- HOW DO I UPGRADE?
- -----------------
-

-
- WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION? or SHOULD I BOTHER TO UPGRADE?
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Since version 2.0...
-
- * The "Welcome to StartupSwapper Deluxe" introduction screen, intended
- to be seen only when the program is used for the first time, was seen
- continuously on a few systems. This odd bug has been squashed.
-
- * The Randomizer Module would sometimes display the same RLE twice in a
- row on a few systems. This bug has been fixed.
-
- * Some RLE files could not be viewed on a few systems. On others,
- viewing a corrupted RLE file would cause the program to crash. The RLE
- viewer has been modified to eliminate these bugs.
-
-
