                 CompuSlave For Windows Revision History


08-03-96 ■ Version 3.00

         . Build 91 - Changed CompuSlave's behavior when attempting to rebuild
           or reorganize a database.  If the process is not completed
           successfully, either because the user cancelled it, or an error
           occurred, the index file is automatically deleted.  (In this
           instance, it is corrupt anyway, and should not be used.  Leaving
           it behind could cause problems when accessing the database.)

         . Build 90 - Changed the database opening routine to check for valid
           index data in all eight index fields before allowing a database to
           be successfully opened.

         . Build 89 - Fixed a problem when attempting to open a database if
           the index file did not exist.  If the user cancelled the rebuilding
           process before the index had been completely rebuilt, CompuSlave
           would attempt to close the database a second time, even though it
           was already closed.  This caused an error message "Invalid
           Fileblock" to occur.

         . Build 88 - Fixed a background color problem on the pictures used on
           the Ok, Cancel, Help, and Close buttons when high-color mode was
           being used.

         . Build 87 - Updated documentation and help files with new help
           topics.  Linked new topics into CompuSlave.

         . Build 86 - Changed the behavior of the Search One Field and Search
           Range dialog boxes for the section field.  Users must now enter
           the section number for the search string(s), instead of the complete
           section strings.  (This had to be changed as a result of the
           version 3.0 database reorganization.)

         . Build 85 - Changed the behavior of the GoTo dialog box for the
           section field.  Users must now enter the section number to go to,
           instead of the complete section string.  (This had to be changed
           as a result of the version 3.0 database reorganization.)

         . Build 84 - Removed the specific dialog boxes for TapCIS, OzCIS,
           WinCIM/CSNav, and CIS ASCII Capture Files, and created one dialog
           box to combine all of the options related to these specific file
           formats.

         . Build 83 - Made the WinCIM/CSNav file imports more tick-friendly
           to other Windows applications.

         . Build 82 - Fixed a tab order problem on the Current Database Options
           screen.

         . Build 81 - Added a Windows message processing loop to the file
           filtering process that occurs when importing a TapCIS, OzCIS, or
           CIS capture file.  This allow other events (mouse clicks, etc) to
           be processed while the file filtering takes place.

         . Build 80 - Hid the Cancel button on the status screen that appears
           when the database INI files are being read for the Batch Import
           process, and also for the Database Status screen.

         . Build 79 - Fixed a problem where an error message "This program has
           caused an illegal operation..." could occur after terminating
           CompuSlave.  (This behavior was noted on a Windows 95 system after
           executing any one of several WinSock applications.)  This odd
           behavior was introduced after implementing a status screen in the
           file filtering process prior to importing a TapCIS, OzCIS, or CIS
           capture file.  The behavior was only present when using the Batch
           Import feature.  It appears that this behavior is related to a
           compiler problem when displaying a stay-on-top non-modal window on
           top of a modal dialog box.  Worked-around this issue by disabling
           the stay-on-top modal window in batch mode.  Instead, when file
           filtering is performed, the status bar on the bottom of the Batch
           Import screen is updated with the status text.

         . Build 78 - Added a "Save All" button to the Convert Message screen
           that appears during the reorganization process when a user
           selects the Examine All or Examine Range options.  This will allow
           the user to save all records, thus cancelling the examination
           process without cancelling the reorganization.

         . Build 77 - Added an "Abort" button to the Convert Message screen
           that appears during the reorganization process when a user
           selects the Examine All or Examine Range options.  This will allow
           the user to cancel the reorganization process more easily.

         . Build 76 - Fixed a problem where the reorganization process was
           not being terminated immediately if the decompression of a
           compressed database failed.

         . Build 75 - Added a fail-safe check to make sure that the Full
           Browser cannot be wider or taller than the coordinates of the
           screen.  If CompuSlave detects this condition when displaying the
           Full Browser, the coordinates are reset to the default.

         . Build 74 - Changed the default size of the Full Browser.  The
           initial size will be determined based on the screen resolution of
           the monitor.  Each of the outer limits will be offset 50 pixels
           from the edge of the screen.

         . Build 73 - Added the ability for CompuSlave to remember the Full
           Browser's size and position on the screen.  This is a global
           setting.

         . Build 72 - Added the ability for CompuSlave to remember the
           Full Browser window state (normal, minimized, or maximized).  This
           is a global setting.

         . Build 71 - Added a command to erase the backup copy of the database
           INI file that is created during a reorganization process.

         . Build 70 - Merged the reorganization and version 2.x database
           upgrading options to allow users to reorganize a version 2.x
           database.  This automatically converts the structure to the
           version 3.x format.  (In earlier builds, the database could only
           be converted to the new format when it was opened using the File
           Open command.)

         . Build 69 - Added support for CompuSlave to remember the last view
           state (normal, mini-browser, or message-only) for the current
           database.  This value is saved to the Database INI file and restored
           the next time the database is opened.

         . Build 68 - Added a check to make sure a database file (or zip file)
           exists before putting it on the initial history list when CompuSlave
           is executed.

         . Build 67 - Added support to automatically update the title on the
           currently open database after the user selects Ok from the
           Current Database dialog box.  (This needs to be updated in case
           the user changed the Database Description while editing the
           Current Database options.)

         . Build 66 - Fixed a potential problem where the database INI file was
           being re-read when the "Current Database" option was selected from
           the Settings menu.  Because of this, any unsaved database INI
           settings would have been lost.  Now, the database INI file is not
           re-read upon selecting this option.  It is, however, still written
           when Ok is selected from this dialog box.

         . Build 65 - Added a Database Description field to the New Database
           dialog box to allow users to specify the database description when
           the database is initially created.

         . Build 64 - Added a Database Description field for each individual
           database to allow users to describe the name/contents of the
           current database.  This setting can be changed on the Settings,
           Current Database screen.

         . Build 63 - Added "*.plx" to the WinCIM/CSNav import file filter.
           Since this is an INI file setting, existing users will want to
           change this manually on the Import Options screen.

         . Build 62 - Made the default message number for WinCim/CSNav's *.plx
           messages to be message number 1.  Modified the database record
           adding routine to not issue duplicate message number warnings for
           these types of messages.

         . Build 61 - Added a message tagging limit check on the Tag Range
           dialog box to make sure a user cannot tag more than 16,368 messages.
           If this limit is reached, the tagging is automatically stopped.

         . Build 60 - Changed the text on some of the tips on the CompuSlave
           Tips dialog box.

         . Build 59 - Fixed a problem where CompuSlave could not tag more than
           16,368 messages.  Previously, message boxes indicated that the
           limit was 16,384, but this value was incorrect.  Changed the
           Tag All routine to check this limit and stop tagging before
           attempting to tag more than 16,368 messages.  (Previously, a
           "List Index Out Of Bounds" error message would be issued.)

         . Build 58 - Added a new option to the Defaults dialog box on the
           Data Validation page.  The new option allows users to specify
           whether or not a message number 0 causes a data validation
           error.

         . Build 57 - Modified the RegCheck.Exe program for new version
           / registration control.

         . Build 56 - Changed the registration code processing routine in
           CompuSlave to require new version 3 registration codes.  (Version
           2.x users will need to upgrade to version 3 for a registration
           fee of $30.00.)

         . Build 55 - Fixed a problem on the data validation screen to put
           the text "NONE" into the "Response" field.  (A -1 is used to
           denote no response within the database.  After the version 3.0
           conversion, this field was containing a -1, instead of "NONE".)

         . Build 54 - Added a TapCIS Format option to the import file dialog
           box.

         . Build 53 - Fixed the printing format routines to include the
           section name in addition to the section number on the printouts.
           (This was not working as a result of the version 3.0 database
           reorganization.)

         . Build 52 - Limited the Subject, From, and To starting and ending
           range fields to 30 characters on the Tag Range dialog box.

         . Build 51 - Added a "Fuzzy Match" check box to the Subject, From,
           and To tagging categories on the Tag Range screen.  This allows
           CompuSlave to find all messages with extra characters on the
           "Ending Range" value.  (The ending range value is thus padded with
           character #255.)

         . Build 50 - Fixed a problem where the 500-message limit nag screen
           would be displayed multiple times when importing messages from
           WinCIM/CSNav *.msg, *.thd, and *.plx message files.  This routine
           now checks to see if the message limit has been exceeded, and if
           so, immediately exits out.

         . Build 49 - Added a status screen to the import file filtering
           process to indicate the completion percentage of the filtering.

         . Build 48 - Made sure that when a database is created using the
           Extract Tagged Messages process, the status screen displays the
           correct database name (using a ".dat" extension).

         . Build 47 - Changed the Tag Range routine for the subject, from and
           to fields.  Previously, the ending range field was padded with
           character 255, to ensure that all names within the range were
           included.  After further consideration, this behavior may not be
           desirable.  Users must specify the complete ending string that
           should be included in the tag range.

         . Build 46 - Fixed a problem where CompuSlave was not saving new
           section names to a new or existing database during an extract
           tagged operation.  (This was necessary after the version 3.0
           database reorganization code was added.)

         . Build 45 - Increased the number of times that CompuSlave gives up
           ticks during the import routines for OzCis/OzWin, TapCIS, and
           Ascii Capture Files.

         . Build 44 - Added a quick tip to CompuSlave's Quick Tips screen
           about the ability of STSI to accept CompuSlave registrations using
           SWREG on CompuServe.  (Use program ID #12174)

         . Build 43 - Updated the registration codes for version 3.0.  This
           will require that users of CompuSlave version 2.x upgrade to the
           new version.  (Upgrade fee is $30.00 for a single-user license.)

         . Build 42 - Added an "Ignore Message Number 0 (zero)" option to the
           TapCIS Options dialog box.  Added the ability to ignore these
           messages during the import process when this option is turned on.

         . Build 41 - Modified the Tag Range process to automatically stop
           looking for messages to untag if the total tagged message count
           equals zero.

         . Build 40 - Added an option to cancel the tagging / untagging process
           when the Tag Range option is being used.

