SHAREWARE RELEASE NOTES V1.00.21b (October 31, 1994)
__________________________________________________________________
*** VBRUN300.DLL required ***
This program requires VBRUN300.DLL (Visual Basic Runtime.)
VBRUN200.DLL and VBRUN100.DLL will not work. The VBRUN300.DLL
file should be placed in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
VBRUN300.DLL is NOT included in FLASH.EXE, the self-extracting
executable containing StudyMaster Flash Cards, because including
it would greatly increase the size of the file, and many users
already have VBRUN300.DLL anyways. If you don't have it (which
will be obvious because the program won't load!) many BBS's
have it, or it is available from CompuServe, GEnie, AOL, etc.
If you *really* can't find it, send $2 to cover S&H and the cost
of the disk to the registration address given later in this
file, and I will send you a copy. Or, send $12 to get a registered
copy of the latest shareware version. Be sure to note that you
need a copy of VBRUN300.DLL, as it is not normally included on the
shareware disks.
__________________________________________________________________
*** How to install Shareware Version ***
Simple... just copy the file FLASH.EXE into its own directory and
run it. All the files will extract. Then, install an icon into
Program Manager for the file FLASHCRD.EXE and run the program!
Remember, you MUST have VBRUN300.DLL (Visual Basic Runtime) to
use this software.
__________________________________________________________________
*** Changes to this version from the September 3, 1994 version
(1.00.20a) are as follows:
* New registration system accepts your registration number
and eliminates the display of the "nag dialog boxes."
* New registration address.
* The Edit Window is now resizable, highly useful on Super-
VGA monitors.
* You can now change the font in the Edit Window as well as
the Card Window. This makes it possible to edit using fonts
containing special characters, math symbols, etc.
* The new "QuickButton" in the card window parallels the
operation of the Pop-up Menu autopositioning feature and
allows a quick scan of the deck without having to use the
right mouse button.
---------------------------------------------
*** .VBX Files ***
This program requires four .VBX files, which are included.
They can stay in the directory into which you install StudyMaster
Flash Cards. If you already have these .VBX files, you can
delete the copies in your Flash Cards directory, but before
doing so, be sure that your other copies of the .VBX files are
compatible. They should be, but you never know what versions are
out there.
__________________________________________________________________
*** Address Change! ***
The address to register this program has changed from previous
shareware versions. If you have an older version, be sure to
delete it and replace it with the current version.
__________________________________________________________________
*** Thank you for trying this program! **
We hope you find it useful. If you do, please be sure and register
your copy. Paying the shareware fee of $10 (which we think is pretty
reasonable) helps to insure that future products, as well as support
for this one, will continue to be available.
To register, send a check for $10, (or $12 if you wish to receive a
3.5" disk by return mail containing the latest shareware version)
made out to "Michael P. Cohan" to:
StudyMaster Flash Cards c/o Michael P. Cohan Attn: Registration
245 Union Blvd. Apt. 606
St. Louis, MO 63108
You can contact the author directly on America Online, "MikeC65".

*** Help Data File ***
Note that the help data for the shareware file is the unmodified
help file from the commercial version. The limitations of the
shareware version are explained in the dialog box which displays
when you run the program.
The WFCHELP.FCH file must be in the same directory as the
FLASHCRD.EXE file in order for on-line help to be accessible.
__________________________________________________________________
*** Commercial Version of StudyMaster Flash Cards ***
If you like this program, please consider ordering the full
commercial version. The commercial version is much more useful
than the shareware version. You can have much larger decks with
up to 99 categories and thousands of cards (as against 10 categories
and 300 cards maximum for the shareware version), and you get
full use of the printing functions.
The full version is highly useful. The author of this program can
attest to that, as he originally wrote StudyMaster Flash Cards for his
own use as a law school study aid, and has used it for many classes,
as well as studying for the bar exam, with excellent results.
For pricing on the commercial version, see How to Register and Upgrade
on the help menu of StudyMaster Flashcards.
RELEASE NOTES version 1.00.15d, August 22, 1994.
_____________________________________________
New changes from prior (May 26th) version:
* Up to 99 categories per deck. (shareware version allows 10 max.)
* Up to 40 cards per category (shareware version allows only up to
30; see notes on shareware versions later in this file.)
* Next Card command now takes you into the next category if you
are at the end of the current category. Previous Card command
now takes you into the previous category if you are at the start
of the current category. This greatly increases the usability
of the View Menu commands, and also makes it much more conven-
ient to read through the deck.
* Go to Random Card command now can select random cards from
anywhere in the deck. A new option in the Set Up Options dialog
box (this dialog box was formerly labeled Set Up Card Window)
lets you choose between selecting random cards from the entire
deck (the default) or only from within the current category.
* New command in the Edit dialog box: Select and Delete Cards
on the Card menu lets you delete multiple cards at once.
* New Drag and Drop functions in the Edit dialog box allow you
to execute some common commands using a visual metaphor.
* Select and Print Cards command now allows you to include your
test answers and comments in your printout, if there are any.
(this command is disabled in the Shareware version.)
* Statusbar now displays total number of cards in the deck and
your current position in it, in addition to your location
within the current category.
* Some dialog boxes have been redesigned for improved usability.
* The Card Window now contains a button to allow you to mark the
card, and the main window's toolbar buttons have been rearranged
and some new commands have been added to the toolbar.
* The Deck Menu command called "Set Up Card Window..." in the
prior version of the program is now called "Set Up Options...".
