New additions and improvements in version 2.5:

The addition of a windows print dialog box when choosing the print option.

The units for the height input for calculating body mass index has been changed from meters to centimeters in order to provide continuity between all the different measurements.  The units for BMI have not changed, though.

The ability to save information as a text file has been added.  If a file is saved using the same name as a previously saved file, BodyComp 96 adds the new data to the end of the file and does not overwrite the previous data.  This allows users to easily track subject's data.

An online help file has been added.  The references for all the available equations has been moved from its own form into the help file.  This allows for copying and pasting the information into other applications.
