usage and component data in one integrated form.
03. The word usage reports can now be used to include words which are also
filenames.

14. Reinstated the generation of cross references for whole numbers.
October 1991 1.3 Release - Includes the following changes:
01. Now supporting embedded SQL in C, COBOL, PL/I, FORTRAN, and Pascal