         . Build 39 - Added a "TapCIS Options" option to the Settings menu.
           Created a dialog for special options applying to TapCIS imports.

         . Build 38 - Fixed alignment issues on the Tag Range dialog box.
           Removed the Tag All option from this dialog box since it is
           already present from the Editing screen.  Added a status label
           to indicate the total number of sections in the current database.
           Changed the status bar on this dialog box to read "Total Messages
           Tagged".

         . Build 37 - Added an option to the Tag Range dialog box to untag
           all messages contained in the specified search criteria.

         . Build 36 - Implemented the new Tag Range features to allow users
           to tag messages within a range of dates, message numbers, or from
           and to names.  Automatically update the status bar on the Tag
           Range dialog box as message numbers are being tagged.

         . Build 35 - Added options to the Import Options dialog box to turn
           import file filtering on or off and to optionally preserve the
           original import file.  If the original file is not preserved,
           the new filtered file overwrites the original.  The filtered import
           file is created either in the user's temporary directory (if it
           exists on the path), or in the CompuSlave directory if the user's
           temporary directory does not exist on the hard drive.

         . Build 34 - Added a filtering option for import files.  At STSI,
           we ran into several captures files that contained a #0 (null
           character) in between a carriage return and line feed combination,
           as detected using a hex editor.  This caused errors when CompuSlave
           attempted to read the import file, resulting in subsequent data
           validation errors.  To fix this problem, CompuSlave can optionally
           perform a filter of the file prior to an import, removing all #0's
           from the file.  (This character should not be in a normal
           import file anyway.)

         . Build 33 - Added options to the Tag Range dialog box for users
           to tag all messages within date or message number ranges.  Also
           added an option for users to tag all messages within a specific
           section.

         . Build 32 - Added a "Tag Range" option to the Tagged menu and a
           button to the Tagged tool bar for users to access options for
           tagging records within user-specified ranges.

         . Build 31 - Fixed a problem where the background editing screen was
           not synchronizing the display to the same record that was displayed
           in the full browser.  (This was broken as a result of the database
           reorganization, and was NOT a released bug.)

         . Build 30 - Added section length checking to determine what version
           of CompuSlave the database was created with.  This value is used
           to determine the version of the database (version 2.x vs.
           version 3.x).  If an invalid section length is detected, the value
           is not valid, and CompuSlave will not allow the database to be
           opened.

         . Build 29 - Verified that CompuSlave could successfully decompress
           database files prior to performing a version 3.0 reorganization,
           and compress them following the successive database closing
           procedure.

         . Build 28 - Added support for reading WinCIM's *.PLX message format.

         . Build 27 - Fixed the new Date and Time field controls to be read-
           only when they are not being edited, and to be the same color
           (silver) as the rest of the editing fields.

         . Build 26 - Fixed a problem where CompuSlave would try to continue
           to open the database after a version 3.0 reorganization failed.

         . Build 25 - Made sure that the reorganize routines properly detected
           an INI version of 2.x (Windows version) or 1.x (CompuSlave For DOS)
           in order to upgrade the database to version 3.0.

         . Build 24 - Added specialized Date and Time formatted edit controls
           for displaying the Message Date and Message Time fields.

         . Build 23 - Changed the behavior of the status screens.  Previously,
           the user could accidentally close the screens by pressing Alt-F4,
           which is standard Windows behavior.  Since the Cancel button wasn't
           pressed, the user wasn't prompted whether or not he wanted to end
           the current process.  The status screen was closed, but the
           operation would be continued until it was completed.  Now, the
           Alt-F4 combination (or a mouse click on the close box) automatically
           invokes the Cancel button's click method.

         . Build 22 - Changed key identifiers within the code to prevent
           eventual confusion with similar names belonging to other objects.

         . Build 21 - Fixed a problem where Saving an edited message was not
           working after converting to the new database structure.

         . Build 20 - Addressed a problem where CompuSlave was attempting to
           compress a database after successfully converting it from a version
           2.x to a version 3.x database.  The attempt to compress the database
           occurred after the conversion, but before the file was actually
           opened.  (This occurred if the Database Compression setting was set
           to Prompt Before Compress or Compress Always for the individual
           database.)  Disabled the compression that would normally occur
           right after the conversion process.

         . Build 19 - Fixed a problem where extra messages would be found when
           a search entire message search was performed.  This was due to the
           fact that the message record buffer was not being cleared in memory
           before getting each record.  (This was introduced as a result of the
           new version 3.0 database structure, and was not a problem in
           previous versions of CompuSlave.)

         . Note:  The new database structure used by CompuSlave v3.00 can
           significantly reduce the size of the database and index files when
           compared to version 2.xx.  Our tests indicate that the .DAT file is
           about 30% smaller (range 26% - 34%) and the .IX file is about 5%
           smaller.

         . Build 18 - Changed the title on the reorganization status screen
           to "Converting Database" when a database is being converted from
           version 2 to version 3.  Also added the name of the database
           being converted to the title.

         . Build 17 - Added a "Do you wish to convert this database to version
           3?" prompt before converting a database when it is opened.

         . Build 16 - Changed the mini-browser and full-browser section column
           to display section names the same way that version 2.xx did.

         . Build 15 - Fixed a hotkey conflict on the Compression Confirmation
           dialog box.

         . Build 14 - Recoded portions of the Search Entire Message routines
           to decode messages before searching them for user-specified strings,
           and encode messages before adding them to the new search results
           database.

         . Build 13 - Added an error check and message to detect when a user
           attempts to reorganize a version 2.x database.  The reorganization
           process cannot be selected until the user has rebuilt the database
           in the new version 3.0 format by simply opening it with CompuSlave.

         . Build 12 - Added a conversion routine to automatically detect
           CompuSlave version 2.x databases and convert them to the new
           version 3.0 format when they are opened.

         . Build 11 - Made sure that the I/O layer used to encode/decode
           the storage buffer completely clears the storage buffer before
           performing an add record or get record operation.  Added the
           same support to the reorganization routines.

         . Build 10 - Added an additional error message to detect/report a
           problem if a user attempts to overwrite an existing database when
           the database is being accessed by his own or another computer
           system.

         . Build 9 - Fixed a problem where the database INI file was not being
           cleared properly when a new database was being created, if it was
           overwriting an old database by the same name.  (The values from
           the old file were being read, the file was erased, and the new
           one was created using the old values.  Changed the order of
           operations to erase the INI file first, and then create the new
           INI file.)

         . Build 8 - Added a date/time key to allow messages to be sorted
           by the date and time that they were created.

         . Build 7 - Added support to decode the storage buffer each time a
           row needs to be rebuilt for one of the browsers.

         . Build 6 - Added a length byte to offset 4 of the storage buffer to
           inform CompuSlave's database routines what the exact length of each
           message record is.

         . Build 5 - Modified the database structure to eliminate fixed-length
           string fields.  Each string field is started with a length byte,
           and successive string fields follow immediately afterward, with no
           white space in between.  Implemented a storage buffer variable,
           and routines to encode or decode the storage buffer before reading
           or writing a new message to the database.

         . Build 4 - Reduced the data stored in the section field to just
           storing the section number (and sub-section code) in the database
           and index files, and creating a cross-reference with the database
           INI file.

         . Build 3 - Removed support for CompuSlave For DOS by eliminating
           conditional defines.  (CompuSlave For DOS will no longer be
           supported by STSI, since the Windows version is far more advanced,
           making the DOS version not as practical.)

         . Build 2 - Started initial planning for database reorganization to
           make databases and index files much smaller and more compact.
           Converted the Date and Time fields (formerly stored as strings) to
           a numeric representation for database storage.



07-03-96 ■ Version 2.23

         . Build 4 - Fixed a problem where the parsing routines were not
           working on the Date and Time fields for TapCIS message file
           imports.  (This was broken in version 2.22, in an attempt to
           fixing the parsing routines for OzCIS/OzWin users.  Both message
           formats should now import messages without data validation
           errors.)

         . Build 3 - Fixed a problem where CompuSlave could appear to hang
           when importing messages from an OzCIS/OzWin file.  When attempting
           to parse a paragraph of text, it was possible that the word
           wrapping routine would get caught in a recursive loop.  This
           happened if a single character on the beginning of a line was
           followed by more than 79 characters of "white space" (spaces,
           carriage returns, line feeds, etc.).

         . Build 2 - Fixed a problem where the hotkeys could not be used on
           the import dialog box.  (Focus fields had not been set up.)

         . Build 1 - Fixed a tab order problem on the import dialog box.


06-14-96 ■ Version 2.22

         . Build 7 - Added a limit of 5 total databases in the UNREGISTERED
           version of CompuSlave.

         . Build 6 - Fixed a problem where a CompuSlave import could
           appear to hang when attempting to import OzCis/OzWin messages if
           a line in the message body contained a pound sign (#) as the first
           character.

         . Build 5 - Fixed a problem where all message body text imported
           from CIS formatted files was being stripped of leading spaces.
           This appears to have been broken in versions 2.13, 2.20, and 2.21.

         . Build 4 - Fixed a problem where OzWin/II message files could
           receive data validation errors on the date and time fields during
           an import operation.  This occurred if the line that contains the
           date and time in the OzWin file contained a pound sign on the
           line prior to the date.

         . Build 3 - Fixed a problem where the global default Import File
           Format option (on the Import Options screen) was not being saved
           to disk properly.

         . Build 2 - Fixed a problem where a GPF would occur if the user
           attempted to Cancel an import of an OzCIS/OzWin file.

         . Build 1 - Fixed a tab order problem on the import dialog box.


05-30-96 ■ Version 2.21

         . Build 102 - Fixed a problem on the Extract Tagged dialog box when
           users attempted to extract tagged messages to a new database.  If
           the user did not specify the CompuSlave directory on the front of
           the database name field, CompuSlave would use the current directory.
           While this was likely to be the CompuSlave directory anyway, it
           was possible that this could have been the import directory instead,
           if the user had just finished an import operation.

         . Build 101 - Removed the "Register" button from the Settings tab
           on the database editing screen.

