      REVISION HISTORY of BIBL/NET

4.71  Two bugs fixed.  If doing a boolean NOT search
      and you put no term in the FIND box but did
      specify something in the NOT box, screen
      displayed garbage characters.  BIBL/NET now
      exits if the FIND text is missing.

      Export KEYWORDS (with number of times each term occurs)
      was off by one on the final term in the list.  If you
      had a term appearing 8 times in the file, the listing
      showed 9.  Fixed.


4.70  Added name of Export directory to the
      NETWORK information screen.

      Improved reindexing speed.


4.67  Added name of database to the add
      screen (some users were forgetting
      which database was active).

4.66  IF YOU ARE USING AN EARLIER VERISON OF
      BIBL/NET, you must rebuild the index for
      each of your databases after loading this
      new copy of BIBLNET.EXE (see note below
      on titles that begin with a, an, the or
      other articles).

      New feature(s):

      Initial articles (a, an, the, el, la, or
      le) are not filed in the title index any
      longer.   Thus, if the title of your book
      is The Book of Computers it will be filed
      with the B's not the T's (where it used to
      go based on the T of The). When you search
      using the title index, you can still enter
      your query as 'The book of ...'. BIBL/NET
      drops the 'the' on your search statement
      before checking the index.

      You can now use the right mouse button
      instead of the ESCAPE key when doing
      data entry/editing (to signal you're
      done with adding/edits) if you wish.

      You can ask that a BIX file (export menu,
      option F) not be sorted if desired. If
      you're not using a database for bibliographic
      information, then sorting it by the
      author/title fields might not make sense.
      To stop the sort, put NOSORTBIX=Yes in
      the *.DBL file for that database.

      Fixes:

      Fixed problem some users encountered when
      creating a new network database if none
      existed when BIBLNET.EXE was activated (level
      5 users only).

4.65  (ADD RECORD FUNCTION) ability to resume
      editing the record you were working on
      when you first pressed ESCAPE to bring
      up the Yes [Save record]  No [Discard]
      prompt. Now you get a third option:
      Resume editing this record...

      This should please users who have filled
      out a complete record and pressed ESCAPE,
      then noticed an error. No longer do you
      have to file it and then retrieve it
      again for editing.

4.64  If you do not have sufficient rights to
      the server's directory where public
      databases are stored, you'll receive
      'database locked' messages. BIBL/NET
      now reminds the user to make sure that
      sufficient rights have been granted.

4.63  Changed date-based BIX export--now
      you can export records that fall
      within a range of dates. Previously,
      you could select a start date and
      all records on or after that date
      extracted.

4.62  BIBLSEC.DAT no longer shows up in the
      pick list when selecting a database
      to delete. BIBLNET now ignores *.DAT
      files that have been hidden when putting
      together the pick-list array...should
      have been doing that all along.

      Cleaned up onscreen text of database
      names during ASCII (BIX) import.

4.61  Added ability to override the automatic
      recognition of the NOVELL user name.  If you
      want to FORCE users to enter both their
      user name and password (that is, not rely
      on NOVELL's security), just create a file
      in the directory where BIBLNET.EXE resides
      called BIBLNET.CFG and BIBL/NET will ignore
      the bindery name for the user.

      You can create the file by using the COPY CON:
      command from the DOS prompt:

      Y:\>COPY CON: BIBLNET.CFG [press return]
      JustEnterAnyCharacter(s)Here [press F6]

      1 file copied.  (message back from DOS)


      Added a status blinker on the Export (Bibliography)
      function--to provide a little user feedback
      during sequential read searches (e.g.,
      full record search).

4.60  Ability to interrupt a full-text search by hitting
      space bar--instead of returning to search menu
      BIBL/NET displays matches retrieved up until the
      space bar was pressed.  Press RETURN to abort search
      without displaying interim matches...

4.54  Registered Netware version only.

      No longer have to enter a password...BIBL/NET
      assumes NETWARE security has protected the
      login...something we should have done a while
      back but never seemed to get around to.

      This will slightly speed up login but more
      important, it reduces by one the number of
      passwords your users have to remember--they'll
      thank you for it.


