REVISION HISTORY

1.04 Update 5/21/99
	Fixes
	*Fixed a pager bug where if your modem was in use and pager alerts were enabled,
	 and ipPulse tried to use the pager, it would get hung up trying to send the
	 page and also create a large pager.log file. Now, if the modem is in use, it will
	 try 6 times waiting 5 seconds between each try. Errors are logged to pager.log.
	*Fixed a problem with snmpwalk where it could have crashed under certain limited
	 circumtances.

1.03 Update 5/11/99
	Fixes
	*Spawned SNMP walk processes now have a 60 second maximum lifetime.
	*SNMP walk has now been version updated to UCD 3.6.1.
	*Top of target list is now visible when program is started.
	*Paging Setup and Email Setup now properly launch HTML help.

	Additions
	*When a row in the main window is selected, it is now highlighted all
	 the way across the row.
	*A program can now be launched upon failure. You must assure that the
	 program you launch is self-terminating.
	*The target number of the failed target can now be sent to a numeric
	 pager. See Paging Setup.
	*Help file updated.

1.02 Update 4/6/99
	Fixes
	*Text changed on percentage returned packets to correctly reflect how
	 the PASS/FAIL triggering actually works.
	*All dialog box text checked to ensure that text clipping is eliminated.
	*Tab key ordering in all dialogs corrected.
	*Log files now include tab character formatting for easier import into
	 spreadsheets and databases.

	Additions
	*Pager setup now includes control of the specific TAPI/COM port used and
	 includes modem init string control. Pager modem logging was also added.
	*Help file updated.

1.01 Update 1/5/99
	Fixes
	*AlphaPager now correctly appends the error message to the header when
	sending an alphanumeric error page.
	*Memory leaks due to premature thread termination fixed.
	*Duplicate <BODY> tag removed from error web page generator.

1.00 Release Version 10/9/98
