VERSION HISTORY

     Version 2.00  of the 440 Spoiler (44SPL200.EXE), released 1 July, 1990, is
the second  release of  the 440  Spoiler.  It is preceded only by Version 1.01,
released 28 January 1990.

     Major new features are as follows.

1.   An alternate  high-density display  that shows  all transceiver  operating
     parameters, including  all 110  memories (90 for unsplit operation plus 20
     for split operation) on a single screen.

2.   Numeric-keypad control  of main  tuning and  increment  tuning,  including
     tuning of  all memories  as well  as both VFOs.  Memories and VFOs altered
     during tuning  may (optionally) be left in their altered state or restored
     to their original state.  From keypad tuning, all memories become VFOs.

3.   Keypad control  of transmitting  (a  feature  which  may  be  disabled  on
     installation).


4.   Advanced scanning  capabilities that  provide memory  scanning, frequency-
     range ("programmed")  scanning, and  any combination of both that you care
     to program.  You specify the delays for group scanning individually within
     up to  six groups,  and you specify the range-scanning speed for up to six
     ranges.

5.   Enhanced color  graphic display  that  uses  highlighting  to  dynamically
     illuminate current operating parameters.  Reverse-video for LCD displays.

6.   A new  installation program that permits easy configuration of the program
     for hardware and operating features.

7.   A  clear-cut   distinction  between  the  program  features  available  in
     shareware examination  copies and  those available  in registered  copies.
     Registered  copies   include   the   following   enhancements;   shareware
     examination copies do not.

     A.   Transmit keying from the keyboard

     B.   Use of keypad accelerator and decelerator keys during tuning.

     C.   Between-session saving of edited scan parameters.
     D.   Opening of memory files not specified during installation.

     We hope you enjoy version 2 of the 440 Spoiler.  Even the examination copy
without enhanced  features is  a considerably greater operating convenience (or
necessity) than  commercial packages  provide.   Registered copies,  of course,
make the commercial competition work a little harder at the same time that they
help improve the Spoiler moreso beyond any commercial competitive packages.
