Version 2.1 - uploaded on March 22 to 
<http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia/Screenshots.htm> contained  one 
commented line too many in the script of button "DisplayFirstFile" that 
could cause unexpected results in some situations (Nobody, though, seems 
to have noticed this so far).

Those interested in the search stack should re-download version 2.1 
again. A corrected version 2.1 was uploaded today, March 27.

 Some improvements in the works and coming soon:

 - Checking if the (Rev) engine launches the search stack in the same 
main folder or (which is also permissible) the plugins folder of this 
main folder.
Reason: Especially on WindowsXP it might happen - when you have several 
Rev or Metacard folders - that you launch a stack in a folder different 
from the engine folder because the system remembers the last access to a 
directory. In such a situation the search stack would not work.

- Improved text extraction from the XML files: Tabs (that can appear 
when converting a HTML text with its tags) will be substituted by CRs, 
which will result in a better layout and shorter "found" lines

- An update button for the "pure-text" versions of the Help files (that 
are stored as arrays in the search stack) to provide the opportunity to 
adapt the search to possibly improved XML files - in case someone of the 
Rev team should try to fix the "loose ends" in the XML files or add 
other genuine improvements.
