Hi Brian,
I noted this changes in a prev email (see below).

I know of no changes effecting "performance".
But if I am to address it, I need a very specific
description of the problem.

	4.4.010 (10/09/00)

*   88)	The "CPU-XA" "module" designation for various OCELOT-related
Types
	has been changed to "Main".
	To make the required changes, please enter the following:
		EDM ECS.CFG
		C/ :CPU-XA :Main
		W
		Q

    89)	As the LEOPARD IS an OCELOT with additional touch-screen
features,
	ECS can now support the LEOPARD as both (i.e. no OCELOT is needed).
	To do this, define a PLC-INTERFACE-K Item and a TOUCH-SCREEN-K
	Item whose module ID is "Main".

    90)	We have dropped support for the CP290 (old 1-way X10
transmitter).

*   91)	The following Types have been renamed
	(please change as required in ECS.CFG):

	Old			New
	----------------	---------------
	IR-Interface-1D		IR-Interface-D
	IR-Interface-2B		IR-Interface-B
	IR-Interface-2C		IR-Interface-C
	PLC-Interface-2A	PLC-Interface-A
	PLC-Interface-2B	PLC-Interface-B
	PLC-Interface-2C	PLC-Interface-C
	PLC-Interface-2D	PLC-Interface-D
	PLC-Interface-2G	PLC-Interface-G
	PLC-Interface-2H	PLC-Interface-H
	PLC-Interface-2I	PLC-Interface-I
	PLC-Interface-2J	PLC-Interface-J
	PLC-Interface-2K	PLC-Interface-K

*   92)	The DISPLAY State of the TOUCHSCREEN-K Item has been removed,
	as it did not work as intended. To display a specific screen,
	just set the Item to that screen's # (0-25).

    93)	For ECS/WWW users who wish to use a CUSTOMIZED version of
MAIN.HTM
	(and PREVENT ECS from re-generating it when requested), create a TEXT
	Item named "ECS_MAIN_HTM_GEN" whose Text-Line is "1".

    94)	For ECS/WML users who wish to use a CUSTOMIZED version of
MAIN.WML
	(and PREVENT ECS from re-generating it when requested), create a TEXT
	Item named "ECS_MAIN_WML_GEN" whose Text-Line is "1".
