WPTools v. 3.3 (20/1/2012, Henk Kelder)	Readme/What's new	* WPTools v.3.3 * This package is just a compilation of the latest Henk Kelder's WPTools 3.2 and Association Editor 2.1, plus two convenient scripts: a) CheckAll.CMD, used to clean up WorkPlace Shell from crap information (use with care... make a backup of your INI files before proceeding). It is usefull just like CCleaner is for Windows. b) MakeIcon.CMD, used to create applications' icons. A folder named "WorkPlace Tools" is created inside the Utilities defaulta eComStation folder.
