Changes in version 4.9: (Mar 24, 1995)
Version 4.9 is a complete rewrite of "NewDay/PC" from the ground up,
and it's the first new version released since Hurricane Hugo destroyed
the source-code and both my homes September 21st, 1989. It basically
should work exactly like 4.5, but the "A.S.P." author logos have been
removed and method of payment can no longer be 'plastic' - I have not
been able to justify keeping the "Merchant Account" open. Please send
a personal check or a bank-check (or money order) written in US$ payable
on a bank in the US, or a postal money order. A small temporary fix in
the form of "EAT-WHYS.EXE" is included to strip any "Y" type database
entries from Bruce Goldman's latest (by my records "DAY908-x.ZIP" where
'x' is '1' thru '6') version which are not properly supported by this
version, although version 5.0 will correct this problem. Run "EAT-WHYS"
once - it will 'clean' your TODAY.xxx databases until I get a chance to
implement the changes necessary to support this new functionality. (I
expect version 5.0 will be out mid-year, time allowing) Note that since
NewDay/PC was originally written for usage by bulletin boards, currently
it requires an ANSI.SYS (or replacement) driver to be loaded in your
CONFIG.SYS file. You may eliminate this necessity (although you will
also eliminate color output) by putting "NOCOLOR" on the command-line.
If you're not a documentation reader and anxious to just use the program
type "NEWDAYPC /?" for command-line options and you're off! Remember -
if you get updated databases, and version 5 still isn't available, you
will need to run "EAT-WHYS.EXE" again (once). It doesn't actually take
any entries out - just makes NewDay/PC ignore those it doesn't handle
properly... (and is reversible when 5.0 comes out!)
