- ability to mark specific cards and then print or save marked cards
- only.
-
- v3.18: Fixed a bug with cards more than 1024 bytes long, added logic
- logic to "last name" sort routine to handle names like
- "Mr. O'Sullivan", "Joe Blow, Jr." or "Napoleon III".

-
- v3.11: Some internal improvements; fixed a bug when entering a character
- on empty page; fixed a bug when card was printed in one long line.
-
-
-
- v3.10: NEW PUBLIC RELEASE TOGETHER WITH BUSINESSDIALER V1.1 - new setup
- program, updated help and text files.
-
-
- v3.09: Added drag and drop support for non-english versions of Windows;
- fixed a small bug in 'About' dialog.
-
-
- v3.08: Completely rewritten 'Goto' command. Now it's one of the most
- useful functions along with the 'Search' command. Just enter a
- string you want to find and 'Goto' finds it instantly.
-
-
- v3.07: Added 'Always on top' option in in Options/Preferences/Display
- and system menu (for iconized window)
-
-
- v3.06: NEW COOL FEATURE! Now you can drag and drop cards to your
- favourite word processor (sorry, english version only so far).
- Just click right mouse button (either in a card or in contents
- view), drag and drop it!
-
-
- v3.05: fixed rare bug, when the program doesn't save its setting in
- BCARDS.INI. Increased number of toolbar buttons when main window
- is larger, than usual (see below). Improved phone number parsing.
-
-
- v3.04: added new '+' command line parameter, which allows to increase
- main window size. Usage: BCARDS +NN, where 'NN' is any number
- from 0 to 50 and designates percentage of increase. For example:
-
- BCARDS +20
-
- creates main program window, which is 20% larger, that the
- default. The '+' parameter may be combined with '-' for read only
- file access. For example, command line:
-
- BCARDS +15 -SAMPLE.BCR
-
- loads SAMPLE.BCR file as "read only" and makes window size 15%
- larger, than the default. Useful for displays with large screen
- resolutions.
-
-
- v3.03: fixed problem with CTRL+TAB key combination: now it allows to
- insert TAB character (if file is not "read only") and doesn't
- jump to next card.
-
-
- v3.02: added "read only" flag in command line. When file is preceded by
- minus sign, it's opened as "read only". For example:
-
- BCARDS -SAMPLE.BCR
-
- loads the file and prevents any modifications. May be useful for
- some specific network applications.
-
-
- v3.01: Changed default toolbar configuration to include 'Dial' button;
- added missing 'Merge', 'PrtSetup' and 'Dial' in Options/Toolbar;
- allow spaces and slash characters when parsing phone numbers
- (European "notation" such as 123/456-7690 or +44 123 456 7890)
-
