Version 1.07 I made some minor changes to the program and these
were mostly to the opening and closing screens. I did change
back to QuickBASIC 3.0 which is faster in execution than versions
starting with 4.0.
Version 2.00 This is a whole new version. It is only about 5,000
bytes larger than 1.07 and is stand alone, meaning that it no longer
requires the BRUN30.EXE runtime library. It is written and compiled
in Turbo Pascal 5.5.
Please let me know what you think of this version. I am in the
process of converting all my earlier programs over to Turbo
Pascal. Most programs are smaller, all of them are faster.
Version 2.01. Corrected a problem on new games with same user. The
program did not reset the counter. Was okay for new user, but did
not roll over if user did consecutive games. Also adjusted some
of the diplays, no major changes.
Version 3.00. This version runs in Color or Mono. Uses symbols in
place of colors. Corrected some display problems. No user reported
bugs, just things I caught. Please report any problems to me.
Version 3.01. Fixed a display problem where the program cleared
part of the screen when the user did not type in a name.
Version 3.10. Compiled the program with Turbo Pascal 7.0 and added
the typing sound I developed for my Typing program for children when
I recompiled it with BP 7.0. I thought children might enjoy it more
if it did the same typing sound here. Any other changes were only
minor in nature.
Version 3.11. Found that I forgot to display the Title on some of
the screens like to and from the Help/Information screens. That
and updated the Information screen.
Version 3.12. Caught an error background color. It was being set
if mono or color. In mono it should not have been changed. I test
in mono but my testing is not always the best. Evidently the program
continued to read my system as color. I went in as mono and had a
gray background (actually blue) and took me a while to figure out
that I was checking the video setting before I checked the screen
type. In other words it was backwards. As soon as I do the correct
procedure in the correct sequence the error went away. This error
may have been there in all the Turbo Pascal versions. No one reported
the probelm so it could have been code that was copied incorrectly.
No matter, it should run correctly in mono and color.
