- This program accesses the eBay search engine.
-
- To search for a specific item:

-
- To perform a standard search:

- text only results, to search descriptions as well

-
- New to v1.2
-
- 1.Combined dialog w/button and options dialog,
- (I found that having them separate was irritating.)
-
- 2.Added a "GO" buuton to each dialog. This button is
- blank in the small dialog and is located in the
- upper right hand corner of both dialogs. Pressing
- this button is the equivalant of pressing the "enter"
- key on the keyboard or selecting "Search" from the
- menu.
-
- 3.Added the "Search descriptions" checkbox to the
- small dialog. It is the small white square in the
- bottom right corder under the blank "GO" button.
-
- New to 1.3
-
- 1. Replaced Delete function with Edit List function,
- see above for details.
-
- 2. Fixed a defect that caused an error when the ini
- file does not exist or does not have all entries made.
-
- 3. Fixed a defect that caused a white box error on
- slower systems.
-
- New to 1.3a
-
- 1. Added vode so that numeric searches would be saved
- in drop down list.
-
- New to 1.3b
-
- 1. Changed the program to donationware.
-
