Version 1.0 of Dropper (yes, version 1.0 at last!) has been uploaded to
cica.  It can be found (for the moment) in the uploads directory as
drop_10.zip.

Dropper is a small program which allows you to perform drag and drop to 
the Windows desktop. It is similar in many ways to the NeXT style icon 
dock programs around at the moment. Rather than requiring that drag and 
drop is performed to a strip along one side of the screen however, 
Dropper allows any part of the desktop to be used as a target. Dropper
requires Windows 3.1.

Changes since Dropper version 0.4
=================================

o   Fixed a couple of bugs in "Snap to Grid" and "Snap to Edge" which
    meant that they weren't consistent with "Arrange".
o   Fixed a bug in Snap to Grid which resulted in icons "walking" across
    the screen when clicked upon.
o   Finally put a keyboard interface into the dialogs (why didn't I do
    this ages ago?).
o   Introduced an "About box".
o   "Arrange" now wraps round at the end of a column and won't overlay
    icons over others.
o   "Double Click" option.
o   "Hide when Minimized" option.
o   "Full Pathnames" option.
o   "Browse" button in the "Run program" dialog box.
o   Command line history in the "Run program" dialog box.
o   "Stay in Background" option reinstated by popular demand.
o   On-line help.
o   Work around for a Notepad "feature" which means that opening a file
    without an extension results in Notepad trying to open that file with
    ".TXT" appended.
o   More robust "HorribleHack"
o   Fixed a bug with the experimental version which resulted in screen
    savers not working and in Windows pausing every few seconds.
o   Misc. bug fixes (yes, yet more).