         . Build 100 - Fixed a problem where (unrelated) errors messages
           would occur if a user attempted to open a database twice when
           the network type was set to None.  Now, CompuSlave checks to see
           if the database is already open before attempting to open it, and
           issues an error message if the database is already open.  This
           only takes place when the network type is None, so network
           users can still open multiple copies of a database without this
           limitations.

         . Build 99 - Hid the Register and Status menus when a database is
           opened to allow enough room for all of the menu options.  (This
           is needed because the menu was too wide for 640x480 resolution
           under Windows 3.1.)

         . Build 98 - Added a short delay prior to closing the Compression
           Status screens to make it evident that the gauges have reach
           100%.

         . Build 97 - Fixed problems where Help was not linked in to various
           dialog boxes throughout CompuSlave.

         . Build 96 - Changed the behavior of CompuSlave's database browsers
           to ALWAYS be synchronized, no matter what operation is being
           performed.  When a record position is changed from within the
           Full Browser, the record position within the Mini-Browser is
           automatically updated, and the record displayed in the normal
           view also reflects the new position.

         . Build 95 - Fixed a problem where files on the File menu's history
           list were not always being removed from the list while the
           database was open.

         . Build 94 - Updated a vendor's library (used for some memo windows
           and status bars) to the latest version.

         . Build 93 - Made a source code change in a vendor's library on
           their request.  This changed fixed a potential GPF when cutting
           all text from a special memo editing field.  (Due to CompuSlave's
           behavior, our users should not have seen this problem.)

         . Build 92 - Changed the default set of Import File Filters to
           include a "WinCIM/CSNav (*.msg;*.thd)" filter.  (This will only
           appear on new installations of CompuSlave.  Existing users may
           want to manually add this file filter to the file filter list,
           if they wish to import these types of files.)

         . Build 91 - Assigned hot keys to each of the new options on the
           Import Options dialog box.

         . Build 90 - Addressed several issues with the new Import File
           dialog box.  Assigned hot keys for the three available file
           filters.  Assigned the proper tab order.  Added proper handling
           for directory and file mask changes, and proper processing of
           a double-click on the file list box.

         . Build 89 - Investigated the possibility of reading and importing
           WinCIM *.PLX message files (e-mail messages), but since these
           messages are not part of a forum, they do not have a section
           number, a section name, or a response to field, and thus are
           not readily compatible.  Determined that these message types
           should not be imported into a CompuSlave database.

         . Build 88 - Changed the appearance of the dialog box that prompts
           the user whether or not to compress a database when it is closed.
           Added an option to allow the user to change the permanent setting
           of the database compression value, without having to re-open the
           database to make the desired change.

         . Build 87 - Fixed a problem where the memo window was not read-only.
           (This was broken in version 2.20.)

         . Build 86 - Added support to import message threads (*.THD files)
           directly from the WinCIM or CSNav file cabinets.

         . Build 85 - Added I/O checking to the WinCIM file read routines to
           make sure that the entire message contents can be read accurately.

         . Build 84 - Added a default Import File Format to the Import Options
           screen.  Available options are CIS, OZCis/OzWin, and WinCIM/CsNav.
           This setting is used as a global default value, and can be
           overridden for each existing database.

         . Build 83 - Fixed a problem where an error message would be
           displayed that the Import Path entered on the CompuSlave Defaults
           screen did not exist.  This error message now states that the
           Import Path is on the Import Options screen.  Also fixed a problem
           where the Import Path field could contain a ".." in the path if
           the Browse button had been used to search for a path.  This could
           cause the error message to be displayed.

         . Build 82 - Change the import file dialog box to allow the user
           to specify which type of import file format to use when reading
           the import files.  Available types are CIS format (generated by
           using a capture file from a terminal program), OzCis format, and
           WinCIM format.  (Other formats may be added in the future, if
           necessary.)

         . Build 81 - Added support to import messages (*.MSG files) directly
           from the WinCIM or CSNav file cabinets.

         . Build 80 - Added support to import messages from a file generated
           by OzCis/OzWin (*.MSG Format).

         . Build 79 - Fixed a problem where the Mini-Browser was not
           maintaining the same record position after the current sort order
           was changed from inside the Full Browser.

         . Build 78 - Fixed a problem where the Mini-Browser was not
           maintaining the same record position after changing the current
           sort order.

         . Build 77 - Changed to a different method of locking the search
           results database memo window to prevent flickering.  This method
           is superior to the old one, making the flickering unnoticeable.

         . Information - Each message in a CompuSlave database consumes at
           least one SECTION in the database.  The maximum number of sections
           that can be stored in one database is 2,147,483,647.  The largest
           STSI database contains 303,253 messages, which consume 860,048
           sections.  This equates to an approximate database capacity of
           757 million messages.  However, due to the 2 gigabyte file size
           limitation of 16-bit applications, the practical limit is about
           2.7 milliion messages.  This limit may vary due to the length of
           each message in the database.

         . Build 76 - Modified several of the status gauges to use the newer
           style contol.

         . Build 75 - Added a status message box to inform the user if no
           files are found to delete on the "Cleanup" option.

         . Build 74 - Added a check to determine whether other users are
           actually using the database before attempting to reorganize it
           on the current workstation.  (This check only occurs when Novell
           or MSNet is used for the network type.)  If other users are
           accessing the database, the reorganization process is aborted.

         . Build 73 - Added the ability for CompuSlave to erase all *.CSF,
           *.DSF, and *.RSF signal files in the cleanup process.

         . Build 72 - Created a reorganization lock file that is used to
           warn other network users that a reorganization process is taking
           place.  This file is created before the reorganization starts, and
           erased after the reorganization finishes.

         . Build 71 - Added a check to ensure that the database is not
           being reorganized by another user before attempting to decompress
           or compress it.

         . Build 70 - Added compression and decompression conflict checking
           before attempting to reorganize a database.  This process assures
           that no other users are compressing or decompressing the database.

         . Build 69 - Locked the new text editor window during updates to
           minimize flickering.  (Search results database only.)

         . Build 68 - Enhanced the appearance of the status bars on the
           compression status screens.

         . Build 67 - Fixed a GPF problem that would occur after the "Page
           Fault" error was fixed in Build 66.  This GPF was caused when
           CompuSlave attempted to determine the number of network users in a
           database prior to an attempt to compress it.  This problem only
           occurred if the user cancelled a reorganization process, and
           answered Yes to compress the database.  (This problem was also
           introduced in version 2.20.)

         . Build 66 - Fixed a problem where a "Page Fault" error would
           occur when reorganizing a database after the user cancelled the
           reorganization process.  (This problem was introduced in version
           2.20.)

         . Build 65 - Added an option to enable/disable the message box that
           displays the number of messages added to a database following
           an import operation.  (This setting can be modified from the
           Import Options dialog box.)

         . Build 64 - Added an option to enable/display the confirmation
           dialog box that appears prior to importing a file into the
           database.  (This setting can be modified from the Import Options
           dialog box.)

         . Build 63 - Added support for selecting multiple import files from
           the import file dialog box.  (Use a CTRL-Click to highlight
           multiple files within the dialog box.)

         . Build 62 - Changed the right-click popup menu in a search results
           database to only contain a "Copy" option.  The Cut, Paste, and
           Delete options do not apply since messages in a search results
           database cannot be edited.

         . Build 61 - Changed the search text highlighting color back from
           white on maroon to the default highlight color (usually white
           on navy).

         . Build 60 - Fixed a problem where extra text would intermittently
           appear to be highlighted in a search results database.  Fixed this
           problem by forcing a repaint of the memo window after displaying
           a new message.

         . Build 59 - Added support to use mouse highlighting in the alternate
           text editing control used for a search results database.

         . Build 58 - Modified the Memo display window to use a standard
           Windows memo for a normal database, and an alternate text editing
           control for a search results database.

         . Build 57 - Linked in the updated compression libraries.

         . Build 56 - Changed the default Printing font to Courier New,
           Pitch=10.  (The previous setting was Courier New, Pitch=20.)
           Since this setting is remembered between CompuSlave sessions,
           users upgrading from a previous version will need to make this
           change manually by accessing the Font option from the Print
           dialog box.

         . Build 55 - Fixed a problem where printing a message on a printer
           would produce very small print.  (This was due to a bug in the
           programming language.)

         . Build 54 - Added an option to the Import Options screen to allow
           the user to control whether Duplicate Message Numbers are always
           added to the database, never added to the database, or whether
           a dialog box pops up to prompt them for each message.

         . Build 53 - Removed the "Sort by..." sub-menu from the popup menus
           on the Full Browser and Mini-Browser screens.  This sub-menu has
           been replaced with a "Sort" menu option that links to the
           Sort Database dialog box.

         . Build 52 - Created a common routine for retrieving the names of
           database files from the CompuSlave directory.  This routine is
           used by the Batch Import and Database Status processes.

         . Build 51 - Added a status indicator when reading the database .INI
           files when Databases is selected from the Status menu.

         . Build 50 - Added a status indicator when reading the database .INI
           files during a batch import.

         . Build 49 - Modified the mini-browsers column widths to be
           automatically updated to match those of the Full Browser when
           the columns are resized.

         . Build 48 - Added context-sensitive help to the New Database screen.
           (This was previously omitted.)

         . Build 47 - Added a speed button to the Register tab on the main
           toolbar for the Order CompuSlave option.

         . Build 46 - Fixed a problem where the Cut/Copy/Paste commands were
           not working in edit mode.  Also fixed a problem where the Delete
           key mapping was not working in the new text editor.

         . Build 45 - Corrected a problem where the Last Import Time was
           not being displayed properly on the Batch Import and Database
           Status forms.

         . Build 44 - Added support for CompuSlave to remember the width
           of the columns in the Full Browser and Mini Browser for each
           database.

         . Build 43 - Added a filtering status display to the full browser to
           show the status of the filtering process.  This process can take a
           considerable amount of time on large databases.

         . Build 42 - Disabled the automatic update timer for the full browser
           if not in network mode.

