Hello all,
I am about to upload ECSB.ZIP (with ALL .EXEs, including VR.EXE),
which incorporates the following enhancements. Download by
clicking "ECS BETAS" at the bottom of my web page.

WARNING: ICONS.DEF is included in this (and all downloads).
If you have customized this file, please backup beforehand
and restore afterwards.

WAYNE: This upload DOES have the lseek fix,
though it is not listed.

	4.0.015 (01/13/98)

    50)	ECS now supports more time zones for the
SUNRISE-TIME/SUNSET-TIME
	Items. Also, negative latitudes may now be denoted via a setting
	of 90 minus the latitude (e.g. 91 would denote a latitude of -1)
	and negative longitudes may be denoted via a setting of 180 minus
	the longitude (e.g. 181 would denote a longitude of -1).

	4.0.016 (01/??/98)

    51)	The Event Editor (Win & DOS versions) no longer loads a default
	Event on entry, so as to avoid the delay in searching ECS.CFG.

    52)	VR.EXE now properly supports TRAINING when used with the latest
	Microsoft VR engine.

*   53)	ECS no longer allows Items to be set to "READ-ONLY" States via
	Events or Initial States. For example, a Security-Sensor-A Item
	cannot be set (forced) to SECURE/7, as such status should be
	determined solely by the hardware. The chances are slim, but
	this change MAY trigger some errors in your ECS.CFG. If so,
	change the offending States or contact us for assistance.
