Hello All,

I have been very busy as of late but have stolen some time late-night before 
bed to work on Cheepware.  What I've been doing:

- Rewrote the string centering code.  It was a little strange so I rewrote it 
completely, adding in missing support to correctly center strings using either 
pipe- or LORD-style color codes.

- Moving some custom routines out of my old doorkit code and putting it into 
MannDoor directly.

- Optimizing a lot of code here and there.

- Please note that MannDoor is not fully backwards-compatible with older 
versions.  I may eventually rename the doorkit amd make it my own with all of 
this work I'm putting into it.

- I am trying to hunt down a harmless but annoying bug in MannDoor that only 
affects DOS doors.  I've contacted MannDoor's original author but after a 
month, I've received no reply.

- Started working on documentation.  The worst part of programming. <G>

Once I get the code tweaked a bit more, I'll release my new version of 
MannDoor.