         . Build 41 - Added speed-buttons to the bottom of the Full Browser
           for the Sort, Tag, and Column Order options.

         . Build 40 - Added a speed-button panel to the bottom of the
           Full Browser.  Added a speed-button to turn message filtering on
           or off. This allows users to view only the tagged messages in
           the browser.  Also added an option to the popup menu to turn
           filtering on/off.

         . Build 39 - Changed the way the Last Import Date and Time is
           displayed on the Batch Import and Database Status forms to show
           "None" if no imports have been done.  (Or none have been logged
           to the .INI file.)

         . Build 38 - Added a section to the Batch Import screen to indicate
           whether the import file exists on disk.

         . Build 37 - Added network file locking for writing to the activity
           log file.

         . Build 36 - Added a speed button to the Status tab on the main
           toolbar for the Databases option.

         . Build 35 - Moved the code from the BatchImportClick event procedure
           into the BatchStatusForm.FormCreate procedure.

         . Build 34 - Added a Status, Databases option to display statistics
           about the databases in the CompuSlave directory.

         . Build 33 - Enhanced the response buttons on the toolbar and tool
           pallette by providing additional visual indications of the number
           of responses to a given message.  If there are no responses, the
           button icon will appear disabled.  If there is one response, the
           button icon will be red.  If there is more than one response, the
           button icon will be green.

         . Build 32 - Fixed a problem where the SlaveFindRecordMultiple function
           was very slow at searching through the index for message responses.

         . Build 31 - Added a "Replies" indicator on the database screen to
           indicate the number of responses to a given message.

         . Build 30 - Modified the SlaveFindRecordMultiple function to return
           the number of responses to a given message.

         . Build 29 - Changed the color of the search text highlighting from
           white on blue to white on maroon.

         . Build 28 - Fixed a horizontal scroll problem on the new text editor.

         . Build 27 - Improved the appearance of the standard status screen.

         . Build 26 - Removed the list box control that was used to display
           the message body field on a search results database.  Previously,
           this was the only control that would support highlighting of
           multiple strings in the message body text.  We have replaced this
           control with a new text editing control that supports the
           highlighting of multiple strings.

         . Build 25 - Added additional quick tips.  Deleted a duplicate tip.

         . Build 24 - Added a "Delete activity log" button to the defaults
           screen.

         . Build 23 - Changed the type of viewer used to display the log file
           text from the defaults screen.  The previous viewer was limited to
           a maximum file size of 32K, and an "unable to insert a line" error
           message would be issued if the size of the log file was greater than
           32K.  The new viewer can handle files up to 2 Gigabytes in size.

         . Build 22 - Added an option to the Register menu to print an
           order form for CompuSlave.  This form, once completed, may be
           FAXed, sent, or uploaded to STSI.

         . Build 21 - Fixed an obscure problem where a "List Index Out of
           Bounds" error would occur when opening a database if the database
           INI file could not be read due to a lock error.  Also fixed a
           problem where the default column order for the database browsers
           was not being set if the database INI file could not be read
           after a lock error.

         . Build 20 - Added a status screen to show lock file progress.

         . Build 19 - Added network file locking for reading INI files when
           the user selects the "Batch Import" option.

         . Build 18 - Updated the caption on the Delete dialog box to say
           "Delete Database".

         . Build 17 - Added an option to the Utilities sub-menu to clear
           the history list.  Added separator bars to the Utilities sub-menu.

         . Build 16 - Added a Registration Information button to the Register
           tab on the main window's toolbar.  Added safety code to make
           sure the main window's toolbar displays the first page, and that
           the tab names match the page names of the toolbar.

         . Build 15 - Changed the main screen graphic.

         . Build 14 - Added a compression/decompression progress indicator
           that displays in bytes.  (This offers an additional indication
           of progress, especially on large files where the percentage bar
           may not reach 1% for a time.)

         . Build 13 - Added speed buttons to the first page of the toolbar
           to give users quick access to the last five open databases.

         . Build 12 - Reset the DatabaseVersion value inside the Database
           INI file to the current program version when a database
           reorganization is completed successfully.

         . Build 11 - Added an "Order CompuSlave" option to the Register
           menu.

         . Build 10 - Changed the toolbar on the main window to have multiple
           pages accessible by clicking on a tabset.  Added a separate
           Register menu, and moved the Register and Registration Information
           options to this menu.  Added tabs to the multi-page toolbar for
           each of the menus.

         . Build 9 - Fixed a problem that occurred when multiple users
           attempted to access the same database using the Novell or MS-Net
           network settings.  A dialog box was previously displayed prompting
           the 2nd user whether he wanted to use the compressed or decompressed
           version of the database.  We now check to see if other users are
           accessing the database before displaying this prompt.  If other
           users are in the database, no decompression is performed and the
           database is opened normally.

         . Build 8 - Changed the print tagged feature to print messages in
           true message number order.

         . Build 7 - Fixed a problem where the Print Tagged Messages feature
           was printing messages in reverse order (newest to oldest).
           Messages are now printed in chronological order (oldest to
           newest).  (This method actually prints the messages in "record
           number order", which may not be identical to the message number
           order.)

         . Build 6 - Fixed a problem where if the user answered "No" to the
           reorganize confirmation prompt, both the .DAT and .ZIP files would
           remain on a compressed database.  Fixed a problem where resources
           were not being released if the user answered "No" to the same
           prompt.

         . Build 5 - Added the ability to change the "Compress Message Data"
           setting from the reorganize database form.

         . Build 4 - Expanded the text of an error message that is displayed
           if the number of files in a ZIP file is found to be zero.  The
           error message now explains that this can be due to the non-
           existence of XCDZIP.DLL or XCDUNZIP.DLL in the user's Windows
           System directory.

         . Build 3 - Added a Settings and a Window page to the toolbar on
           the database editing screen.  Added all options from the Settings
           menu to the Settings page, and added all options from the Window
           menu to the Window page.

         . Build 2 - Changed the Search Status Form to fsStayOnTop.  This
           prevents the search status form from getting "lost" until the
           search is complete.

         . Build 1 - Changed the border style on the compression status and
           search status screens so it is not sizeable.  Changed the gauge
           color on the search status screen from yellow to blue.


04-25-96 ■ Version 2.20

         . Build 70 - Fixed a problem where a GPF (0002:7347) would occur if
           the Emergency Exit option was selected from the Help menu when one
           or more databases were open.  (Internal fix only... This problem
           did not appear in the released version.)

         . Build 69 - Fixed a problem where the "Messages have been tagged..."
           warning dialog appeared twice when clicking on CompuSlave's
           main window system menu (the close box).  Moved database closing
           checks out of the OnCloseQuery event to the OnClose event.
           (Internal fix only... This problem did not appear in the released
           version.)

         . Build 68 - Added a "Confirm Before Exiting CompuSlave" option to
           the Interface tab on the Defaults dialog box.  This will cause
           CompuSlave to prompt users for confirmation before they exit the
           application.  Fixed a couple of hot key conflicts on the Interface
           tab on the Defaults screen.

         . Build 67 - Modified the Extract Tagged Messages option to allow
           the extraction of messages to a compressed database.  The Browse
           dialog box now allows ZIP files to be selected.

         . Build 66 - Updated the documentation, help file, and help file
           links with the latest changes.

         . Build 65 - Made sure hot-keys were assigned to controls on all
           dialog boxes, and that there were no hot-key conflicts.

         . Build 64 - Fixed tab order problems on the data validation dialog
           box.  Fixed a problem where there wasn't a hotkey assigned for
           the Search Entire Message option on the Search Type dialog box.

         . Build 63 - Implemented a new XCDUNZIP.DLL file, to fix a problem
           in a vendor's library.  Previously, if the user cancelled a
           decompression process, the file being extracted was not closed,
           and therefore could not be deleted in a cleanup process.  The
           open file could also cause problems if the user immediately
           tried to decompress the database again.  Internal testing shows
           that this (non-released) bug has been fixed.

         . Build 62 - Built in support for 4 separate "Match Case" check boxes
           on the Search Entire Message screen.  This allows one of the
           separate settings for each of the four group boxes on this screen.

         . Build 61 - Modified the behavior of the Test Archive Integrity
           option.  If the user cancels the testing process, he will be
           prompted whether to erase the non-compressed database, erase the
           compressed database, and take no action.

         . Build 60 - Changed the behavior of the editing fields on the
           Options tab of the Defaults screen.  When the Use Activity Log
           check box is not checked, the Log File Name field will be disabled.
           Likewise, when the Auto-Load Database On Startup check box is
           not checked, the Startup Database Name field will be disabled.

         . Build 59 - Combined the compression, decompression, and test
           ZIP integrity status screens into one screen that can be
           modified depending on the current operation.

         . Build 58 - Implemented a new status screen for the Search Entire
           Message process.  The new screen is much more visually appealing,
           and contains room to display the entire search criteria used
           in the search process.  Removed most of the description fields
           from the Defaults, Compression Options, and Current Database
           screens.  The extensive number of options being added requires
           that these description fields be removed to make room for the
           bare necessities.

         . Build 57 - Added code to manually show the progress bar at 100%
           before closing the rebuild/reorganize status window.

         . Build 56 - Added a safety check to make sure the user is warned
           before creating a new database if an existing database already
           exists in compressed form.  The user is warned that the
           compressed database will be overwritten if he chooses to continue.

         . Build 55 - Added a status screen to the Test Zip Archive option
           to show the user the file being processed and the percentage
           completed.

         . Build 54 - Added a Test Zip Archive option to allow users to test
           the integrity of a compressed database before CompuSlave deletes
           the original database.  Added a check box to the Compression
           Options screen to enable or disable this option.  Turned off the
           Move Files option for the ZIP compression, since the database
           files will be manually deleted once the integrity test is
           successful.

         . Build 53 - Reworked the order and placement of code that
           performs the database compression and query to save a search
           results database.  The prompt to compress a database now occurs
           after the editing form for the database has been hidden from view.

         . Build 52 - Added checking to make sure than CompuSlave can read
           the CompuSlave INI file during the initial execution.  If this
           file cannot be read (usually due to a locking error), the
           application will issue an error message and terminate.

