Dear all,

I would like to announce the final release 1.0 of APMLib, the library to make use of
the APM (Advanced Power Management) interface from most modern BIOSes.

I remind you that using this interface you will be able to power down your system,
suspend it, and reboot it, as well as previously flush all the disk caches that may
be in use.

APMLib 1.0 is the natural evolution from APMLib 0.9, where DJGPP port has been added
by Florian Xaver, as well as the APMLib global function (now in Pascal as well).
There are slight changes and corrections from APMLib1.0 Beta2 by Florian, please, read
the documentation and sources if you need further help.
The list of tested compilers is: 
BorlandC 3.0  and  TurboPascal 7.0 (16-bit)
DJGPPC/C++    and  FreePascal 0.9.x.  (32-bit DPMI)

This package is distributed under the GNU-LGPL 2.1 license, and is the result of the
cooperation of Florian Xaver and myself (Aitor Santamaria).

Future wishes include testing it under older compilers (TC2, TC1.1, TP5.5) as well as
others, like Pacific C. The ACPI could be a reasonable aim as well, but I myself am
not planning to touch them in a near future.
