* ATTENTION:                                             *
* ----------                                             *
* The prefs window of MUIPicCatalog can be quite large   *
* depending on your MUI font configuration. So be shure  *
* to have a WorkBench/PageStream4 screen which is large  *
* enough! Otherwise it can result in crashes at startup! *

HISTORY
-------
V4.00 (17. March 2000)
 * rewritten the GUI of MUIPictureCatalog to use rxMUI!
   rxMUI has much more power than MUIRexx and is more class like
   developing. It's simply better and currently in development.
 * maybe fixed some bugs - maybe developed some new ones... ;-)
 * check for the fields which require measurement values added
 * added example prefs
 * textinput to insert the description text for the thumbnails
 * in general more error proof(?)
 * added installer script. You MUST use it.

V4.01 (09. April 2000)
 * added vertical option.
   Now the thumbnails also can be placed in a vertical order instead of
   the present horizontal one.

V4.02 (30. January 2001)
 * works now with rxMUI > v4.2

V4.03 (17. March 2001)
 * fpo settings now work ;-)
 * -> In ~90% of all tries with current pgs 4.0.8 I get software failures 80...04!
   Looks like e PGS bug?

V4.04 (24. May 2001)
 * added "MUI Prefs" Menu entry
 * help bubbles should work now (with rxMUI >=V8.0)
 * still problems with current pgs 4.0.9 (software failures 80...04, alerts)
   With pgs 4.0.7 these problems don't occur.

V4.05 (26. May 2001)
 * added button attribute to the title picture (-> about on click)

V4.06 (11. Nov 2002)
 * prefs saving for formats was slightly broken -> fixed
 * bordersizes of "0" now really does not draw the border

V4.07 (6. Apr 2003)
 * calculation of vertical positions was slightly wrong if textsize is zero
 * (forgot to upload it ;-) )
