A few small replacement shells for 32-bit Windows. By me, for me, to you.

So, I finally got around to uploading v0.9.0. It hasn't been very thoroughly tested, so the release is marked "beta" (but you won't see it called beta anywhere in the docs), but it should work just fine. If something *doesn't* work, PLEASE submit some bug reports. Please? Someone? Anyone?
* NEW SINCE LAST PUBLIC RELEASE: Version 0.9.0: - Changed the Options dialog to a tabbed display, for better arrangement and to better fit smaller displays. (Before, it was too tall for 640x480 screens. I don't know if anyone is still using that small of a display, but you never know.) - I *think* I've fixed the old problem with non-existent background entries. (EEShell2 would crash if the background file or directory didn't exist.) - Fixed another unconditional search-and-replace screw-up. (Technically, this one isn't a bug: the code still worked, but the affected item was changed from a standard Windows name to... something else. Annoying.) - Fixed a bug with blank background image or file manager not being saved to the .ini file. Seriously, people, why doesn't anyone file bug reports? This has apparently been there for a while now, and I just now noticed it. There have been several hundred downloads over the past few years; surely *someone* must have noticed this before. - I've translated the DLL code back to Visual Basic, for a few reasons: - To make things easier on VB programmers who want to hack the DLL code. (I'm sure there must be a few of you.) - To ease the work on EEShell2/16. - Because I felt like it. Note that the PowerBASIC DLL is still used for the official release. The re- translated (un-translated? de-translated?) code is in .\noDLL. There's a new project file called EEShell2-noDLL, which is identical to EEShell2-debug, but with .\noDLL\*.bas added in. - The code in .\noDLL\ is mostly "unofficial" and won't actually compile to a DLL as-is (I removed some redundant code); instead, it's included directly in EEShell2-noDLL.vbp. (This is intentional; I don't want more than one mutually-exclusive EEShell2.dll floating around.) If you want to dink around with the code, make sure you read the file "important-noDLL- notes.txt" in the noDLL directory before you do. - Items in the Start Menu's Startup folder are now loaded. The stuff that's there is usually there for a reason. - Minor changes to the way moving buttons are handled. Not visible to end users, just to programmers.
