Version 1.00
+ Original version released November 1994
Version 1.10
+ Increased the number of lines per .TXT file that the READ.EXE
would support from 999 to 5000.
+ Fixed bug with menu bar related to END and PAGE DOWN keys.
+ Added "Please wait..." prompt while loading a file from the
READer with an expanding "." to ".." to "..." to show the
user that the READer is currently working.
Version 1.20
+ Added support for .TXT files wider than 80 columns. The
left and right arrow and TAB and SHIFT+TAB keys will scroll
the text display left and right.
+ Fixed a bug that ignored the Main Menu background color
as specified by the compiler.
+ Fixed an oversight which failed to load .BIN wallpaper for
individual .TXT files.
+ If the author (you) does not use background wallpaper for
the Main Menu, then a prompt on the last line of the screen
will appear for your reader at the Main Menu reminding them
how to use the cursor keys (we should not assume that your
audience knows how to use a computer).
+ Fixed a bug related to text compression and tab characters
(ASCII 9).
Version 2.00
+ All new algorithm for compression/decompression of READ.DAT
file, increases speed 4-5 times over version 1.x, and results
in much smaller READ.DAT files.
+ .TXT files now must not be larger than 32,000 bytes. Due to
the new compression algorithm, this restriction had to be
implemented. The compiler will process .TXT files larger
than 32k, however they will be truncated. If a .TXT file
is larger than 32,000 bytes, it ought to be broken down into
smaller, easier to read chapters.
+ Main menu layout configuration is saved and can be retrieved
eliminating the need to step through all the questions/prompts
when compiling your document. If a COMPILE.CFG is found from
the last compilation, the compiler will prompt you if you
wish to use the same configuration.
Version 2.01
+ Fixed a misspelling that appeared on the bottom of the screen
from the Main Menu in the reader (READ.EXE). This appeared
only IF no background wallpaper was used.
+ Fixed a bug that would cause the binary wallpaper file pick
list to abort the compilation process.
