  Function:     Converts international currency, using rates stored in a local
                data file, which can be simply updated at any time by grabbing
                and saving an html file from a website.

                AmCEx, from v2.0 on, is the DeLuxe version.  It comes with TCP
                socket support and a currencies manager, which allows the user
                to add or delete currencies from its inbuilt list, and also to
                manually edit the rates of ones that have no web-accessible
                rates available for them.


  Requirements: Any Amiga running OS3.0+ and preferably a 256+ colour screen.


  Installation: Simply unarchive to ram: and drag its drawer to your harddrive.

                Fixed all usual paths for keyfile to be placed into, not

                Changed radio-button to allow conversion from any source

                Added currency management window. Currencies can now be added,
                deleted and updated in the list at any time.  There is socket
                support too, now AmCEx can get its own rates via a TCP stack.
                The program has now been made shareware.

  v1.39         -       Sunday 24-Mar-02 20:05:20
                Program further cleaned up, optimised and exe size reduced.

                Removed Enforcer hits. Menus should use prefs pens now.

  v1.33         -       Friday 25-Jan-02 04:49:29
                Fixed: check non-empty locale prefs only, english is default
                guide when no other is found.  Increased height of string.gadget
                again - will this finally fix those probs that some people are
                experiencing?  Due to numerous requests, Croatian Kuna was added
                to the list, though presently only manual update is possible.
                See 'Configuration'.

  v1.30         -       Saturday 19-Jan-02 05:20:59
                Fixed bug with AmigaGuide access under locale and added date
                parsing routine when accessing the mx_large.html file.  This was
                also made the default file to parse, since the other file
                carries no date as to when it was updated. This was researched
                and suggested by Jean Marie Boucher.

  v1.21         -       Tuesday 15-Jan-02 00:32:01
                Now the window can have psychedelic backfill patterns. Also
                fixed the 'Amount' string.gadget - hopefully - and added
                localised guide.

  v1.14         -       Wednesday 09-Jan-02 00:45:50
                Added tooltypes to fix To and From currencies - as it was
                suggested by Pierre Giroux

  v1.12         -       Friday 04-Jan-02 21:56:40
                Defaults now use the first 4 pens on Workbench

  v1.11         -       Friday 21-Dec-01 01:32:15
                Translated and localized all currency descriptors

  v1.10         -       Monday 10-Dec-01 07:35:48
                        unreleased
                Ran program source through CatComp, now it can support the
                international community it was made for.

  v1.0          -       Wednesday 05-Dec-01 16:45:28
                        unreleased
