Notice to Users of bBaseII - Version 5.3
========================================
There is an unfortunate bug in bBaseII Version 5.3, which was released
on Fred Fish Disk 609. This bug may cause the program to terminate
when a new database is being created, AND the default value of 9 fields
is accepted. This is entirely due to an oversight on my part.
If this problem is encountered, there are 2 possible solutions:
1. Delete the "9" value with the backspace key, and re-enter the
desired number of fields. A "9" may be re-entered, if desired.
2. Use Version 5.31 or subsequent, which has the bug corrected.
Also, I have noticed that attempting to utilize the "-f" switch when
starting bBase will quite often generate an "Illegal Function Call" error.
This problem was also solved in V5.31, but at a price. It is now necessary
to append an "!" to the end of the filename, ie.
Run bBaseII -fDF0:Files/Recipes!
I recognize that this is rather chintzy, but I personally like this feature,
and it was the only way I could find to make it work reliably.
My apologies if this has created any problems for anyone.