4.53  Added new export option: Date-Based Export

      This option (under the EXPORT sub-menu) allows
      you to copy to a BIX file all records that
      fall on or after a given date. BIBL/NET
      checks the date field, expecting to find
      dates in the default format 'ddMmmyy';
      that is, for example 12Nov93 or 01Jan92.
      You're prompted for a date when you select
      this function.  All records in the file
      are compared and if a given record has a
      date that is *equal to* or *later* than
      the date you entered at the prompt, a
      copy will be written to the BIX file.

      The BIX file is written to disk NOT in the
      order of date but in author/title order.
      We don't sort it by date since records can
      be anywhere in the database--remember if
      you delete a record, it gets reused when
      you next add a record...thus the record
      you enter today in a database of 10,000
      records might physically reside on disk
      as record 1...if you earlier deleted the
      first record in the file.

      If you want a special report, just import
      the BIX file into a new database and
      generate the report.  The DEFAULT name
      for the resulting BIX file is DATELIST.BIX
      (written to your 'personal' export directory).

4.52  Reduced the number of times BIBL/NET will retry
      a locked record/database - from 20 to 5.  After
      5 retries, you'll be given a message which
      will allow you to abort the attempt to get
      control of a record or database.

      You most often encounter a lock situation that
      goes beyond 5 retries when trying to access
      a database that a level 5 user has locked for
      index rebuilding or record importing.

4.51  Fixed problem where last record in BIBLSEC.DAT
      (the security database) wasn't being found
      by BIBLNET when it first started up.
      Previously, if user was in database but his was
      the last record in BIBLSEC.DAT, he was
      treated as a level 0 user.

      A few improvements made to BNETSEC (security
      database maintenance utility).

4.50  Combined deletion of a Database (*.DAT),
      BIX file (*.BIX) and Save File (QUERY.TXT)
      into one menu choice on the Maintenance
      menu.

      Shaved about 1K off BIBLNET's executable
      code size--by combining/optimizing a few
      routines

      Fixed problem with BNETSEC (you couldn't
      change a user's security level via the
      edit function). Also fixed the curious
      way it jumped into 'bright' video after
      completing an edit...

4.44  Updated documentation. A few other minor
      fixes throughout the program.

4.43  Another minor tweak.

4.42  Minor change...reindexing now about 1% faster.

4.41  Upgraded to BTree Filer release 5.41...improves
      some NETWARE calls and fixes problem with NOVELL
      shells 3.31 and 3.32.

4.40  Fixed bug in BIBLIOGRAPHY section when Annotated
      format was selected. BIBL/NET was failing to put
      a ' ' (space) between each line of text from the
      note field.  Last word in one line of note
      would run together with first word of next line.

4.39  Added ability to specify column-width for each
      column under the User-Selects Export Option...when
      format B (columnar output) is selected.


4.38  Descriptors were not being moved to the BIX file
      created under the boolean search function. Fixed.

      Transfer wasn't moving keywords or subject to
      transferred record (pressing T when record
      displays). Fixed.

4.37  Fixed another small (but irritating) bug.  If you
      deleted records from a file until there was only
      1 left, trying to delete that record would send
      BIBLNET into hyperspace...a technical term for
      endless loop.  Fixed.

      When running under Windows, if you select Clip
      you no longer get the 'CCopied' to clipboard
      message--we cleaned up the double 'C'!

4.36  Fixed bug in Bibliography export function. If you had
      records in the database that had no value in the author
      field, then those records weren't found when doing a
      search for information in *any* field. Fixed problem
      (it had to do with null values in the author/title
      index--which BIBL/NET uses as a window on the
      database in the bibliography function to approximate
      an author/title sort.

4.35  If running under Windows, BIBL/NET does
      not put index buffers in EMS -- even
      if EMS is available.

      A few more initialization report lines
      added.

      Turned off DATABASE creation option under
      bibliography for security levels 0, 1
      and 2.  Made no sense to create such a
      database since those users had no
      access to private databases under
      BIBLNET

      Few minor tweaks to security program
      BNETSEC.EXE

4.34  ASCII import (of BIX file) now allowed
      for level 4 users on network databases.

      If a database is empty, BIBL/NET now
      turns off the List, Search and Export
      options on the Main Menu -- since
      they're meaningless in that situation.

