+	SHELL32/SHLWAPI	development status
             
 1. Introduction
 ---------------
-All parts of this DLL are currently under development. About a third of
-base functionality is roughly in place. The missing parts are the icon
-(shell icon cache) handling and the dialogs provided from the dll like
-the file copy status window.
+many parts of this DLL are currently under development. 
 
-The basis comes from Marcus Meissner and I <juergen.schmied@metronet.de>
-implemented the classes and filled in function stubs.
-            
-2. General Information
-----------------------
+The missing parts are:
 
-3. Functions
-------------
+- contextmenus:
+  - shell extensions
+  - new document
 
-4. Classes
-----------
+- shellfolder:
+  - shell extensions are only partially working
 
-4.1 IContextMenu
-----------------
-    Status:
-	- development started
+- resources:
+  - many build-in icons are missing
 
-    Undocumented:
-    word95 gets a IContextMenu Interface and calls HandleMenuMsg()
-    whitch should only a member of IContextMenu2. 
-    I suppose IContextMenu and IContextMenu2/3 are using the same vtable
-    and are in effect the same.
- 
-4.2 IShellExtInit
------------------
- only interface definition
- 
-4.3 IEnumIDList
----------------
-  Status:
-      - Almost finished.
+- shell notifications
+  - not aware of seperated addressspaces
 
- 
-4.4.IShellFolder
-----------------
-  Status:
-      - roughly finished.
+- iconcache
+  - not aware of seperated addressspaces
+  - shell extensions
+
+- BrowseForFolder
+  - only core functionality implemented
+
+- drag/drop/shellole
+  - only core functionality implemented
 
+- shelllinks
+  - read only
+  - only core functionality implemented
+  - dialogs: nothing done
 
-4.5 IShellView
---------------
-  Status:
-      - under development
+- functions
+  - many functions of shlwapi are not jet implemented
+  - many special functions used only by explorer are incomplete
+  - SHFileOperation and related dialogs not implemented
+    
+- guid's
+  - should be moved into the module
 
+- property sheets for files and folder
+  - noting done
 
-4.6 IShellBrowser
------------------
-  Status:
-	- only interface definition
-	  it's implemented by the explorer
-	  don't know if we need it 
+BUGS:
+- incorrect behaviour of the IShellFolder within the office-style
+  dialogs
  
-4.7. PIDL Manager
------------------
-  Status:
-    - roughly complete will be migrated to a set of functions because it's
-    not holding any instance data,
+2. General Information
+----------------------
 
-  Undocumented:
-  MS says: the abID of SHITEMID should be treated as binary data and not
-  be interpreted by applications. Applies to everyone but MS itself.
-  Word95 interprets the contents of abID (Filesize/Date) so we have to go
-  for binary compatibility here.
-  I expect the file open/close dialog in comctl32 does so also.
+<all additional informations are moved to the header and source files>
 
+3. Informations
+---------------
+- nearly complete informations about the binary formats of *.lnk avaiable at
+  www.wotsit.org
 
-5. Structures
--------------
+- www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/4942/
