ECS 3.3 Development History				03/11/98

   278)	ECS now buffers outgoing IR-Signals for IR-Interface-2B and
	IR-Interface-2C. This keeps ECS from becoming non-responsive
	when a lot of signals are being transmitted (as might be the
	case when setting up for a VCR recording). ECS will transmit
	up to 5 signals from the FIFO each Event-pass. This number
	may be adjusted by placing the following line in \AUTOEXEC.BAT:

		SET ECS_IR_TX_Q={d}

	where {d} is the desired count. To disable buffering, specify 0.
	The FIFO is cleard whenever the IR-Interface Item is reset.
