MING SHU: PROGRAM HISTORY
******************************************************************************
1.x Sinclair ZX Spectrum - c.1990
The original version, written in ZX BASIC (R.I.P.).
******************************************************************************
2.0 Sinclair ZX Spectrum with Microdrive - c.1991
An extension of version 1.x (also in ZX BASIC) which included more
detailed character assessments and calculated the "Life Cycle Chart".
The program was separated into two independent halves because of the
memory limitations (only 48k!).
******************************************************************************
3.0 12th May 1993 - Commodore Amiga
A major rewrite of version 1.x converting the listing into AMOS BASIC.
Included some of the extended character assessments á la version 2.0.
******************************************************************************
3.1 13th May 1993
Version 3.0 worked fine - until I compiled it! My first update was to
remove the weird bugs. I still don't know what was wrong, so I just had
to re-write the routines from a different angle. At least it wasn't [mmy
fault!!
******************************************************************************
3.2 29th May 1993
Added the "Life Cycle Chart" options. [F3 & F4]
Also included a Help Screen which isn't really needed at the moment but
should be useful if I keep expanding the options.
Fixed a minor bug (my fault this time) which only affected birthdates
in February [mbefore the New Year.
*****************************************************************************
3.21 29th May 1993 - Released Version
My fault again! When the program was compiled it ran too quickly for
some of the graphics routines. It seems I "forgot" to pause for the
next Vertical Blank Line. (Yeah, sure). Only needed to add a couple of
Wait VBL statements.
