What's New
^^^^^^^^^^
Changes from version 0.07 are:

      Helterline!). 

    . Error() now gets error messages directly from WININET.DLL.

    . The PLL file now comes in 2 versions, one for Perl version
      5.001 (build 100) and one for Perl version 5.003 (build 300
      and higher). Everybody should be happy now :)
