Ex: what's new in Version 1.23
================================
Again, this is a maintenance update, with some cosmetic changes.
Modifications
=============
* Some extra precision has been squeezed out of the logarithmic
and exponential functions.
Bug fixes
=========
* A minor irregularity in the rounded-off display of numbers like
0.9999999... has been taken care of.
Ex: what's new in Version 1.22
================================
Two minor changes, not really worth updating from V. 1.20:
Modifications
=============
* The keyword in on-line help can now be entered in any case (pre-
viously only in lower)
Bug Fixes
=========
* An attempt to paste a line by pressing Esc when no expression is
being displayed and when the paste buffer is empty (nothing has
been cut before) used to show garbage - harmless but annoying.
Not any longer.
Ex: what's new in Version 1.21
================================
Just a few minor changes from Version 1.20 (if you have that one,
the update may not be worth your time).
New Features
============
* A fast way to exit the program (without saving the status) by
pressing Shift+F10 has been added.
Modifications
=============
* [Exit] will save the status file even if you answer N to the
exit confirmation prompt.
* Registered version no longer shows the opening title screen;
version and serial number are shown at the exit prompt.
Bug Fixes
=========
* The fsne function in older versions (PC only) would sometimes
refuse to work, signalling an error. This has been fixed.
* Some minor typos have been corrected in the help file.
Ex: what's new in Version 1.2
===============================
This is a major upgrade to Ex. Starting from this version, a
separate PC-DOS mutation of the program is available. The EX.DOC
file has been updated to reflect the changes since Version 1.1,
but here is a quick list, with the appropriate manual section
numbers in parentheses.
New Features
============
* New functions: ft, lb (5.9), rou (5.4)
* Conversions to feet and inches or pounds and ounces (10.4)
* Conversions to fractions, e.g. 12 3/5 (10.3)
* Result rounding to a nearest fraction (10.5)
* Undelete, cut and paste operations (2.1.3)
* Quick change to upper or lower case (2.1.1)
Modifications
=============
* Unit conversion starts from the last result, not from the
Expression Line (10.1)
* The lower case "e" in constants is recognized more smartly (4.1)
* [Dms] and [Uni] have been moved to the new Conversion Menu (10)
* Display precision is now limited to maximum 16 significant
digits (11.2)
* Number of Expression lines has been raised to 12 or (in the
registered version) to 24 (2.1.2)
* Expressions up to 75 characters are allowed (registered version
only) (2.1.1)
A number of other changes, not affecting the program use, has also
been introduced.
Bug Fixes
=========
A wrong coefficient value for millimeters in the EX.UNI data file
has been corrected.
Next Updates
============
Version 1.2 arrived sooner than expected. No new releases are
planned until 1994, except for possible maintenance updates.
