Hello all,
ECS 4.2.001 has been released/uploaded and incorporates the
changes below (note that I "bumped" 4.1.016 to 4.2).
Latest upgrade instructions are attached.

Given the considerable number of enhancements made since 4.1
(5/13/99), I feel justified in asking for a minimal upgrade fee
of $20 for ECS-Standard and $10 for ECS-Lite (see attached for
details). This charge will NOT apply to those who have purchased
ECS within the last 6 months, who have made other "donations",
and/or have spent significant time beta testing (please remind
me when requesting the new authorization-code). If, for any reason,
you feel that the charge should not apply to you, please let me
know why and I'll try to accommodate :-).

If you need the auth-code NOW, feel free to call anytime
from 9AM-8PM/EST (weekends OK).

ECSB.ZIP has been deleted, as it is now obsolete.

BTW, I fixed the problem reported by Mark S.

Later...
