PREVIOUS VERSION INFORMATION

Version Number................:  2.2
Release Date..................:  December 9th, 1997
Notes: Released as unrestricted, straight "nagware" for the first time.
Incorporates a registration key algorithm to turn off the opening nag screen.

Old version bugs:

Start-up "illegal function call" happening on some systems - believed to be
caused by the DATEVALUE function's incompatibility with certain CONFIG.SYS
COUNTRY settings...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Goals for new version
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Figure out some way to purge the first portion of long note files.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes made for new version
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*!* Added a text search capability to the internal file browser.

*!* Fixed small bug - screen format problem with money mode "to-do" items.

*!* Added command line switch (+M) to start the program in "money mode" rather
than the default "time mode".

*!* Made it so that when a project number is revised (<F3> at the project
selection screen) the project's note file is also renamed, if one exists.

*!* Added an option to also purge a project's note file when sending old
records to "partial archive". These archived notes are included in current
project "snapshots" if the archived records are too.

*!* - Fixed start-up "Illegal function call" problem which turned up on some
systems running some non-US DOS configurations.

*!* Fixed "year 2000"-related data file sorting problem.

Notes:

01/15/98 - Just discovered I had a "Year 2000" problem in QuickRef (Yikes!).
Actually, I had just finished fixing the DATEVALUE problem, and I was farting
around changing the system date just for grins. Records didn't sort right...
Traced problem to the SortFormat sub-routine, which was evaluating only the
right-most two places of the entry.day string.

I've fixed it, but need to test it out and make sure all is well.

The DATEVALUE thing: I think I've fixed it by replacing DATEVALUE(DATE$) with
NOW. Actually, I'm pretty darn sure that will fix it... Now that I think of
it, DATEVALUE is intended for parsing user input, which (one would assume)
would be formatted properly in the first place. NOW, on the other hand is more
of an internal thing, and is probably structured to handle whatever it might
get from the system. I'll try to get someone to test it, but I'm pretty
confident about the fix...

01/17/98 - I'm going to do an interim release, version 2.23, and put it at the
website (only) as the self-extracting file.
