   Hello All,   
      
   I have been very busy as of late but have stolen some time late-night before    
   bed to work on Cheepware.  What I've been doing:   
      
   - Rewrote the string centering code.  It was a little strange so I rewrote it    
   completely, adding in missing support to correctly center strings using either    
   pipe- or LORD-style color codes.   
      
   - Moving some custom routines out of my old doorkit code and putting it into    
   MannDoor directly.   
      
   - Optimizing a lot of code here and there.   
      
   - Please note that MannDoor is not fully backwards-compatible with older    
   versions.  I may eventually rename the doorkit amd make it my own with all of    
   this work I'm putting into it.   
      
   - I am trying to hunt down a harmless but annoying bug in MannDoor that only    
   affects DOS doors.  I've contacted MannDoor's original author but after a    
   month, I've received no reply.   
      
   - Started working on documentation.  The worst part of programming.    
      
   Once I get the code tweaked a bit more, I'll release my new version of    
   MannDoor.
