--VERSION 2.9 b2--------------------------------------------------------------

2.9b2    FIX  Fixed what I believe to be source of some (the majority?) of the
              QIF import oddities -- not cleaning up record pointers, etc.
              after every import.
2.9b2    FIX  Cancelling a memorized recall would still prompt for split
              inclusion if splits were found.
2.9b2    FIX  New records added to transaction container no longer disappear
              below container window.
2.9b2    FIX  Memorized splits were being lost on reconciliation.
2.9b2    CHG  Widened date field in transaction dialog a little.
2.9b2    FIX  Calculator would generate error messages on close under Merlin
              and FP22. Fixed?
2.9b2    NEW  Added '/noscan' parameter to calendar so that it can be launched
              from ET's desktop folder.
2.9b2    FIX  Memorized records weren't being updated if any of their contents
              (except particulars/payee) were subsequently changed.
2.9b2    CHG  QIF importer now silently scans from top of file if EOF is
              reached before the desired section.
2.9b2    FIX  Recalling memorized splits would display actual records rather
              than copies.
2.9b2    NEW  Saving new or edited records from transaction dialog is now
              threaded.
2.9b2    CHG  Expanded allowable cheque ceiling from 32768 to 2147483648
2.9b2    NEW  Added cautionary message on 'Append' selection in QIF converter.
2.9b2    NEW  Added cheque number monitoring on a series basis. Series based
              on 1000 cheques, e.g. 1-999, 1000-1999, ... 999999001-
              999999999.  Although numbering has a ceiling in excess of 2
              million, monitoring wraps at 999999999 back to 1.
2.9b2    NEW  Invoking Settings notebook now displays miscellaneous page if
              called from an Account Book and if, from the Service Desk, an
              account is selected.
2.9b2    CHG  Invoking transaction dialog from Service Desk now returns focus
              to desk upon dismissal.
2.9b2    NEW  Next available cheque in a series (or in the following series)
              is now available in the 'Number' field and subject to line-
              completion, e.g. pressing '1' could expand the entry to 101.
              The '!' key to assign the next number remains.
2.9b2    FIX  Restore reported nothing on backup drive to restore.
2.9b2    CHG  The query dialog regarding adjusting a cheque number that does
              not correspond to the next in the series has been replaced by a
              monitoring system.
2.9b2    CHG  Changed 'Credit', 'Debit' descriptive text in trans. dialog to
              'Credit / Purch.', 'Debit / Pay' respectively as a visual
              reminder for credit card accounts.
2.9b2    CHG  Auto-recall of memorized records and line completion in
              Particulars/Payee field in transaction dialog disabled while
              editing an existing container record to avoid inadvertently
              overwriting data.
2.9b2    FIX  Budget actuals weren't being updated in every instance on every
              new or edited record containing a valid category.
2.9b2    CHG  Changed combination box in 'List' Settings notebook page to an
              entryfield and listbox to facilitate the changing of item names.
2.9b2    CHG  Cheque number prompt of memorized record recall moved to
              'Append' button click event from entryfield focus loss for
              smoother integration.
2.9b2    FIX  One instance of an error being raised when writing a new record
              during QIF import. Added a loop to increment (max 10) the key
              number on such an error and tidied up possible error in pool
              module. Fixed?
2.9b2    FIX  QIF converter was not reversing amounts on credit and liability
              accounts to conform with ET's method of handling such account
              transaction amounts.
2.9b2    FIX  Starting ET on a non-WPS system would fail silently (under
              FileBar) or with a violation (under PC2).
2.9b2    CHG  Added query dialog when closing the transaction dialog while
              there are still records in the container, to avoid inadvertent
              loss of unsaved data.
2.9b2    FIX  Account management notebook would behave erratically when closed
              using OD1.5's X close button. Fixed?
2.9b2    FIX  Updated postdated records were not updating the account's ending
              balance properly.
2.9b2    FIX  QIF Converter would end with violation if incorrect date format
              was selected and the month portion exceeded 12. Converter now
              ends gracefully on such an error.
2.9b2    FIX  Credit limits were being ignored by QIF Converter.
2.9b2    FIX  Reconciliation dialog was not observing system date order.

              confused the reconciliation tabulations.
2.9b2    NEW  Added budget report and graph to Service Desk.
2.9b2    NEW  Added express report to Account Book.


