(1) Nearly all Microsoft products crash or show signs of conflict with WindowShade. This includes Word, Excel and File. The majority of these problems have only occured when NOT running MultiFinder. (2) The check box and radio button dialog items in the Control Panel do not operate when using the Control Panel while MultiFinder is NOT running. (3) The thumb (elevator) boxes in the scroll bars of Nisus and QED/M do not move the document, but the up/down, page up/page down functions continue to work properly. On Thursday, October 26 at midnight WindowShade 1.1 was released. This version fixes the above mentioned problems, and perhaps some other undocumented problems. I am extremely sorry about the problems that this bug might have caused for people out there. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further reports or comments that might make WindowShade a better product. Rob Johnston.
