                     =================================

  April 1, 1994    : 3rd General release.

     ADDED  :  Mouse compatibility checking
               Label Alignment
               Calendar lookup in Set or Delete Appointments by Date Range
               Scroll List Boxes with PGUP/PGDN from most menus

  IMPROVED :   Improved Setup program
               Numerous cosmetic changes, producing a `cleaner' look
               ESC key now backs out of nearly all data entry boxes/menus
               Trap for adding records with no name
               Filter Picking list jump with A-Z

               Text Editor no longer `wraps' on last line

     FIXED :   No programmer likes to admit that one of their creations has
               `bugs'. The previous release of StarSearcher (1.12) was rushed
               to market in order to meet a CD-ROM publishing date. A large
               number of last minute changes were instituted just prior to
               release, and several bugs made it into the final version. For
               this, I can only plead insanity.  This new version has under
               gone extensive testing and should be very stable.

               For any of those who tried version 1.12 and experienced diffi-
               culties, please accept my apologies. All registered owners of
               StarSearcher will receive a free update to version 1.13.
