- Read-only attribute will automatically be removed on any file that SH3 Commander modifies, as opposed to the current error message and abort.
- Number of days spent in base can be set between 0 and 2075 (ie the length of the war in Europe), as opposed to the current 100 day upper limit (I have no idea where that came from!).
- Title bar will display the full path to the SH3 installation, to better support and recognise multiple SH3 installations.
- Double clicking the "Existing careers..." entry will no longer collapse the careers list. This is just a minor thing that annoyed me.
- Clicking the "Existing careers..." entry will display the full path to the SH3 save folder. There's a reason for this which will become apparent over the next week or so as well.
- "before patrol 1" careers will be excluded from the careers list, because these careers don't actually exist!
- Will check if SH3 is running and advise the user to exit SH3 first, to avoid I/O errors and other file conflicts.
One thing I want to stress is that this release will NOT break any current compatibilities with ANY mod. For current SH3Cmdr users it will just be a one file release which will overwrite the current SH3Cmdr.exe.
BTW, I have changed a bit of the code which *may* make SH3Cmdr backward compatible with Win98 and ME. If anyone running SH3 on Win98 or ME (with IE4 or greater installed) wants to test this latest SH3Cmdr, pls let me know.

Re the above, I would like a few people to test the latest release. Whilst it's been well tested on more "mainstream" systems (ie Windows XP with IE6), I'd like to have peace of mind that it works on other systems and configurations. I am particularly after people running SH3/SH3Cmdr under any of the following environments:
-Windows ME, Windows 98 or Windows 2000 or
-Without Internet Explorer installed
All you'll need to do is replace your current SH3Cmdr.exe with the new one I'll send you, and if it opens OK, all is sweet.
Pls PM me and I'll email you the link. Please only PM if you are a confident SH3Cmdr user.
If I can get a few testers over the next day or so, and assuming that all works fine, R2.6.1 will be released in the next few days.
