 - Huge bug in File I/O - I was saving pointers so if one of them
 happened to look like an EOF (0x58 0x00), AppBar would fail to read in
 the file.  This is fixed and now AppBar *should* be stable...I hope.
 - Drag and Drop - Just drag an EXE (or several) to a menu item in the Edit 
 Menus dialog and AppBar will create an app slot for it and fill in a name.
 - Added internationalization code for our friends in our parts of the 
 world.  Now the date and time display in the Win95 Control Panel format.

0.95
 - AppBar runs on Win95 and WinNT 4.0 ONLY!  (And I'm not sure about 4.0)
 - AppBar is much fatter! (Beats me why... I think it may have to do with 
   the fact that the EXE size is now greater than 64k so local jumps must be 
   32-bit values.)  50k ---> 90k.  Yuk.
 - Added options to display date and free memory (at user request).
 - Rewrote time display code to do all this.  As a side effect, the time 
   is no longer selectable (it was previously a menu!)
 - If running on a battery, AppBar will display the battery % left (in 
   color!)
 - Redesigned the Options dialog
 - Command line parameters (see README.TXT for documentation)
 - Multi-user settings (ditto)
 - Many small changes to make AppBar more conformant to dynamic changes 
   in the system (screen resolution change, system time change, etc).
 - Menu bug fix(es)
