**************************	Release Version 1.0 ****************************
****************************************************************************

***************
* ENHANCMENTS *
***************
o Added a button based UI for Deal/Hit, Stand, Double and Split. These are 
  dynamic buttons, in that they will only be active for valid actions.
o Added preference for not displaying the player's card total during the deal. This
  is so you can practice counting the cards yourself.
o Your last bet is saved between games.
o New Blackjack icon.


***************
* BUG FIXES   *
***************
Fixed 0.7-100 - Splitting works in all cases, including splitting Aces.
Fixed 0.7-102 - Random number not displayed at startup.
Fixed 0.7-103 - When dealt the 7th card, the card would paint funny.
Fixed 0.7-104 - When playing with multiple decks (4-6), sometimes the cards
                were not sufficiently shuffled to guarantee a random distribution.
Fixed 0.7-105 - Sometimes the preferences would not "stick" and you'd have to reset
                them back to the desired settings.

*************************** Beta Version 0.6 *******************************
****************************************************************************

***************
* BUG NOTICES *
***************
****************************************************************************
Bug 0.6-100:
	This Beta version of Blackjack has a known bug that causes the Pilot
	to lock up after running HotSync then immediately running Blackjack
	again.	Note this does NOT cause data loss.
Fix:
	If the Pilot is locked up, you need to reset it by using a paper clip
	and inserting it into the Reset hole on the back of your Pilot.
Work around:
	Do not run Blackjack immediately after performing a HotSync.  Run another
	application first, then run Blackjack.