--VERSION 2.9 b3--------------------------------------------------------------

2.9b3    NEW  Added 'Void' and 'Restore' option to account book 'Records'
              menu.  Voided transactions are represented as dark-green,
              underscored entries in the account book.
2.9b3    NEW  Added Cheque Usage report to list cheques within a date range in
              reverse numerical order along with skipped/duplicate cheque
              reporting.
2.9b3    NEW  Added QIF exporter.
2.9b3    NEW  Added Search & Replace function.
2.9b3    NEW  Added Transaction Fees report to subtotal transaction codes /
              month and report on the estimated cost, based upon the
              parameters defined in the Settings notebook's Fees page.
2.9b3    NEW  Added Transaction report with subtotalling by week, 2 weeks,
              half-month, monthly, quarterly, yearly, category (family),
              category (single), class, and payee.
2.9b3    NEW  Added Unreconciled Records report to list transaction that have
              not been cleared for from the beginning of the database to a
              specified ending date.
2.9b3    FIX  Cleaned up the account book display (deleted items no longer
              have extra long or extraneous lines).
2.9b3    CHG  Moved budget report to report module.
2.9b3    CHG  Moved memorized recall options from popup menu to Records menu.
2.9b3    FIX  QIF converter no longer automatically creates records for links
              that could not be resolved; instead, these are logged to a
              window whose contents can be saved or printed. This has fixed
              the erroenous amounts/counts & odd import order behaviour.
2.9b3    CHG  Removed 'Date' recall option.
2.9b3    CHG  Reworked to calculator by incorporating the tape and display and
              exchanging the multiline entryfield for an owner-drawn listbox.
              Tape contents can be saved manually.  Negative calculations (-1
              + -2) now work. Colour scheme change for better readability.
2.9b3    CHG  Separated date & time status line fields, and added a 'Status'
              field to denote the status of the last selected item:
              uncleared, cleared, deleted, void, or postdated.
2.9b3    CHG  Transaction dialog's credit/debit column headings now reflect
              the type of account, e.g. Purchase/Payment (credit);
              Receive/Purchase (cash); etc.
2.9b3    FIX  Editing category names sometimes resulted in confused parent-
              child relationships.
2.9b3    FIX  Budget graph window's location was not being preserved after a
              move.
2.9b3    FIX  Clashing subcategory names (e.g. Auto:Fuel, Motorcycle:Fuel)
              would result in much end-user aggravation.
2.9b3    NEW  The '!' next-cheque hotkey has been made user-definable to any
              one-character alpha-numeric key (Misc Settings notebook page).
2.9b3    FIX  QIF import log file failed on card backup because the filename
              did not adhere to the 8.3 DOS rule.
2.9b3    FIX  The budget settings notebook page was inaccessible as a result
              of an over-sized button.
2.9b3    NEW  Completed net worth.
2.9b3    NEW  Completed updated version of cheque printer (print multiple
              cheques / page).
2.9b3    FIX  Entering a transaction amount less than 1 dollar, using the
              comma decimal separator incorrectly reported a non-zero value by
              transaction dialog.
2.9b3    FIX  Editing a cash <-> bank link (from cash) resulted in duplicate
              amounts in each account rather than an expected reversal.
2.9b3    NEW  Added print preview to all printing functions (except cheque
              printing)
2.9b3    NEW  Completed transaction fee module (Settings notebook)
2.9b3    CHG  Removed Express report in favour of Transaction Report.