         . Build 51 - Added support for compressed .ZIP databases to the
           Reorganize Database option.  Users can now browse for a compressed
           database and CompuSlave will decompress the database prior to
           reorganizing it.  CompuSlave also re-compresses the database
           based on the setting of the Database Compression option in the
           individual database INI file.

         . Build 50 - Modified the batch import routine to make sure that
           a compressed database name is not added to the list of databases
           in the table if a non-compressed database with the same name
           already exists in the table.

         . Build 49 - Deleted the backup database if the user selected not
           to continue once he was informed of the Compress Data setting.
           Erased the INI file when the user selected Delete Database from
           the Utilities menu.

         . Build 48 - Narrowed up the Tag column on the database browser.
           Disabled the Reorganize Database option when 1 or more databases
           are open.  Fixed a character case problem on the reorganization
           backup database status screen.

         . Build 47 - Verified that the proper compression and decompression
           operations take place when batch imports are in process.  Made
           necessary adjustments and corrections.

         . Build 46 - Rewrote the routine that performs text highlighting in
           a search results database to handle up to 9 search strings.

         . Build 45 - Removed the compression information from the Reorganize
           Database dialog box.  Since this information is now contained
           inside each individual database's INI file, CompuSlave cannot
           display the compression state before the database is selected.

         . Build 44 - Changed the caption on the Database Options screen
           to display the name of the database being modified.  Also changed
           the wording on the built-in help screens on the Compression
           Options dialog box.

         . Build 43 - Updated the vendor's library for the database engine
           and database browsers.  This update includes some minor changes
           for Windows 95 support and browser fixes.

         . Build 42 - Added the capability for each database to have
           separate settings for the "Compress Data" and "Database
           Compression" settings.  Added a new option to the Settings menu
           called "Current Database" that allows the user to change these
           settings in the currently open database.  The default value will
           be set to the global setting assigned by the user on the
           Compression Options screen.

         . Build 41 - Added an Import Options menu option to the Settings
           menu and created an Import Options dialog box to manage all
           import-related settings.  Moved the import-related options from
           the Defaults dialog box to the Import Options dialog box.  Added
           an Imports speed button on the main form's toolbar for quicker
           access to the Import Options dialog box.

         . Build 40 - Combined the Compress Entire Database and Prompt
           Before Compression options into one value called Database
           Compression.  The user can select to Never Compress Databases,
           Prompt Before Compressing Databases, or Always Compress
           Databases.

         . Build 39 - Added a Compression button on the main form's toolbar
           for quicker access to the Compression Options dialog box.

         . Build 38 - Added a Compression menu option to the Settings menu
           and created a Compression Options dialog box to manage all
           compression-related settings.  Moved the Batch and Compression
           pages from the Defaults dialog box to the Compression Options
           dialog box.

         . Build 37 - Added the ability to cancel the rebuild index process
           that occurs when a database is opened with a missing or corrupt
           index file.  A new status screen shows the percentage completed
           and gives the user a Cancel button to terminate the process.

         . Build 36 - Corrected a problem where the .LCK file was not getting
           erased when a search database was created.  This would generate a
           "Lock error on the file ... .INI".

         . Build 35 - Added a new page called "Batch" to the Defaults dialog
           box for the batch import process.  Added a setting to control the
           compression of databases during the batch import process.  This
           setting allows users to either compress all databases after
           an import is complete, compress none of the databases after the
           import is complete, or only compress a database that was in
           compressed form before the import process was started.

         . Build 34 - Added a setting to allow the user to specify whether
           CompuSlave prompts him prior to compressing a database.  The
           default is TRUE.  If this option is turned off, the database
           is automatically compressed when it is closed.

         . Build 33 - Added an option to do nothing (No Action) if the user
           cancels the compression process.

         . Build 32 - Added safety checking to make sure that if the user
           cancels the compression process, he will be prompted whether to
           delete the old compressed database, or the newer non-compressed
           database.  (This situation will only exist if the database had
           been previously compressed, and the ZIP file still exists in the
           CompuSlave directory.)

         . Build 31 - Modified the file filters on the Batch Import, Add,
           Browse For Database dialog box to include options for ZIP files.

         . Build 30 - Added a safety check to make sure that a ZIP file has
           a corresponding INI file before adding it to the table displayed
           on the batch import screen.  (Since database INI files were
           introduced in version 2.10 of CompuSlave, users upgrading from
           a version prior to 2.10 will simply have to open and close a
           database for the database INI file to be created.  This will
           allow a compressed database to be automatically added to the
           batch import screen for possible selection.)

         . Build 29 - Added the ability for the batch import process to
           search for compressed ZIP files to include in the batch import
           process.  ZIP files that are found are added to the table for
           possible selection by the user.

         . Build 28 - Implemented file locking for the database INI files
           to ensure that 2 users on a network or multitasking system
           cannot attempt to read or write to these files at the same
           time.  (This process uses atomic lock files.)

         . Build 27 - Implemented a file locking system for the file
           CSLAVEW.INI to ensure that 2 users on a network or multitasking
           system cannot attempt to read or write to this file at the
           same time.  (This process uses atomic lock files.)

         . Build 27 - Changed the compression routines to store the
           database INI file outside of the ZIP file.  (This allows the
           batch import routines to work properly, and provides flexibility
           for future enhancements.)

         . Build 26 - Added a setting to the Interface page of the Defaults
           dialog box to allow the user to specify whether a search results
           database is opened in a cascaded, tiled, or maximized window.

         . Build 25 - Added safety code to clean up (erase) extracted files
           if the user cancels the decompression process.  This will leave
           only the compressed .ZIP file in the directory.

         . Build 22 - Turned off the option on the Open File dialog that
           forced the filename to exist before CompuSlave would open it.
           This will allow users to enter a filename with a DAT extension,
           even though the actual filename may have a ZIP extension.

         . Build 21 - Modified the open database routines to automatically
           look for and open a compressed database if the uncompressed
           database file does not exist.

         . Build 20 - Added a check to make sure that other network (or
           multitasking) users are not accessing a decompressed database
           if an attempt is made to decompress a compressed database that
           has the same name.  If another user is accessing the database,
           the current user is not allowed to decompress over the top of it.

         . Build 18 - Added a check to make sure that other network (or
           multitasking) users are not accessing the database prior to
           attempting to compress it.

         . Build 15 - Added a check to make sure there is enough free space
           on the target drive before attempting to decompress a compressed
           (.ZIP) database.  This check takes into account the cluster size
           on the target drive.

         . Build 14 - Added support for highlighting up to 9 different
           search strings in a search results database.  This was necessary
           after enhancing the search capability to include more options
           (See Build 12).

         . Build 13 - Fixed a problem where the Find operation could cause
           a general protection fault when the user searched for text
           containing more than one word.  Recursion caused the GPF, so
           the routine has been rewritten to eliminate the possibility of
           recursion.  Also fixed a problem where the Cancel button on the
           Find dialog box was not receiving a mouse click, making it
           difficult to cancel a Find procedure.  This was due to the fact
           that the background (Main) window was receiving the focus after
           a new message was displayed.  Disabled the code that switches
           the focus to the main form if the Find dialog box is displayed.
           Added a confirmation dialog to the Cancel option on the Find
           dialog box.  This will confirm that the user wants to cancel the
           Find before the process is actually terminated.

         . Build 12 - Expanded the search capability on the "Search Entire
           Message" screen.  User can now enter text in up to 12 fields, using
           a combination of AND/OR/NOT statements.

         . Build 11 - Changed the order that files are added to the compressed
           file list.  Now we add the smallest files first.  This makes the
           status screens work better.  Added checks to ensure that no
           compression or decompression is in progress before deleting the
           compressed file.

         . Build 10 - Added signal file support to manage simultaneous
           compression of databases.  Corrected some minor centering and
           sizing problems on the Compression and Decompression status forms.

         . Build 9 - Changed the behavior of the decompression routine to
           overwrite existing files.

         . Build 8 - Added signal file support to manage simultaneous
           decompression of compressed databases.

         . Build 7 - Added a decompression status screen to display the
           progress of the decompression process.

         . Build 6 - Changed the name of the "Messages" tab to "Validation"
           on the Defaults notebook.  Added a "Compression" tab, and moved
           the Compress Message Data check box to this tab.  Added option to
           enable/disable compressing the entire database using ZIP compatible
           compression.

         . Build 5 - Ensured that the database files were "added" to the
           compressed file if the compressed file did not exist, and were
           "updated" in the compressed file if the compressed file already
           existed.  (The update option is extremely fast, since only
           changed files are updated.)

         . Build 4 - Added support for *.ZIP file filters on the "Open" and
           "Delete" file dialogs.

         . Build 3 - Added status routine for the database compression
           process.

         . Build 2 - Added support for storing the .DAT, .IX, .DIA, and .INI
           files in compressed form.  (PKZIP compatible .ZIP file.)


02-28-96 ■ Version 2.13

         . Build 214 - Enhanced the appearance of the "About" dialog box.

         . Build 213 - Fixed a problem where the current message was not
           begin reset after an "Extract Tagged" operation was completed.

         . Build 193 - Added Message Data compression status indicators on
           the Reorganize Database screen.

         . Changed the wording on the Tagged tab buttons to be more concise.
           (Example:  "Print" changed to "Print Tagged")

         . Moved the "Compress Message Data" control from the Paths tab on
           the Defaults screen to the Messages tab.

         . Fixed a minor problem where the response number field was not
           being set to "NONE" if the sequence of characters at the
           beginning of the subject field was "#-".  This would cause a
           data validation error to occur.

         . Enhanced the Reorganize Database option (on the Utilities menu)
           to allow users to examine records during the reorganization
           process to decide whether or not they should be included in
           the database when it is reorganized.  Users can examine all
           records, or only records within a range of values (1 to 10, etc.).
           When a message is examined, the user is given the option of
           whether to save the message or discard it completely.  Users
           can also view the message body text during the examination
           process.

