     A quick note about this version of the address book (5.00). It seems 
that every time I upload a new version, the download count far exceeds the 
shareware contributions I receive so I'm forced to resort to the nasty 
'annoy' box. This version is FULLY functional, you just see a dialog box 
reminding you to contribute when entering and exiting the program.

     The notes about what's new in version 5.00 follow:

Version 5.00, 31 Mar 94

  Many of the registered users have made suggestions - good suggestions, so 
here they are.  The one thing I added that wasn't suggested is the 'annoy' 
alert box.  This is ONLY in the 'Unregistered Version' and is simply a 
reminder for those using the program that they should register.  This box 
does NOT appear in the registered version.

-  The century in the date section is now selectable - you're no longer 
limited to 19xx.  Click on either 19 or 20 to set the century.  This ensures 
the usefulness of this program into the next century (in case I'm not 
around to continue updating it 8-)

-  When adding or modifying address records, the 'F10' key will duplicate 
the field from the record that was previously displayed on screen.  This 
speeds data entry when adding names and addresses from the same city, state, 
zip code, etc.  Display the address with the data you want to duplicate and 
then select 'Add', press the F10 key and the field is entered for you.

-  A new button has been added to the print screen between 'Print All' and 
'Print One', 'Print Some'.  This button takes you to another dialog where 
you can specify a range to print.  Handy if you sort by zip code and only 
want to print that zip code.  It's smart enough to make sure the numbers you 
choose are inside the ranges of available numbers.

-  A new button was added to the Date Minder section, 'View All'.  It allows 
you to view all months at once in a view window, similar to View in the main 
dialog.  It will display first name, last name or last name, first name 
depending on which way you selected in your configuration.  Clicking on a 
name will return you to the appropriate month in the date minder section.

-  A new option in the configuration screen was added, 'Auto Save'.  
Selecting this brings up a dialog asking you for the auto-save filename and 
number of changes/additions to do the auto-save.  The default setting for 
the filename is 'TLC_BACK.DAT' and the default number of strokes to count is 
20.  Change these to your preferences and save your configuration, it will 
save these settings also.  When the auto save takes place (only from the 
main dialog), you'll hear 3 quick bells, the Save button will toggle on, the 
program checks the file size and available disk space, displays a busy box 
showing what it's doing and writes the file to disk.  It uses either your 
default path or the last path you loaded or saved a file from.  It does not 
offer renaming the previous backup file, it does it's job and exits.  You 
keystrokes are buffered so you may continue working.  This should help 
prevent lost data from power outages, forgetting to save, system shutdowns, 
etc.

     As always, registered users may upgrade for $1 either by sending me 
their original TLC disk or for a $1 Gift-of-Time on GEnie, I'll update and 
EMail your new version to you. Send $2 if you don't want to return your 
original disk. These fees cover the costs of material, postage, or online 
fees only.

     Thanks for your continued support!
