                    Method from Preferences/Other screen (no longer needed).
                 Added TI MicroWriter laser printer driver
                 Added option to force adherence to USPS mail guidelines

                    selected but not printed due to incomplete address.
01/08/95  2.5j Added two new filters on Index/Filter menu

01/05/95  2.5i Completed Import Duplicate Checking options.  WML will
                    now behave according to the definition on the
                    Preferences/Other screen.
                 Added Import Technique definition to control the amount
                    of translation WML will perform on an input file.
01/05/95  2.5h I put an "f" instead of a "d" in a variable name in the
                    DBF import routine which caused an error 10.  Oops!
12/23/94  2.5g Corrected minor problem on Names data entry screen; WML
                    was asking for a country name on new entries even
                    if the country setting was USA or Canada.
12/15/94  2.5f Improved error handling on the Data Entry/Names screen
                    in cases where the index gets damaged
12/07/94  2.5e Corrected problems with international mailings in which
                    the country did not print unless the country setting
                    was "International" and the address was considered
                    invalid if it did not have data in the State/Prov
                    field.
11/30/94  2.5d Corrected Query by Group bug which did not correctly
                    select entries which were in all of the chosen groups
                 WordPerfect Export now separates first and surname fields
11/17/94  2.5c Cosmetic enhancement to entry look-up window.
                 Corrected SHARE violation with File/Back-up and
                    File/Restore functions (affected networks and some
                    Windows users).
11/15/94  2.5b Changed impact (dot matrix) continuous label printing
                    so that it closes the printer port after printing a
                    test label in case a network or other spooled
                    printer is used.
11/12/94  2.5a Names look-up window now reflects chosen index (if
                    Company Name sequence is active, company name shows
                    first, etc.)
                 Improved dot matrix label spacing
11/10/94  2.5  Updated ASCII import to allow either CR or LF to signal
                    the end of a record, to allow international
                    characters, and to allow quotes & commas within
                    quotation-bounded fields.
                 First release with working WordPerfect import.
                 Removed Unregistered Edition delay.
10/25/94  2.4y Fixed problem with reading older CONFIG files (prior to
(beta test          version 2.3 or so).
 version)        Added support for HP LaserJet 4+
                 Removed Unregistered opening delay & reduced exit delay
                 Added bar code printing for dot matrix printers
                 Added label content definitions on Preferences/Continuous
                    Labels screen
                 Improved dot matrix labels printing to allow line spacing to
                    be adjusted if number of lines will not fit on labels at
                    standard LPI setting.  Some printers use 1/180" spacing,
                    others use 1/216" spacing; if the spacing is wrong on your
                    printer I'd really appreciate knowing about it!
                 Fixed laser labels line spacing problem
                 Fixed problems with bar code printing on laser labels
                 Enhanced group file usage to allow for a group file to be
                    used if in the current directory, otherwise the WML.EXE
                    directory is used
                 When changing a file's name and/or description, the old
                    description was not displaying.  Fixed.
                 Fixed cursor key usage on last mailing date fields.
10/13/94  2.4x Fixed minor problem with international postal codes and
                    zip codes which are not in the Smart Zip file.
                 Improved handling mixed international & domestic entries
10/12/94  2.4w Fixed problem with opening files when only one file is
                    present.
                 Fixed problems with SHARE (networks) on the Preferences
                    Printers screen (caused error 70 - permission denied).
                 Changed Phone Book to follow the selected index sequence
                    rather than always printing in personal name order
09/29/94  2.4u Corrected problem with abbreviation checking which occurred
                    if spaces were entered at the end of a field
                 Corrected problem with laser labels not printing zip code
                 Corrected zip code look-up problem if WML started from
                    a directory other than where WML.EXE resides
09/15/94  2.4t Corrected minor function key listing errors on Data Entry/
                    Names screen
                 Fixed problem with context-sensitive help topic look-up
                 Enhanced Address Duplicate Checking to only show duplicates
                    if they have the same address AND zip code
09/12/94  2.4s Added logic to detect possible memory shortage problems
                 Improved mouse support on Backup/Restore/Format routines
09/07/94  2.4r Checksum digit was being miscalculated.  Also, I
                    misunderstood the Post Office guidelines for 11-digit
                    zips: they ONLY apply to bar codes.  So WML will no
                    longer expand a 9-digit zip to 11-digits except for the
                    bar code.  The correction character (the extra 10th or
                    12th digit) only applies to bar codes as well, so WML
