08/12/2000
1.0.0.7    + added UltraWorld, BlurCity, Karlskrona2, Wolfsburg2
             and VWorld to the universe list

10/01/2000
1.0.0.8    + internal change, starting proc of AWorld.exe.
             Sometimes AwStart blocked the start of other
             programs tat use sockets - I did not find out
             why so this is just a try

10/20/2000
           + added several new universes and galaxies I found,
             some seem to be mostly down or experimental

10/21/2000
1.0.0.9    + Universe and user data are splitted into two
             separate INI files, the new one is AwStart.cfg.
             That should make updates easier

10/24/2000
1.0.0.10   + Edit Universe had a bug and read its data from
             the wrong INI file, corrected

11/11/2000
1.0.0.11   + new method to start AWorld (sigh), I hope that will
             end that blocking of other socket apps that AWorld
             sometimes does when it is started by AwStart

11/19/2000
1.0.1.0    + Saving the contact list moved from the end to the 
             start of AwStart so I can stop AwStart as soon as AW
             is running. That should solve the "blocking" problem

02/25/2001
1.0.1.1    + Fixed a potential problem with space in the path
             name of the ActiveWorlds installation

============================================================

Known problems / unwanted features ;)

AWorld removes contacts from the contact list, if their user numbers
do not exist in the current universe. That's not a bug in AWorld but
AwStart should handle that - I'm thinking about it.
- solved in version 1.0.0.4

Using AwStart sometimes blocks other socket based programs
that are started after AWorld is started - although AwStart
does not use ressources
- solved in version 1.0.1.0 (hopefully)

============================================================

Hint :

You can check wich version you've currently installed by
doing a right-click to the executable 'AwStart.exe',
selecting 'Properties'. Look at the 'Version'-Tab in the
properties.
