          DAYS OFF CALCULATOR : DAYS OFF REPORTER
       Version 3.0 for DOS : Version 2.0 for Windows
------------------------------------------------------------
                         WHAT'S NEW
------------------------------------------------------------

The new versions contain a wide variety of changes.  Here's
the most important one:

************************************************************
*      Most reporting functions have been removed from     *
*      the calculator and placed in its new companion      *
*      program, the Days Off Reporter.                     *
************************************************************

The calculator now includes a command to save its results to
a solution file - a new type of report.  To generate other
types of reports:

>   Use the calculator to generate a solution file.

>   Start the reporter and open the solution file into the
    reporter.

Solution files are plain text files that can be viewed and
edited by any text editor (such as Windows Notepad or the
DOS Editor) or word processor.  Because of this:

************************************************************
*      You are no longer limited to generating reports     *
*      based on the calculator's results.  Now, your       *
*      reports can reflect your own preferences.           *
************************************************************

Because solution files are in a standardized format, you can
also write spreadsheet macros that use them to generate
custom reports.

Here are some more improvements in the new versions:

>   Most reports can be saved in HTML format, suitable for
    posting on the World Wide Web.

>   The calculator now supports any workweek length -
    0 to 7 days.

>   You can now save your report formatting choices to a
    report format file, then restore the file whenever you
    wish to do another report with the same choices.

>   CSV reports can now include name list entries of any
    length.  Signup reports can now include name list
    entries of up to 64 characters.

>   There is now one .INI file with initialization settings
    for all programs - so if, for example, you wish to
    customize both the DOS and Windows programs, or both the
    calculator and the reporter, you need change settings
    only once.

>   The source code for the Days Off Reporter is freely
    available for download from our Web site -
    http://www.schedule-me.com.  (The source code for the
    Days Off Calculator is not available.)

>   Industry-specific jargon has been eliminated.