                    will no longer print these except in bar codes.
                 Fixed an error with the CONFIG.WDT file which crept in
                    some time ago which caused WML to bomb.
08/27/94  2.4p Fixed problem which created double index entries when
                    updating files to version 2.4o; this problem could also
                    be fixed by using File/Reindex option to index files a
                    second time or by re-opening the file again, in which
                    case WML would detect the problem and correct it.  This
                    problem only applied to files which existed when user
                    upgraded to 2.4o
                 Fixed problem with SHARE.EXE  this applies to networks
                    and most users of Windows.  If you have been receiving
                    an error 70 (Permission Denied), this was due to the
                    DESCRIPT.ION file not being properly closed. Without
                    SHARE it didn't matter; with it, WML bombed.  Also, the
                    DESCRIPT.ION file was being accessed exclusively (that
                    is, with full file locking); it is now shared so that
                    more than one task may access it simultaneously.
08/25/94  2.4o Minor update to duplicate info window
                 Minor update to recall last record added to a file
                 Minor update to use error tone defined on Pref/Other for
                    dup info window
                 Removed F3 function key being used on State field to list
                    state/province names; use F1 while on State field
                 Minor update to show "Group" highlighted as soon as groups
                    are defined for an entry, rather than only after saved
                 Corrected zip code error which sometimes caused a city to
                    be associated with the wrong zip code.
                 Removed abbreviation checking for City field - I think it
                    got in the way (e.g., "St" is more commonly "Street" than
                    it is "Saint")
                 Added F1/List function for City field
                 Corrected problem with Times-Used and First-Use calculations
                 Added zip code to address index so that the same address
                    or box number in different post offices will no longer
                    generate a duplicate address warning
                 Corrected problem with entering extended characters using
                    Alt + numeric-keypad
                 Corrected problem with abbreviations which could expand the
                    string beyond the size of the field; now if there is not
                    enough room the abbreviation is not expanded
08/23/94  2.4n Fixed problem when doing automatic 11-digit zip code
                    calculation for an entry with a 9-digit zip (WML would
                    crash if either address line contained a single word)
                 Added message after first sheet of laser labels is printed
                 Updated laser label sheet margins: WML now applies the top
                    margin you provide for the top & bottom margins, rather
                    than assuming the printer has half-inch margins.
                 PCL 5 scalable fonts were not being properly accessed,
                    resulting in 12 points always being used
                 Updated laser labels: 11-digit zip bar codes did not fit on
                    3-across label sheets; so if the labels are defined as
                    3-across (or more) only 5- or 9-digit zips are used for
                    the bar code.
                 Updated & expanded on-line help descriptions & topics.
                 Corrected problems with duplicate checking options.
08/18/94  2.4m Added warning for insufficient working memory (RAM) which
                    could cause lock-ups
                 Problem fixed with specifying /M (monochrome) switch or
                    an alternative drive on command line
08/13/94  2.4k When an existing record's personal name and company name
                    were erased the data record was being saved even though
                    this made the entry invalid and subsequently caused WML
                    to bomb. WML now prevents the record from being saved
                    and also will properly handle a bad record encountered
                    in a file.
08/10/94  2.4j Mail dates were defaulting to blank rather than the date
                    contained in the field - fixed!
08/07/94  2.4i Corrected minor problem handling phone numbers with "Canada
                    plus U.S.A." setting.
                 Added Country field (which can also be used for Puerto Rico
                    Uban District) which shows up only with "International"
                    setting
08/07/94  2.4h File descriptions (long names) are now stored in standard
                    4DOS "DESCRIPT.ION" file, so if you have 4DOS you can
                    see file descriptions using the "DIR" command
                 Mouse support enhanced on File/Change screen
                 Fixed problem on File/Change screen: if file name was not
                    modified WML was trying to rename it anyway
                 Support added for HP LaserJet 4L and Canon BJ-10 & BJ-600

                    start-up if ZipCodes.WDT file existed
07/24/94  2.4c MAILCODE.SF? font files no longer needed for bar codes;

                 Fixed problem with Alt-key toggles

07/19/94  2.4  Added file "links" to What Vehicle History? software
                 Enhanced Smart Zip - now shows multiple cities in a
                    pop-up menu on Data Entry/Names screen
                 Was ending in green; now resets to white-on-black

                    with v2.1 file conversion fixed in the process)
