Compatibility issues on FDC 1.3
===============================
FDC 1.3 was created on a Pentium 133 PC, using Matlab for Windows version
5.1 and Simulink version 2.1. The programs do not function under previous
versions of Matlab/Simulink. Use FDC 1.1 (beta) if you still apply
Matlab 3.5/Simulink 1.2; use FDC 1.2 if you still apply Matlab 4.x /
Simulink 1.x. Copies of older FDC versions can be obtained at the contact
address below. FDC 1.3 has been tested successfully with Matlab 5.3 and
Simulink 3.0.

If you have created Simulink systems which themselves call systems from FDC
1.1 (beta) or FDC 1.2, it should be possible to apply those systems in
conjuction with FDC 1.3. However, your systems may be affected by
compatibility problems caused by Matlab itself! The most important one:
Matlab 5.x / Simulink 2.x don't support calling graphical systems with an
S-function block anymore. The only way to find out whether or not your
custom-made systems for FDC 1.1/1.2 function properly with FDC 1.3 is to
try. It is advised NOT to mix-up the files from the FDC 1.3 distribution
diskette with older versions in order to avoid compatibility problems for
the toolbox itself.

Regarding the HTML-based on-line help facility: users of Netscape Commu-
nicator 4.0 should keep a copy of this browser running in the background,
since Matlab 5.1 is not able to open it by itself when required. This
problem does not affect older versions of Netscape and Microsoft Internet
Explorer. So far, I have only tested the HTML-files with IE3, but since
those files don't use the newest fancy Internet options they should be
suitable for all modern webbrowsers.

Note: see the website of The Mathworks for more information about the
use of HTML-help for newer browsers.
