Explanation for errors in case mount operation fails
*Changed: "Workgroup:" to "Workgroup/ Domain:"
Version 1.3
+Added: Support for the (new) ndpsmb logging feature
+Added: Support for the (old) ndpsmb logging feature (deactivated)
+Added: Save "titlebar" color across sessions
*Changed: Merge Alex Taylor's and Herwig B.'s latest changes 
*Changed: Also display status data in hintarea when mouse cursor is over
          the "current resources" pane
!Fixed: Tab order in "new resource" pane
!Fixed: Help did not work for advanced window in NLV versions
 
Version 1.2.1 (2009-04, Herwig B.)
+Added: Try to restart EVFSCTL.EXE once in case it is not running.
+Added: Implemented support for error messages depending on return codes 
        in case of failed operations as provided from ndpsmb.dll version 
        1.5alpha2 or better.
*Changed: Move status data of current connection into container caption
          (Makes more sense there).
*Changed: Show version notice in status area (at the bottom now)
!Fixed: In case the connect operation fails on a newly created mount point,
        the mountpoint is removed again, instead of leaving it in a zombie
        status. That makes sense as EVFSGUI does not support the creation
        and maintainance of empty mountpoints (the underlying EVFS (including
        the REXX interface) supports this, but the GUI does not).

Version 1.2.1 (2009-05, Alex Taylor)
!Fixed: Main window wasn't set visible if INI file was missing.
!Fixed: Corrected English, formatting h in helpfile.
*Added: Better program icon.

Version 1.2 (2008-10)
*Updated: Finally all the help files are updated to reflect all changes 
          (en, de and fr)
!Workaround: It appears that for unknown reasons the SysDriveMap() function 
        hangs if it is used with the "FREE" and "REMOTE" flags, after it is
        called for several times. I noticed that after I received Yuri's 
        latest Samba plugin. The problem disappears if EVFS is not installed.
        This should be tested (and fixed) by Vitali in EVFS (probably).

+Added: In debug mode the output in the console window has time stamps now
+Added: Display name and version of the used IFS on "empty" mountpoints
+Added: Button on the autoload window (the -nogui GUI) to abort reconnection
+Added: Server entry field is now a drop down combo box holding all servers
        to which connections were made with)
+Added: Alternatively support NetDrive for SMB shares instead of EVFS (using 
        undocumented -ndfs switch)
*Updated: All message files
!Fixed: Bug in my autoload code
!Fixed: Bug in my -ndfs code (spotted by Guillaume)

+Added: Autostart EVFS connections feature via Startup folder object
+Added: -nogui switch (only show a small message window)
+Added: -autoclose switch (close eVFSGUI after 3 seconds)
+Added: Load profile specified on the commandline
+Added: Edit via context menu for mountpoints with exactly one resource 
+Added: Context menu equivalents to the Detach and Unmount pushbuttons
+Added: The content of the EF_NETWORK field (aka workgroup) is saved to the 
        eVFSGUI.INI as this changes only on rare occasions (saved me a lot of
        typing during testing)
+Added: Do not attach drive if has already been attached (from TODO list A.T.)
!Fixed: Profiles supported plain passwords whereas EVFS provided encrypted 
        passwords in profile files
!Fixed: eVFSGUI initializes itself properly now
!Fixed: eVFSGUI would hang after displaying the message "no control program
        found"
!Fixed: Cleanup signal stuff ("return" after a signal is a bad thing to do!)
!Fixed: INI file was not closed after leaving eVFSGUI
!Fixed: When several mount points exist and the first one is removed the click 
        event routine was executed after the corresponded record was already
        removed -> eVFSGUI crashed. As a fix the record is validated before an
        attempt to access its data is done. If it does not exist anymore the 
        event routine is terminated without further action.