         . Removed the minimize icon from the group of border icons on
           the Database Browser title bar and the View File dialog box
           title bar.  (User should not be able to minimize a modal dialog
           box.)  Added the ability for users to resize the View File
           dialog box.  (This dialog box is used for viewing the activity
           log and for viewing message body text when a message fails the
           data validation check.)

         . Added a new tab on the Defaults screen for "Messages".  This
           page contains a setting for Data Validation when saving messages
           to the database.  Users can set data validation to "Prompt
           Before Adding Message" which instructs CompuSlave to prompt
           them if a message does not meet the import criteria specified
           by CompuSlave.  The user will be shown a dialog box containing
           the message fields, and will be given the opportunity to add
           the message anyway, or discard it completely.  Other options for
           Data Validation include "Never Add Message", which automatically
           rejects any messages that fail to meet the import criteria, and
           "Always Add Message", which causes CompuSlave to completely
           ignore the data validation check.  Reasons that a message could
           fail a data validation check include: improper date format,
           improper time format, message number field does not contain a
           number, message number field contains a zero (0), response
           number field does not contain either "NONE" or a number, or the
           calculated size of the message body text exceeds 24K.  Other
           validation checks may be added in the future, if necessary.

         . Modified the importing routine to make sure that data assigned
           to a field cannot be longer than the allowed field length.  This
           should not happen anyway, since the field lengths are long enough
           to accomodate the associated field text.  However, if a user
           attempts to import a capture file that is not formatted
           correctly, the data assigned could become too long, causing
           fields to be corrupt.  Note to users: If you are using a terminal
           program such as QmodemPro, Procomm Plus, STSI Com, etc., and
           are capturing the text files as suggested in the documentation,
           you should not have to worry about problems like this.

         . Implemented newest version (.52) of database browser.

         . Fixed a problem where the INI file was not being renamed and/or
           moved if the user chose to save a search results database under
           a new name and/or in a new location.  If the user was moving the
           database files to a new location, this would cause the INI file
           to remain in the temporary directory, so the temporary directory
           would not be deleted.  (No errors were reported to the user, but
           the remaining directory could be noticed underneath the CompuSlave
           directory.)  If the user simply renamed the database, the INI
           file would be left in the directory under the old name, and a new
           INI file would be created the next time the saved database was
           opened by CompuSlave.

         . Fixed a problem where the error message "One or more of the files
           could not be renamed.  The temporary database has not been
           deleted." would occur when attempting to save a search results
           database if the user attempted to rename and/or relocate the
           database files.  CompuSlave was attempting to rename/move the
           .DIA (dialog) file that is created in network environments.  This
           problem only occurred if the network type was set to "None", and
           was not a problem for Novell and MS-Net network types, since the
           dialog file exists in those situations.

         . Added support for the plus key (+) to move the database to the
           next message and the minus key (-) to move the database to
           the previous message.  Also added support for using the ENTER key
           to move the database to the next message.  These key mappings are
           not valid when a record is being added or modified.

         . Added enhancements to CompuSlave's printing support.  Added the
           ability to print a range of messages, allowing the user to
           specify the starting and ending message number.  Also added an
           option to print the messages using CompuSlave's import file
           format.  This format should match the exact format used by
           CompuServe when messages are captured using an ASCII terminal
           program.

         . Added support for CompuSlave to remember the current sorting order
           of a database between sessions.

         . Added support to automatically change the sort field on the mini-
           browser view when the sort field is changed from within the Full
           Browser.  Also added support to automatically update the column
           order in the mini-browser when the order in the Full Browser is
           changed.  Made sure that the highlight bar position is maintained
           no matter which of the previous actions are performed.

         . Added support for users to change the column display order
           within the Full Browser.  (Also added this ability to the
           mini-browser view.)  This setting can be different for each
           database.  (Display order is written to the database's INI file.)

         . Added hot-keys to the tabs on the Defaults screen.

         . Fixed a minor display problem where the 2nd and 3rd lines of
           the "Please Wait" dialog were not being cleared when the Batch
           Import option was selected.  This could cause left-over text from
           a previous operation to be displayed on these lines.

         . Changed the behavior of CompuSlave's sort feature.  Previously,
           CompuSlave would reset the database to the first record after
           the user changed the sort field.  Now, CompuSlave will stay on
           the current record, no matter what the sort field was changed
           from or to.  (The order of display will simply be changed.)

         . Changed the tagged indicator on the batch status form to
           make a tagged line more obvious.  (A triangle is drawn to the
           left of the selected database.)

         . Enhanced the mini-browser to have column dividers, a
           proportionally-spaced font, sizeable headings, and incremental
           search capability.

         . Changed the Tag/Untag key in the database browser from a space
           to the F10 key.  The space key is now used in the new incremental
           search feature.

         . Added a Tag/Untag option to the pop-up menu.

         . Created a pop-up menu within the database browser to give users
           the ability to change the field used for sorting.  Built in
           support so that the browser automatically maintains its position
           on the current record when the sort field is changed.

         . Enhanced the database browser to have column dividers, a
           proportionally-spaced font, sizeable headings, and incremental
           search capability.

         . Added user customization of the import file filters.  A new tab
           was added on the Defaults screen to allow users to enter up to 5
           import filters.  (The first import filter listed will be the
           default.)  These import filters will be used on the Import File
           dialog boxes, allowing users to change which types of files are
           displayed in the file list.

         . Added a file history list to the File menu.  CompuSlave will display
           the last database files that were opened (up to five total).  Users
           can now select the database name directly from the File menu to
           open it.


01-11-96 ■ Version 2.12

         . Fixed a potential problem where corruption could be displayed in the
           message fields if the user deleted the last message in the database.

         . Added a warning message to the tag all process to alert users that
           they cannot tag more than 16,384 messages at one time.

         . Updated copyright notices for 1996.

         . Changed the size and position of the floating Tool Palette to allow
           room for 2 additional speed buttons.  Added the Open Database and
           Close Database buttons to the Tool Palette.  Moved the Time and
           Keyword fields directly below the Date field to make room for the
           larger Tool Palette.

         . Swapped the First through Last buttons on the "Messages" tab of
           the toolbar with the Browse through Sort buttons.

         . Added Tag All and Untag All buttons to the "Tagged" tab on the
           toolbar to allow users to tag and untag all messages in the database
           with one command.  The Tag All command is limited to tagging
           16,384 messages.

         . Added a warning to alert users if they try to close the database
           when messages are tagged.  The warning message gives users the
           opportunity to cancel the close process, in order to perform an
           action with the tagged messages.

         . Enhanced CompuSlave's printing support.  Added the ability to print
           the current message, tagged messages, or all messages in the
           database.  Added a Font button to the Print Dialog to allow users
           to change the default font, size, color, etc. that is used when
           messages are printed to the printer.  Added other options to break
           between pages, untag messages after printing, and prompt to continue
           if an error should occur.  Added status screens to the print tagged
           and print all options to allow users to cancel the printing process.

         . Added an "Extract" button to the "Tagged" tab on the toolbar.
           Added support to allow users to extract all tagged messages and
           place them in another new or existing database.  (After this process,
           the messages will remain in the existing database, but can be
           removed easily by selecting the "Delete" button and deleting all
           tagged messages.)

         . Added a "Print" button to the "Tagged" tab on the toolbar.  This
           will allow users to print either the current message or all of the
           tagged messages.

         . Added a "Delete" button to the "Tagged" tab on the toolbar.  This
           will give users the option of deleting all tagged records.

         . Added a "Tagged" tab to the toolbar at the top of the editing screen
           to manage operations related to tagged messages.

         . Added a "Tag Message" check box to the Normal view, and an option to
           tag a record from the browser or mini-browserr screens by pressing
           the space bar.

         . Fixed a minor problem where the focus would automatically shift to
           the message body field when using the "Mini-Browser view".  This
           would be inconvenient for the user, since pressing the down arrow in
           the Mini-Browser would automatically transfer the focus to the bottom
           portion of the screen, forcing the user re-select the Mini-Browser
           before being able to press the down arrow key again.

         . Improved the appearance of the status screens.

         . Added a "Please Wait" dialog box that will be displayed before the
           Batch Import screen is displayed.  This is necessary because
           CompuSlave has to search for a list of database names, and their
           accompanying import files.  This process can require a little time,
           especially if the user has a large quantity of database files in the
           CompuSlave directory.

         . Added a minimize button to the Batch Import screen to allow users
           to minimize the entire CompuSlave For Windows application until
           the batch import process is finished.  (This was especially necessary
           for Windows 95 users, since Windows 95 does not provide an easy way
           to return to the desktop or click on desktop icons if a large modal
           dialog box is in the way.)

         . Fixed a typographical error on the Network Options screen and on
           one of the Quick Tips.

         . Fixed a problem where vertical scroll bars were not appearing
           on the message body's memo window when the Mini-Browser or Full-
           Screen message views were used.


12-14-95 ■ Version 2.11

         . Version 1.01 of STSI Com is included in the new CompuSlave
           package.  Added many enhancements / improvements to STSI Com,
           including:

           -> CompuServe Settings screen for Name, User ID, Password, and
              Host Name.
           -> New Phonebook Layout.  This will require users to set up
              any phonebook entries from scratch.  Previously, users could
              not specify a different Com Port, Baud Rate, Parity, etc.,
              for each phonebook entry.  The new layout allows these
              settings, as well as a user-defined login script.  STSI Com
              can optionally create a default CompuServe login script using
              the information entered on the CompuServe Settings screen.
           -> Phonebook Defaults screen to allow users to enter the
              default Com Port, Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits, Stop Bits,
              etc., for each new entry in the phonebook.

         . Added a proper title to the title bar on the "Batch Add"
           dialog box used for adding a database to the Batch Import
           process or editing an existing database.  (Previously, the
           title had been left as "Dialog".)

         . Spruced up the Register, Network Options, and Registration
           Information screens.

         . Performed minor cosmetic changes to the Defaults screen and
           the About screen.

         . Changed the help context on the View Activity Log screen so the
           "Defaults screen" help appears when Help is selected, instead of
           the Table of Contents.

