                 MAJOR CHANGES SINCE EDWORD PROFESSIONAL V5.6


                              MARTIN REDDY, 1997



This  file documents the major changes/additions which have been made  since
the  previous  release  of EdWord Professional,  i.e  V5.6.   Also  in  this
directory  is  the  file "Development" which lists every  noteworthy  change
which I have made,  However, these are in chronological order and mostly for
my own use so it is not too readable or intuitively layed out.  This file is
a  summary of all the major entries in the "Development" file,  displayed in
a more digestable format.
