History of PSPNUM.VBX:
----------------------

07DEC95: Version 2.2. A minor release with the
following:

  - ParmString property to support parameter string
    for operations
  - Appearance property for 3D (three-dimensional)
    look compliant with VB4/Win95 standard
  - Automatic minimum size for edit box

09NOV95: Version 2.1. An intermediate release with
the following:

  - revised allocation of memory for Text property
    to overcome 'out of memory' problem occurring
    under VB4 16-bit particularly
  - support for cut/copy/paste
  - almost complete elimination of differences in
    behaviour between design-time and run-time
  - replacement of 'AssnRem' operation by 'AssnRem1'
    and 'AssnRem2' to allow remainder from division
    to be assigned for multiple divide operations
  - some run-time only properties now hidden in
    properties window
  - improved and simplified documentation and
    on-line help
  - code rationalisation for forthcoming OCX

04SEP95: Version 2.0. A major release with many
(mostly user-driven) enhancements:

  - fixes to KeyDown/KeyPress/KeyUp events
  - fixes for Click/DblClick events
  - new ValueChange/TextChange events to monitor
    changes to the numeric/displayed value
  - new SelStart/SelLength/SelText events
    (further support planned for later release)
  - new ActiveBackColor property to allow
    easy visual clue as to active control
  - new OverflowCode/OverflowKey properties to
    provide more options for numeric overflow
  - existing OverflowError property made
    redundant
  - new EditProtect property allowing view-only
    numeric display
  - revised caret navigation allowing movement
    and selection over entire displayed value
  - new edit mask components for thousand and
    ten-thousand separators

22JUL95: Version 1.9. A minor release with a
few minor bug fixes. Introduction of on-line
help (PSPNUM.HLP file) and pop-up 'about' box.

15JUN95: Version 1.8. First public release.

JAN95-JUN95: Early non-public releases 1.1 through
1.7 to selected private users for proof of concept.

Future of PSPNUM.VBX:
---------------------

We actively look for user feedback in on-going
development plans. Expect releases at least every
4-6 weeks for the next six months.

All the following (in rough order of priority) should
be delivered in early 1996:

  - Win95/OCX versions
  - Dialog box for mask settings
  - Bound control support (low-priority)
