That was good timing. I ported the 4.2.3 version of ooDialog into trunk
this morning, committed it tonight. That was the one thing I wanted in
ooRexx 4.2.0
I started on the CHANGES doc and need to update the read me, both the text
and the PDF version.
...and apologies to anybody subscribed to the tracker and svn lists :-).

One of them we'll include, using NSIS with support for longer strings. The
other, there is a cool way of detecting executables or DLLs in use and
showing the user what they are. But, it is a little involved and I don't
feel like tackling it now. So, I don't plan on during it for this release.

I say push the *ix 542 RFE to the future. I think we need to discuss
exactly how to provide some type of distribution for Linux that users can
install and execute from their home directories. I'd like to see some type
of good, viable, long-term solution for that, rather than just do something
quick to get it into a 4.2.0 release.
Michael's got a solution to his problem now. Any one else of his skill
level should be able to do the same thing, so I don't see this as a real
pressing issue right now.
Rick, I wasn't sure how long it would take you to get where you are now.
Since we haven't done a feature release for a long time and there are some
nice new features in trunk now, I'm in favor of not adding any more and
doing a beta / release cycle now. Maybe we can get some users to actually
test the beta over Christmas break.
