**********************************************************************************
CHANGED PFC OBJECTS
**********************************************************************************
pfcapsrv.pbl(s_printdlgattib):  Item s_printer added.

**********************************************************************************
OBSOLETE PFC/EXTENSION OBJECTS
**********************************************************************************
1) pfccom32.dll is no longer being shipped with PFC.   There was only 1 routine in this dll, pfc_printdlg, which invoked 
the Windows Common Print Dialog.  This routine has been moved to pbvm80.dll and the external function declaration
has been changed in the appropriate platform services. 
ALSO NOTE:  The return code from this dialog is 0 when the user cancels.  It was previously set to -1.  Therefore you
should verify any place you are testing this return code. 

**********************************************************************************
MIGRATION NOTES
**********************************************************************************
1) The rbuttonup event that was mapped on a number of PFC controls is not an appropriate event to invoke Popup menus.  
In some cases, the rbuttonup event will no longer fire due to a change in the Microsoft implementation of these controls.
Therefore, a new event 'contextmenu' mapped to pbm_contextmenu message has been implemented where appropriate 
and the PFC code that had previously been assigned to rbuttonup event has been moved to the contextmenu event.
If you have extended the rbuttonup event in your extension layers, you should review this code and determine whether
it should be moved to the new contextmenu event.
The controls affected are:
pfc_u_ddlb, pfc_u_ddplb, pfc_u_em, pfc_u_lv, pfc_u_lvs, pfc_u_mle, pfc_u_oc and pfc_u_sle.

**********************************************************************************
OTHER NOTES
**********************************************************************************
PowerBuilder 8.0 has implemented a number of Runtime Enhancements, many of which can also be found as PFC 
Functionality.   For example, you can call a new 8.0 CreateDirectory function from PowerScript.  Except where noted 
below, the existing PFC routines that duplicate this functionality were not changed to use the new PowerScript
functions.   This was a deliberate decision intended to avoid any unexpected behavior resulting from the change.   

The Transport object has been obsoleted in PowerBuilder Version 8.  The PFC Transport class, pfc_n_trp, will remain 
in PFC, but may be obsoleted in future versions.
