Notice to Users of bBaseII - Version 5.3
                  ========================================

There is an unfortunate bug in bBaseII Version 5.3, which was released
on Fred Fish Disk 609.  This bug may cause the program to terminate
when a new database is being created, AND the default value of 9 fields 
is accepted.  This is entirely due to an oversight on my part.

If this problem is encountered, there are 2 possible solutions:

  1.  Delete the "9" value with the backspace key, and re-enter the
      desired number of fields.  A "9" may be re-entered, if desired.

  2.  Use Version 5.31 or subsequent, which has the bug corrected.


Also, I have noticed that attempting to utilize the "-f" switch when
starting bBase will quite often generate an "Illegal Function Call" error.
This problem was also solved in V5.31, but at a price.  It is now necessary
to append an "!" to the end of the filename,  ie.

                     Run bBaseII -fDF0:Files/Recipes!

I recognize that this is rather chintzy, but I personally like this feature,
and it was the only way I could find to make it work reliably.


My apologies if this has created any problems for anyone.
