;
; Version 1.0 - 28th May 1994
; Initial prototype. Badly coded and eventually discarded
;
; Version 1.1 - 10th June 1994
; Redesigned project.
; Split main window into seperate windows
;
; Version 1.11- 27th June 1994
; - The year number gadget in "Add New Note" always returned 0, see new.c
; - Added the Amend function.
; - Added comfirm quit from Double run of Commodity
;
; Version 1.2 - 5th July 1994
; - Prenotes can now be added to all types of notes.
; - Amend function was re-written making it now code efficient and
; also can be activated by double clicking on a note
; - Prenotes are now "attached" to the parent note, so when the parent
; note is amended/deleted so are the prenotes.
; - New note type "Relative" added. (See documents)
; - Some memory was not being returned to the system for some "Previous"
; notes. Now fixed.
; - A previous note is now not created when a prenote expires.
; - A space was added in the prenote between the date and the note text!
; - A lot of code was re-written to be more efficient and cleaner! If you
; could see the source code it is now much clearer, (less headaches for
; me)
; - Changing the period for the Within list made all deleted messages
; reappear. Now fixed.
; - The Freeze window until ready part never worked. Strange, it used to.
; - Any of the prefs options could be set to a negative number. This used
; to cause a lot of problems. Now fixed.
; - If the prefs filename was set to blank then the prefs would be loaded
; incorrectly the next time, and the data file would go walk about.
;
; Version 1.3 - 15th July 1994
; - Added font adaptability.
; - Included a size gadget. (Not as simple as it seems!)
; - The window size is now saved with a preference save.
; - Added a time feature. Each message can now be time stamped.
; - Messages for today can be displayed individually on startup.
;
; Version 1.31 - 20th July 1994
; - Changing the type of the note in Create/Amend used to erase Prenote
; value currently stored. Now it doesn't.
; - The Create/Amend window has been rearranged.
; - Added the execute command option for a message.
;
; Version 1.32 - 26th July 1994
; - Using NTSC Hi-res laced screens with certain system fonts gave
; some trouble and Remind couldn't create the gadgets in the window.
; This has now been fixed.
; - In some resolutions the Create note screen had some gadgets touching.
; These have been slightly moved.
; - The time format can be selected as 24hour or am/pm
; - The messages are now ordered in time of day as well as date.
; - Linked with utility.library for slightly smaller and faster code
; - External commands now executed with dos.library/Execute() for better
; compatability.
;
;
; Version 1.4 - 15th August 1994
; - The minimum size of the window has been reduced. So now the
; main window can become smaller.
; - Yet more problems with Resize and Fonts solved.
; - Midnight was being shown as 12:00PM!
; - Todays date and time have been added to the main window.
; - Added date and time to todays messages.
; - Added option to ignore all messages for today on startup.
; - Midnight support has now been added. If Remind is running and
; midnight occurrs the display is changed and the current database
; is saved indicating use of Remind for the next day. The
; implementation is a bit rough and improvement suggestions would
; be appriciated.
; - The timer routines have been rewritten, the old versions have caused
; crashing on my system.
; - The slider values for the day/month sliders in Add/Amend note now
; have the slider values displayed for easy reference.
; - Persistant notes can now be "Finished" by shift+double click on the
;
