*	
Upgraded EasyPatterns to v2.2.
*	
Vista installation support.


What's New in EasyPatterns v2.7
*	
Added EasyPatterns for [dayname], [daynumber], and a function [ascii()] or 
[asc()] which can be used to insert arbitrary ASCII codes in either hex (eg 
$ff) or decimal (e.g. 255) format. EasyPatterns now can accept counts and 
quantities in either hex or decimal format.


What's New in EasyPatterns v2.6
*	
Added EasyPattern keywords [ number, numbers, leftangle, rightangle, 
lessthan, greaterthan ]
*	
Fixed handling of> characters - the EasyPattern was not built correctly.


What's New in EasyPatterns v2.5
*	
New help file.
*	
Patterns can now be designed using point and click! Just paste in the text 
you want to match, highlight the text you want to capture, and then start 
matching!
*	
You can now define a replace string, and EP Helper shows you what the 
substituted characters will be. You can also use a right-click menu to insert 
all the matched fields as CSV data or Tab-delimited data, or to insert pieces 
of the matched expression.
*	
EP now inserts commas between parts of an EasyPattern to make it easier to 
read.
*	
When EP finds punctuation in a variable field, it allows all types of 
punctuation, not just those found in the original text.
*	
Fixed EP for [CRLF].


What's New in EasyPatterns v2.4
*	
Added right-click menus to EasyPattern and Perl regex fields to make building 
patterns easier.
*	
Fixed EasyPattern for [month,monthnumber,day,hour] so that they match the 
long version of the pattern first, then try the shorter variations.


What's New in EasyPatterns v2.3
*	
Added new Reparse option to automatically reparse the EasyPattern or perl 
pattern as it changes, and show what it matches. This is extremely useful for 
determining where a pattern match is going wrong.


What's New in EasyPatterns v2.2
*	
Version changed to 2.2 because first release was originally 2.1.
*

- [verticalwhitespace, vspace, worddelimiter, linedelimiter,

*	
EasyPatterns now will NOT attempt to combine OR'd negated and non-negated

What's New in EasyPatterns v1.4
*	
Brought up to date with TextPipe 7.0.7
