                     README file for DELIMIT v3.28


The documentation for DELIMIT was fully updated with version 3.26.

The current version of DELIMIT is v3.28

------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in v3.28  08/03/93
------------------------------------------------------------------
   1)	Fix Bug.  When a CR (Carriage Return) is the last character 
	in the input buffer, the character AFTER the LF (Line Feed) 
	would be lost.  For many files, this condition never occurs.

   2)   Allow text files from the Macintosh be processed correctly.  
	The Mac ends records with a CR only, not a CR-LF.  Fixing 
	the bug also solves this problem.

   3)	Allow blank lines in the .PAR file.  Allow use of the ';' 
	to be a comment.


------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in v3.27  04/25/93
------------------------------------------------------------------
   1)  	Add the @ parm.  This allows for the conversion of Signed Numeric 
    	fields from mini computers and mainframes.

   2)	Show Record counts: Records being read, records being written.