         . Added the "Tip #" to the title bar of the CompuSlave Tip screen,
           so users can tell what Tip they are viewing, and when they have
           reached the end of the Tips.

         . Fixed a minor problem where the same CompuSlave Tip would appear
           each time CompuSlave was executed.  Now, a tip is chosen at random.

         . Modified the questionaire in the REGISTER.DOC file.

         . Changed the caption on the Batch Import screen to "Batch Import"
           instead of "Batch Import Status".  Removed the bold attribute from
           the font on the bottom half of the buttons on this screen.


12-03-95 ■ Version 2.10

         . Fixed a problem where CompuSlave was not highlighting text when
           using the Find option if the text to be found contained more than
           1 word and the words were separated in the message body by a line
           break.

         . Fixed a problem where CompuSlave was not highlighting search
           phrases in a temporary search results database if the search phrase
           contained more than 1 word and the words were separated in the
           message body by a line break.

         . Added "Last Import Date" and "Last Import Time" fields to the
           Database INI files to keep track of the last date and time that an
           import was performed on each database.  Added columns for these
           values to the Batch Import screen, so users can quickly view this
           information.

         . Expanded the documentation and help files to include information
           about new options.  Sectioned up the help file into smaller chunks,
           and greatly improved CompuSlave's context-sensitive help system.

         . Changed the behavior of CompuSlave to automatically return the focus
           to the message body field after a user selects Next, Previous, First,
           Last, and most of the other buttons.  This allows users to
           immediately press the PgUp and PgDn keys to view the text of the
           message, without having to click the mouse in the message area first.

         . Added an option to the Defaults screen to allow users to specify
           whether or not a confirmation dialog box is displayed before a
           message can be deleted.  This option is ON by default, which means
           that users will be prompted to confirm a message deletion.

         . Added support for CompuSlave to beep when a duplicate message
           is found and the user is prompted with a warning/confirmation
           dialog box.  This will aid users who leave their computer somewhat
           unattended during the import process.

         . Noted a problem that occurred when using a Novell NetWare 4.1
           network in combination with Windows 95.  Attempting to open a
           database with the "Novell" network type specified would result
           in a "Fileblock cannot be opened in net mode" error message.
           During the process of tracking down this problem the file/product
           "Microsoft Service For NetWare Directory Services" dated
           October 1995 was installed.  After this installation the error
           message reported above could not be reproduced.

         . Changed the wording of an error message that can occur if
           an attempt is made to open a database with a corrupt or missing
           index file.  Previously, the error message stated that the
           database was missing.  The new error message indicates that the
           file is either missing or corrupt.

         . Added initial support for batch imports.  Added an option
           to the Utilities menu called "Batch Import".  Added a Batch
           Import dialog box that display a list of available databases
           in the CompuSlave directory, along with the default import
           filename for each database.  Multiple databases can be selected
           from the list to be included in the import process.  When the
           Start button is selected, CompuSlave begins to open each database,
           import the selected text file, close the database, and continue with
           the next selected database.  As much as possible, message boxes
           will be disabled during this process, to attempt to prevent
           unnecessary user intervention.  (See new section in documentation
           and help file.)

         . Modified the default behavior of the CompuSlave Tips screen to
           display the tip after CompuSlave's main window has been displayed.

         . Added an option to the Help menu to allow users to access
           CompuSlave's Tips screen at any time during normal program
           operation.

         . Added a "CompuSlave Tip" screen that will be displayed on
           startup to give the user quick tips about special features and
           settings in CompuSlave For Windows.  This screen can be
           disabled by de-selecting the "Show Tips On Startup" check box.
           New tips will be added on a regular basis.

         . Added a sample database to the distribution package called
           SAMPLE.DAT.  (An index file, SAMPLE.IX, is also included.)  This
           will allow first-time users to see how CompuSlave works, without
           having to create a CompuServe capture file immediately.  (Also,
           the file IMPORT.TXT has been renamed to SAMPLE.TXT.)

         . Added STSI's CIS address (76300,3066) to the About box
           information.  (When contacting STSI via CIS, users should address
           correspondence to Craig Stevenson.)

         . Added an option to the Defaults screen to instruct CompuSlave
           to beep when the import process is complete.  The default is ON.

         . Removed the version stamp from the title bar of CompuSlave's
           main window.  Instead, the version can be viewed from the About
           box available from the Help menu.

         . Re-adjusted the default pop-up position of the Tool Palette to
           be placed directly above the memo field, but underneath the
           Keyword field.

         . Decreased the height of the Tool Palette title bar to consume
           less space.  (This required the removal of the close box on the
           upper left corner.)  Also changed the layout of the Tool Palette
           to have only 2 rows, but 11 columns of speed buttons.  Changed
           the position of the Date, Time, and Keyword fields to accomodate
           the new size of the Tool Palette.  Added the New Message, Edit
           Message, Delete Message, Save Message, Cancel Edit, and Hide
           Tool Palette buttons to the Tool Palette, based on user request.

         . Changed the title on the Tools pop-up window to "Tool Palette".


11-12-95 ■ Version 2.00

         . Updated the Setup program to exclude the installation of the
           Borland Database Engine, since this is no longer needed for
           the new database structure.  Also added an enhancement to warn
           users before a file will be overwritten in their \WINDOWS or
           \WINDOWS\SYSTEM sub-directories.  This will give the user
           more control over what files are installed, especially if
           duplicates exist.  Also added support for the Setup program to
           create a SETUP.LOG file in the destination directory.  This
           file will contain a list of all files that were successfully
           placed on the hard drive during the installation process.

         . Added support for users to double-click on the close box of a
           maximized MDI child window to trigger a close event.  (This
           overrides default Windows behavior that does NOT automatically
           close an MDI window when a double-click occurs on the close box
           of that window.  Internal Reference #444973)

         . Added code to create, read, and write an INI file for each
           individual database.  (If the database is named TEMP.DAT, the
           INI file will be named TEMP.INI.)  Initially, this INI file
           will maintain the version of the database, and the name of the
           last capture file that was imported into the database.  This
           will allow CompuSlave to "remember" capture file names between
           sessions.

         . Fixed a bug in previous versions of CompuSlave where multiple
           GPF's could occur after changing the font attributes of the memo
           field using the font dialog box.  If the database was then closed,
           and any database was opened again in the same session, CompuSlave
           would issue multiple GPF's.  The memory location for the font
           in the font dialog box was pointing to the global font setting
           for memo windows, due to a direct memory assignment.  If the
           database window was closed, this memory was freed, resulting in
           the global font being unavailable for additional databases.

         . Added path checking to make sure that a new database is created
           in the default CompuSlave directory, if no drive and/or path is
           specified in the Filename field of the New Database dialog box.

         . Added an option to the Defaults screen to delete the capture
           (import) file after the messages have been imported into the
           database.  The default for this option is OFF.

         . Added command line support to override the startup database
           file on the Defaults screen.  Also added support for stacking
           the names of multiple databases on the command line, to instruct
           CompuSlave to open more than 1 database when it is executed.

         . Added a floating Tool Palette to display the most used
           speed buttons (copied from the main tool bar).  Added an option
           to the Defaults screen for users to specify whether or not
           the Tool Palette should be displayed automatically when a
           database is opened.  Added options to the Views tab and Views
           menu to Show or Hide the Tool Palette.

         . Changed the font on all of the dialog boxes from Arial to
           MS Sans Serif, which is easier to read.

         . Added an option to the Defaults screen to automatically load
           the Startup Database File when CompuSlave is executed.  This
           box can be de-selected (unchecked) to disable the automatic
           startup file loading.

         . Added quick-key combinations for several often-used options,
           such as Ctrl+I for Import, Ctrl+F for Find, Ctrl+S for Search,
           etc.  Added the display of these quick keys to the corresponding
           menu options.

         . Added a Reorganize Database option to the Utilities menu to
           allow users to rebuild a CompuSlave database.  This is useful
           if the "Compress Message Data" option has been turned off, and
           you decide to enable compression.  Rebuilding the database will
           compress all messages, saving considerable hard drive space.
           This feature is also necessary if one or more messages should
           somehow become corrupt.  If corruption is found in the database,
           CompuSlave can ignore the corrupt messages during the
           reorganization process, thus deleting them from the resulting
           (newly rebuilt) database.

         . Added a Utilities sub-menu to the File menu and moved the
           Delete Database option onto this menu.

         . Added keyed field search options.  New options include searching
           for a text string or a range of text (starting and ending
           strings) at the beginning of any one of the seven keyed fields.

         . Added a status window for the rebuilding process, in case the
           database index file (.IX) should become corrupt or is missing.

         . Arranged the menu options and titles to emulate the tab names
           on the speed button toolbar.

         . Added commands to disable the editing buttons (New, Edit,
           Delete, Save, and Cancel Editing) in a temporary search results
           database.  Also disabled the Views options, since the search-
           word highlighting is only available in the Normal view.

         . Added commands to enable/disable selected buttons and menu
           options when the user selects the New or Edit Message options.
           (The user will not be able to browse, search, sort, etc., when
           they are editing a message.  All options that are disabled
           during the editing process are re-enabled when Save or Cancel
           Editing is selected.)

         . Added search text highlighting in searched databases.  If the
           Search String 1 or Search String 2 values appear in the edit
           fields or the message body, the text is highlighted.

         . Added Locate and Views menus to the main menu when editing a
           database.  Reorganized menu options according to category.
           Made sure that all speed button options were also available on
           the menu system.

         . Added an option to the Default screen to allow users to turn
           off the "Current Message" update counter on the Search Status
           screen.  When this option is turned off, the search can be
           completed 15% - 20% faster than if this value must be updated
           after every message.  The default is on.  Power users who need
           the speed will want to disable this option.

         . Implemented a new status screen, designed to display as much
           status information as possible, without slowing down the
           search process.

         . Added an option to the Defaults screen to view the log file,
           if one has been created.

