      Program:       Histopic Version 1.07 Mar 6, 1996

      Requirements:  Windows 95. 

      Description:   Capable of creating and searching a database of 
                     names of files.  Primarily intended to keep a 
                     history of graphic names to allow the user to 
                     avoid downloading previously retrieved material. 
 
      Installation:  From the File manager, double click on install.exe
                     or invoke the run option from the file menu option
                     and type in install.exe.

      Order info:    Available via the Histopic help menu option. 

      Suggestions:   Scan the "getting started" section of the help file
                     after installation. 

      Ver 01.02:     Fixed storage overlay in change directory routine.                    
 
      Ver 01.03:     Program functioned abnormally when database count
                     exceeded 5050 because of storage wraparound. Resolved.
                     Evaluation copy did not exit gracefully when 
                     evaluation period expired. Resolved.
  
      Ver 01.04:     Nasty bug in evaluation copy caused sort to lose 
                     pointer (started in the middle of table instead of 
                     start of table). Problem manifested itself as a 
                     protection exception.  Resolution tested clean. 

      Ver 01.05:     Item : Make initial screen smaller 
                     Item : Reflect deletes immediately versus next restart
                     Item : New subfuction allows user to resequence the 
                            database in order to speed up the initial sort.  
                     Item : Fixed bug having to do with copying table 
                            entries over memory segment boundries.  The bug
                            showed up at 5041 entries and resulted in some
                            entries not showing up in search.

      Ver 01.07      Item : Minor release - Malfuction when moving up and 
                            down the directory tree when the directory and
                            subdirectory are a subset of one another (ie 
                            directory xyzlist, subdirecotry xyz).  Result 
                            was always going back to the root directory.  

      Ver 02.00      Windows 95 32 bit conversion with enhancements.  Versions 1.07 
                     will remain for Windows 3.1 users but I do not intend to enhance
                     it.  
                     Item : support long filenames
                     Item : file location tracking via background process thread
                     Item : Appearance (toolbar, tooltips, size and placement recall).
                     Item : Options to Display graphics files via file suffix association.
                     Item : Forward and backward scrolling of database.
                     Item : Icons in database listbox indicate absence, presence on hard 
                            disk or presence on removable media.
