Here is a new version, DP26A.  It includes file DP26A.EXE (which should be 
renamed to DP.EXE when you install it,) DP.SYS, DATA.MSG DPEXP.COM, DPIMP.COM, 
and STE-MGR.COM.  I believe these are now all synchronized for features.

This new version of DP includes a fix for the bug in DP255E and two new 
functions, LOWER.CASE[arg] and ICAPS[arg].  (This last function capitalizes 
the first letter of each word.)

DPEXP and DPIMP both have a new command line flag /Q which stands for "quick." 
The displayed text is markedly shorter, which increases the speed dramatically 
on today's newer machines.  However, if you have errors, you will need to 
leave off the /Q in order to see where they occur.

DPEXP has an additional flag, /E, which stands for nothing -- it's just a 
letter!  It causes the formulas to be decompiled.  This is of little use to 
anyone except the foreign language contingent (who are Europeans -- now you 
see where the /E comes from!)  Ordinarily DPEXP exports the text for formulas 
as it was entered.  This means, however, that the language inside the formula 
is not translated even if the formula section of DATA.MSG (used to produce 
DP.SYS) has been translated.  In the past this has meant that our foreign 
language users have been forced to use the english names for functions.  
(Long ago I shipped a version of DPEXP called DPEXPE.COM to take care of 
this.)  If you use the /E option and the DP.SYS file has the function names 
translated, the comments will be lost, but the formulas will be translated 
for valid formulas.  
(Invalid formulas will still use the text as entered, since the compilation 
failed.)  
Foreign language users please note, I do not necessarily recommend translating 
the structure export / import section of DATA.MSG  that begins with message 
238.  If you leave these alone, you can safely export and import any .STE 
file without regard of the version of DP.SYS you're using.  Otherwise you 
have to be careful or you may blow your .STR file away.  However, if you want 
to do it, the capability is there.
