Change Version Number

Hello Herman

Really great work. As simple to use as the JASC PSP was compare to the new COREL Shits. The interface is perfect for me. Only a simple thing. When you run the new 1.6 script, the pop window continue to confirm the 1.5 is well done... ;-)

Maybe that will be fine to have a simple "About" in the panel to see information about your work, the present version, and why not, a direct link to your site.

Nice day to you
