ECS 4.1.002 (beta) has been uploaded to ECSB.ZIP for
your eval. Please let me know if you are using it.
Feedback welcome.

	4.1.002 (06/05/99)

    44)	If the Text-Line of a Text Item is updated and that Item is
	monitored via the DDE API, ECS will now send an update packet
	to the applicable client(s).

*   45)	As Rockwell has dropped support for handset rec/pb in their
	latest chipsets, ECS now normally suppresses all handset-related
	States (e.g. SPEAK->PC:HS), and uses the sound-card to record
	local messages in the Message window. IF YOUR MODEM SUPPORTS
	HANDSET REC/PB, you can override this behavior by inserting the
	following line in \AUTOEXEC.BAT and reboot:

		SET ECS_PHN_C_HS_SUPP=1

*   46)	So as to be compatible with current naming convention (which
	uses "Speech-Recognition" instead of "Voice-Recognition"), we
	have renamed the following:

		Old			New
		------------------	----------
		VR.EXE			SR.EXE
		VOICE-SESSION		SR-SESSION
		VOICE-COMMAND		SR-COMMAND
		SPEECH-INTERFACE-B	TTS

*   47)	A new Parameter ("SESSION") is now supported for the PASSWORD
	Type, which denotes the session the password will apply to.
	In ECS.CFG, insert this new Parameter below the password as
	shown in this example:
	|Item:Remote Phone Passwd	Type:Password	. . .
	|	Initial State:(None)			. . .
	|	Password     :123
	|	Session      :Remote Phone
	|	Access       :Owner

    48)	Phone Keypad-Sessions having passwords (see #47) now prompt
	for the password BEFORE the macro.

    49)	NON-Phone Keypad-Sessions no longer require an initial <Enter>
	to enter a macro (or a password).

    50)	Fixed bug which kept the .RPC file (modem version of the .WAV
	file) from being saved when a new VOICE-RECORDING-C Item was
	created. NOTE: ECS creates any missing files at startup, so
	no re-recording is necessary.
