* LbaWin 0.8.0 - Sbastien Viannay - 05/02/2003 *

  Current Status:
  --------------

	- Full Working Version (All functionnality implemented) !!!
	- Still in Beta-Test stage
	- Keyboard only.
	- See Changes.txt for a detail list of changes

  Bonuses:
  -------

	- Full DirectX 5.0+ support, including FullScreen & Windowed modes
	  (any desktop depth is supported). You can switch between
	  FullScreen and Windowed mode in run time using <F10> key
	  combination.
	- Plasma effect (menus) is now time sync
	- Plasma effect optimised a bit :). Now it draws only the required
	  part (it caused a weird effect when changing screenmode)
	- In-Game Copy voice files to HD re-written to be compatible with
	  all Windows versions.
	- Speed is Limited to 500 fps :) to avoid some collision detection
	  bugs.
	- Added a screenshot key (F9). ScreenShots are saved in a sub
	  directory called 'Screenshot' and are automatically numbered
	  (LBA00000.BMP, LBA00001.BMP, etc.). (format: BMP 8 bits, no
	  compression = 300k)
	- Added a Control Panel to configure LbaWin settings. Control Panel
	  can be accessed through System Menu (Settings entry) of the
	  Window or by pressing the <F7> key.
	- Twinsen no more hit walls when running if 'Hit Walls' option is
	  unchecked into control panel !

  Known Bugs:
  ----------

	- Some Weird effects in Windowed mode under Win2k when changing
	  destkop resolution (from 16 to 8 bits for example)
	- Some Weird effects in Windowed 8 bits mode under Win2k when
	  switching from FullScreen to Windowed mode.
	- Cursor's always blinking in Windowed mode under Win2k, but all
	  DirectX samples has the same effect :)
	  --> Disable Mouse Trail or Shadow in Windows Configuration Panel
	- Weird Desktop effect during palette animation (like Fades) in
	  Windowed 8 bits mode under Win2k
	- Samples aren't paused/resumed when <ESC>/Continue
	- Bug with Cd-Audio/Digital mixer management (if user switch from
	  one to other during LBA run-time)
	- Bad CD Track Index (ex in Twinsen's house: play track 5 instead
	  of 6) (yaz0r, #0000002)
	- when entering a movie sequence the previous music keeps playing
	  (wacko, #0000002)
	- the cd audio goes to the next track and keeps playing the whole
	  cd if a track is finished (wacko, #0000002)
	- many other reported by testers (thx, guys!) but still not 
	  reported here (didn't have time :=) ...
