Dear customer:
    We are happy to provide you with this updated EBL version 4.01.
    In this edition there are not only a few bug fixes, but also
    several new functions based on suggestions from customers
    like yourself. We look forward to improving the product
    further to meet your needs. Complete details of all changes
    are shown below.


DETAIL OF CHANGES TO EBL-PLUS VERSION 4.01

    -	KEY("  ")  function  within  an  expression  returns
	"KEY020" which matches the INKEY  function. Formerly
	it returned " " which was different from INKEY.

    -	Recognition of DOS 4.x rather than just 4.0

    -	RANDOM(  {{min, } max  {,seed}} ) function  has been
	added.	The  default min is 0, default	max is	999,
	default seed is random based on time.  If  only  one
	parameter is supplied, it is a max and	the min will
	be 0.  If  seed is not given, seed  is random (based
	on  system time).  If  a  seed	is  given,  it	will
	restart a repeatable pseudo random pattern.

    -	Correction made to DIR(file,R) command	so  that  it
	will restore properly.

    -	TRANSLATE( string {,{to list}{,{from list}{,pad}}} )
	function has been added.  This function translates a
	string to different  characters.  If  a character in
	the  string is found in the input list of characters
	(from),  then	it   will   be	translated  to	 the
	corresponding character in the output list (to).  If
	the character  is not found in the  input list, then
	no change is made.  If	there are more characters in
	{from}	than {to}, it will  be translated  to a  pad
	character.  The  default  pad character  is a blank.
	The default output list is empty (null).  If  only a
	string	is  supplied  without any  lists,  then  the
	string	will  be  translated   to  upper  case.  For
	example:

	   TRANSLATE("12/23/56","-","/")    == "12-23-56"
	   TRANSLATE("abcde","HEX","bcd")   == "aHEXe"
	   TRANSLATE("abcde","1","bcd",".") == "a1..e"

    -	Correction  made  to an error inadvertantly reported
	when an extended BATXV variable was used  in a SHELL
	command.

    -	Correction made to duplicate CHDIR() function listed
	in help screen.
