The Costa GUI, version 1.7.5

Changelog
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changelog

Costa 1.7.5 is a minor release, with few enhancements. Most notable is the
ability to move icons between desktops, without having to delete and recreate
them.
-Icons can now be moved between desktops
-Desktops can be switched using the 1-5 keys on the keyboard, for faster
access than cycling through them
-A bunch of new icons added
Costa 1.8.0 is a minor release, mostly focused on bugfixes. One new feature
is that COSTA.BAT has been replaced with COSTA.EXE.
-New launcher, COSTA.EXE, which works independently of current path, making
the SETUP.EXE program that created COSTA.BAT obsolete. SETUP.EXE has been
removed, and setup of Costa is no longer required. Internal code to handle
paths removed, resulting in quicker execution.
-Fixed a bug that resulted in Minesweeper mistakingly thinking 1 field had
yet to be cleared, when the game had actually been won.
-Fix mouse selection in file browser dialog, that was offset by a few
pixels.
-Fix bug that resulted in icons being unmovable when no mouse driver was
loaded.
-Optimized mouse code to only call mouse driver interrupts if a mouse was
detected at startup, improving speed on systems without a mouse.
-Code to check if file exists rewritten to use MS-DOS interrupt calls,
resulting in quicker execution.
-General optimizations to reduce overall size of Costa.
-Text viewer now uses a variable width font, allowing much longer lines to
be displayed.
