modify the palette without affecting flag and map display.

available data stay at the end of the list.

suitable for high resolution screens. It includes Slavonic, Romanian
and Turkish chars: For translations and for improved display of cities
of these countries.

mother country's window does work again.
Version 5.12 - 10-apr-1996
o A bug of versions 5.1 / 5.11 has been fixed that occasionally caused a
guru when selecting ... the Quit-function!
(To be honest: At first it seemed a good idea to have such a
bug: People simply would never quit this beautiful program :)
o Improved look for Workbench 3.x.
Version 5.13 - 28-apr-1996 - intern
o The search function has improved again: Now it knows about accents and
umlauts. Example: "Ae", "æ" and "Ä" are treated just the same, "aa" is
accepted instead of "å", "e" instead of "Ë" or "è", and so on.
Version 5.14 - 29-apr-1996
o Keymap support for the country list has improved: Cursor+Alt-Key moves
the list one line up or down, Cursor+Shift-Key browses through the list.
Version 5.15 - 13-aug-1996
o Many of the country descriptions and some organization descriptions have
been updated.
Version 5.16 - 15-dec-1996
o Contains completely updated country data.
o The descriptions about organizations have been updated, some organizations
have been newly included (English and German only, at the moment).
o Looks better again and is now ready to be translated into any language
with an alphabet written from left to right side. How come?
100% font-sensitivity.
Known bugs
----------
o Map display causes problems with some graphic enhancers. If this bug
occurs on your Amiga, or -- even better -- if you have an idea why
graphic.library's "Flood" function does not work with all graphic
cards, then please contact me.
Plans for the future
--------------------
o Improved map display with maps that flexibly adjust to any screen mode
and provide more information than just borders.
o Information on major cities
o Improved flag display on high resolution screens.
BUT ONLY IF THERE ARE SOME REGISTRATIONS AGAIN!