         . Optimized the "Scanning Messages" dialog box that is displayed
           at the beginning of the import routine.  This dialog box displays
           the number of messages that are found in the import file,
           incrementing the number display for each message.

         . Removed code (in the uses clauses) that required the distribu-
           tion of the file BIVBX11.DLL.  Also removed all code that
           required use of the Borland Database Engine.

         . Verified that the display order in the Browse dialog box was
           changed accurately, depending on the current sorted field in
           the database.

         . Turned off sharing violation errors to allow CompuSlave users
           to open the same database on more than one workstation at a
           time.  (This requires that either the Novell or MS-Net network
           options be turned ON from the Network Options screen.)

         . Removed the filtering options, since this functionality is not
           easily added to the new database structure.  (This feature may
           be added back in at a later date, depending on user feedback.)

         . Disabled repetitive calls to the registration checking routine.
           Instead, set up a global variable that can be checked at a much
           more rapid rate, increasing speed for operations such as
           importing.

         . Added a check to detect if the import path is not valid when
           the import option is selected.  A message box instructs the user
           where to change the default import path.  If the import path
           does not exist, CompuSlave uses the current directory.

         . Added a status bar to the bottom of each database editing
           window.  The status bar display the name and path of the open
           database, the number of total records, and the search criteria
           (if the database is a search results database).  This infor-
           mation is updated each time a new record appears on the screen.

         . Added hot-keys to all Ok/Cancel button and linked field labels
           to editing controls on all dialog boxes.  Verified that the
           tab order was accurate on all dialog boxes.

         . Fixed a problem when attempting to close the application.  If
           a Find operation was being performed on a database, a message
           was displayed indicating that the user must cancel the find
           procedure before exiting.  However, CompuSlave continued the
           exiting procedure anyway.  CompuSlave now ceases the exit
           procedure if one of the database windows cannot be closed.

         . Removed the ability to size the Status dialog box that is used
           for searches and imports.  Removed the maximize/minimize buttons
           from this dialog box.

         . Added an import dialog box that warns users when a duplicate
           message number exists in the database.  The import dialog box
           allows users to add the new message anyway, skip the new message,
           add all duplicate messages, or skip all duplicate messages.

         . Added support to handle multiple responses to a message using
           the new database code.

         . Created tabs on the speed button display to allow users to
           access speed buttons according to their category.  There are so
           many options available within CompuSlave, that tabs are necessary
           to manage the display of these speed buttons.  Added an Edit
           tab for the New, Edit, and Delete buttons, and added a Print
           tab for the Print and Print Setup buttons.

         . Loaded all speed button icons into a resource file that is
           linked into the EXE file.  These icons are loaded directly from
           the resource file when the speed button display is loaded or
           updated.

         . Added an option for users to display the speed buttons using
           Text and Picture together (default), Picture Only, Text Only,
           or no speed buttons.  If users are in need of more screen space
           for viewing messages, they can have the option of making the
           buttons smaller, or not using them at all.  In addition,
           beginners will appreciate the text and pictures which appear
           on each of the speed buttons, making CompuSlave easier to
           understand.  This option may be modified from the Defaults
           dialog box.

         . Added support for CompuSlave to execute an external communications
           program (supplied by STSI).  This will allow users to easily
           capture messages from CompuServe, without having to purchase
           a separate communications package.

         . Changed the CompuSlave database code to allocate a new message
           record buffer for each open database.  (Since the database
           code was previously used in the DOS version, which has a non-MDI
           interface, a separate buffer for each database was not necessary
           prior to use in the Windows version.)

         . Added information to the GoTo dialog box to inform users that
           GoTo text must match, exactly, the contents of the field they
           are searching.

         . Added a "Temporary Database" designation to the title bar of
           a searched database.  This informs users that they are viewing
           the results of a search they performed on a separate database.

         . Added an option to save a temporary search results database.
           When a full-text search is performed, CompuSlave creates a
           temporary database containing the search results.  Before
           closing this search results database, CompuSlave prompts the
           user whether or not to save the database for future reference.
           The database can be saved in the same, or a different, directory,
           and it can be optionally renamed.

         . Changed the Print option to reflect format of the new database.

         . Added a "Find Previous" option to the Find dialog box.  This
           allows users to go to the previous occurrence of the specified
           text, as well as the next occurrence (which is the default).

         . Set up the Window Menu to display a list of the currently
           open databases.

         . Changed the Network Users control on the Register dialog to
           a numeric/spin control.

         . Added help buttons to most of the dialog boxes within CompuSlave.

         . Implemented the startup file option, so CompuSlave will auto-
           matically load the startup file specified on the Defaults screen
           when it is executed.

         . Changed the options on the Defaults dialog box.  Added options
           for an import path, startup file, and activity logging.
           Added Browse buttons to allow users to search for a particular
           import path and startup file.  Made sure that users could
           select an open database as the startup file without receiving
           a sharing violation error.

         . Moved the speed-button panel INSIDE each of the MDI child
           windows in CompuSlave.  This will allow easier processing of
           the events specific to each individual database.

         . Changed new databases to use ".dat" extensions, instead of the
           old ".db" extensions.  Updated various file dialog boxes to
           support this change.

         . After much deliberation, STSI decided to change the format of
           the CompuSlave For Windows databases to be compatible with
           the CompuSlave For DOS databases.  This is a MAJOR structural
           change, which required a complete rewrite of the database
           support within the program.

         . Increased the speed of importing capture files and CompuSlave
           For DOS database files.  There is approximately a 350% speed
           increase when importing, over previous versions of CompuSlave
           For Windows.  (The fields are no longer updated while the import
           is taking place, so users will not see changes taking place in
           the background while the import status screen is displayed.)


06-20-95 ■ Version 1.02

         . Fixed a potential problem where a GPF could occur if a user
           attempted to close a database while 1) it was being searched
           for the purpose of creating a new temporary search database,
           2) it was being created as a temporary search database, or
           3) it was importing messages from a capture file or a CompuSlave
           For DOS database.  Added a check to make sure that the database
           cannot be closed during the import process or the search process,
           until the import or search has been completed or cancelled
           by the user.

         . Fixed a problem where a GPF would occur when exiting CompuSlave
           if one or more editing windows were still open when the exit
           command was issued.  This occurred because Windows needed to
           "Process Messages" immediately after each child window was
           closed.

         . Fixed a problem where CompuSlave was not remembering the
           background color on the memo field(s) after exiting and
           re-executing CompuSlave.

         . Removed several of the dialog boxes from the auto-create list,
           such as the About box dialog, the New File dialog, the Defaults
           dialog, and the Register CompuSlave dialog.  This will reduce
           memory consumption and program overhead during CompuSlave's
           startup process.

         . Added a confirmation message to inform users that a database
           has been successfully deleted, or that one or more files could
           not be deleted after an attempt was made to delete a database
           from the File menu.

         . Modified the toolbar on the Browser to mimick the buttons
           displayed on the main (parent) window.  Removed the Import
           button from the Browser window, and added a Find button
           instead.

         . Added an option to pack an existing database, reducing its
           overall size.  Added a status window to let the user know
           that the database is being packed.

         . Fixed a problem where the Delete Database option on the
           File menu was not working properly.  The database was not
           being deleted.

         . Added an option to "Match Case" in the Find dialog box.

         . Added a "Find Text" speed button to allow users to find
           text in the message body.  This operation will find all
           occurrences of the user-specified text in the current message
           body, and then advance to the next record after all occurrences
           have been highlighted in the current message.  A message box
           is displayed when the end of the database is reached.

         . Fixed a problem where CompuSlave was not erasing a temporary
           (search) database if the user exited the program without
           double-clicking on the system menu of the window belonging to
           the searched database.

         . Changed the Responses form to look at the secondary DataSource
           and Table when finding multiple responses to the current
           message.

         . Created a second DataSource and Table for searching operations
           to prevent changing the current position in the main table.

         . Added commands to disable the original and response buttons
           if an original message or response message does not exist.

         . Added 3 notebook pages to manage the new views added to the
           editing window.

         . Added buttons to the toolbar for a "Message Only View" and
           "Normal View" setting (in addition to the Mini-Browser button
           previously displayed.  The Normal view provides the standard
           view, displaying all of the available message fields.  The
           Mini-Browser view displays a grid on the top half of the form,
           showing several records in a table format.  The Message Only
           view shows the entire message filling the window area.

         . Added support for the Setup program to add a Help File icon,
           and "Read Register.Doc" icon to CompuSlave's program group
           during the setup process.

         . Added the Cut, Copy, Paste, and Delete commands to the memo
           window's right-click popup menu.

         . Added an Edit menu with Cut, Copy, Paste, and Delete commands
           that will take effect for the editing and memo fields.


06-11-95 ■ Version 1.01

         . Fixed a compatibility problem with the Setup program running
           under Windows 95 (Final Beta), where the Setup program had
           determined that the Borland Database Engine Installation had
           been completed, even though it was still running.

         . Changed the border style of the status form from Dialog to
           Normal.  This will allow users to resize the status form and
           minimize it (or maximize it) within the program.  This should
           make it much easier for users to import or search a database
           and perform other non-related operations at the same time.

         . Fixed a problem where importing 500 messages would trip an
           error message that more than 500 messages could not be added
           to a database in the unregistered version of CompuSlave.  Since
           the import status screen is set to "Stay On Top" of all other
           forms in the program, the status screen would hide the error
           message, making it appear that the application was stopped or
           hung.  (Pressing Alt-F4 would close the modal dialog, and return
           control to the program.)  Changed behavior to automatically hide
           the status windows before display this (and other) modal message
           boxes.

         . Changed the size of the database message field that is stored
           in the database table.  Previous value of 240 is now reduced
           to 1.  Since most messages are longer than 240 characters,
           storing up to 240 characters in the database, (as well as the
           memo field) was redundant and space-consuming.  This can end up
           saving users megabytes of storage space, depending on the size
           of the database.  (A conversion utility from version 1.00 will
           be available in a future version.)


06-10-95 ■ Version 1.00

         . Initial release of CompuSlave For Windows.
           (Released with the Borland Database Engine v2.50)
