What's new in version 2.01...

Added the directive 'noerror'. This allows the HTML author to control the 
display of the CoolFusion Streaming Error Dialog Box and is useful with content 
which does not conform fully with the CoolFusion compression guidelines. 
The following example causes CoolFusion to display a 176x144 window which plays
without user intervention and does not display the streaming error dialog box.

</embed>

See http://www.iterated.com/coolfusn/help/cf_help.htm for more information on 
the 'noerror' directive.

1) The nomenu=TRUE|FALSE directive now performs correctly.

2) The command onlbuttondown="string command" has been fixed and performs as 
   documented.

3) The string command 'step' now performs as documented.

4) Displaying the About Box with "large fonts" selected now results in a 
   properly sized about image.

5) The 'streamonldoubleclk' directive has been rewritten to perform optimally
   with all compression methods.

6) Added the directive 'noerror'. See Commands documentation for further 
   information. 

Note:
    Careful consideration was given to properly handle all possible 
    adverse conditions which CoolFusion could encounter. Because 
    of the huge variety of AVI files and CODECs, it is possible to encounter 
    a combination which does not perform well in a streaming environment 
    and undefined behavior could sometimes result. Of course, this makes sense 
    considering the CODECs and the AVI files were not designed or tested 
    under the aforementioned environment. If you encounter such a 
    combination, please forward the findings to support@iterated.com.

Take Notice:

1) AVI files can be large. Be sure you have at least 10+ megabytes free disk space for 
   CoolFusion temporary files.

2) When viewing video content, be sure to select the right mouse button over the
   image to gain access to the full functionality of the CoolFusion Plug-in.

Limitations/Known Problems:

1) Printing is not implemented.

2) Clips that are not compressed at a 1:1 interleave can cause shrieking audio 
   output and will not stream well.

3) Clips without sound can stream poorly.

4) HTML pages with 5 or more windows can cause sluggish Netscape performance.

5) Internet connections at or below 28.8bits\sec can cause playback of content to 
   stop and restart during play.
