The updated files for ECS 4.1.005 (BETA) have been
uploaded to http://www.usit.com/omnip/ecsb.zip.
There is an outstanding problem with reading
digital-inputs (Digital-Input-K Items).
I have overhauled both ECS.HTM and my web page. 
All feedback welcome.

	4.1.005 (08/10/99)

    60)	ECS now supports the following "ADICON" series devices from
	Applied Digital (http://www.appdig.com/adicon.html):
		CPU-XA
		SECU-16
		SECU-16I
		SECU-16IR
		RLY8-XA

	The related new Item Types are:
		PLC-Interface-2K
		Relay-K
		Digital-Input-K
		Analog-Input-K
		IR-Signal-K

    61)	When playing phone messages thru the WAVE card, ECS now sets the
	volume to the maximum before playback, and restores it to it's
	original setting afterwards. This was done since the modem
	(PHONE-INTERFACE-C) records remote messages at a very low level
	(reason unknown). The default "gain" set to the maximum of 255.
	To override, this setting, insert the following line in
	\AUTOEXEC.BAT and reboot:

		SET ECS_RPC_WAV_GAIN={d}

	where {d} would be "0" for no gain.

    62)	A bug has been corrected which could prevent the phone # from
	being included phone-message log entries.

    63)	ECS now displays help (ECS.HTM) via the user's web browser
	(including context-sensitive help).

    64)	ECS.HTM has been overhauled, for better viewing with web
browsers.

    65)	A new State (REWIND) is now supported for the FILE Type:
	When set to this State, the file position is reset to 0,
	leaving the file intact (unlike RESET, which deletes the
	file's contents).

    66)	A recently-introduced bug has been corrected which prevented
	the "SET STATE" State (for TEXT Items) from working.