      A few onscreen cleanups--on global
      find & replace, there was a stray
      character on the right margin that
      wasn't getting cleared off (when
      a field was quite long).

      New initialization information displays.
      Start BIBLNET with an /X switch to
      pause this display (useful if you're
      trying to diagnose a problem with
      your system).

      New function under MAINTENANCE will
      list records that 'might' be duplicates
      in a given database.  Basically, if
      the first 14 characters of the author
      field and the first 6 of the title
      field are the same in two or
      more records, the 2nd occurrence
      will list out in the file DUPES.TXT
      (written to your export directory).
      This is not a precise means for finding
      duplicates but it certainly narrows
      down the amount of material you have
      to wade through in a large database.


4.33  Fixed bug where creating an export file
      under the USER-SELECTS option would crash
      system with Run-Time Error 200 (division
      by zero) if there were fewer than 10
      undeleted records in a database.

4.32  Deleted records no longer display in
      the database--actually, they never displayed
      but there was an 'empty record' message
      that appeared when one was encountered
      via the LIST option on the main menu.
      Now BIBL/NET skips over deleted records
      without any message being displayed.

4.31  Changed use of EMS for in-memory storage
      of index buffers. BIBL/NET now tests for
      at least 40K available EMS and if found
      uses it for index buffer storage--using
      only 4K of conventional memory for this
      task.  The result (for workstations with
      EMS) is a reduction (by 15K) of the amount
      of RAM needed to run the program.

4.30  Fixed problem with Location field index.
      BIBL/NET now handles the indexing correctly.
      You should rebuild indexes for all existing
      databases (under Maintenance) to correct
      your existing index.

      BIBL/NET now provides support for linking
      ASCII text files to individual records.
      Files may be of any length, but they *must*
      be plain ASCII files (for example, not
      a document created by WordPerfect--unless
      you save it as a DOS text file (CTRL-F5).

      A new function under Maintenance will assist
      in maintaining linked files.

      The print function (Pressing P when an
      individual record displays) will now allow
      you to print the linked file if desired.
      BIBL/NET checks to make sure the linked
      file is still on disk before asking
      to print it.  In the case of a very long linked
      file, BIBL/NET offers you the opportunity
      to cancel printing at any time.

      Several other minor tweaks, changes to
      displayed text, expanded information in
      a few prompts, etc.

4.21  Changed bibliography output option LABELLED
      to DATABASE. BIBL/NET now creates a new
      database of matches from a bibliography
      search if option D is selected.  Makes it
      pretty easy to use the formatting options
      offered by User-Selects under Export when
      doing a bibliography.

      Several export options removed (brief list
      of titles, authors, etc.). These options
      were superceded by the User-Selects option
      which offers columnar output.

      A few minor tweaks here & there.

4.20  Added columnar output as a format (option J
      - User Selects, format B) under Export menu.

      NETBIOS version introduced.

      Progress graph added to User-Selects export
      function.

4.10  Reworked some of the security features to both
      fix (and in some areas simply improve) functionality
      of BIBL/NET for level three users.  Some things were
      a bit inconsistent.

4.05  Fixed rare problem of workstation locking
      up during a full-record search when a
      short (1 character) search term was used.

4.04  Added code to filter out duplicate displays of
      records when doing a keyword search. Previously,
      if a record had more than one term (or stem)
      which matched your query, it would display
      more than once in the listing of matches.

4.03  Added ability to change database labels to the
      Shareware/Evaluation version of BIBL/NET.

4.02  Minor tweak to 25th line status display after importing
      BIX file. Now follows formats of other status line
      displays.

      Security level 2 users now blocked from accessing,
      creating, or deleting private databases. Before 4.02,
      they could access a private database if it was in their
      private directory.

4.01  Fixed problem where program would allow you to create
      a private database if your export directory was invalid.
      Now, if you have a sufficient security to create
      private databases, but your export directory is
      invalid (e.g., it's been erased or something) the
      program issues a warning message and aborts the
      database creation process.

      Added code to flush out key buffer during the
      initial startup of the program.  Seems that for
      level 3 or greater users, when an extra return
      was hit, the "Network / Private" database selection
      window was skipped over.

4.00  Enhancements:

      New index added (Location field).  The index is used to
      support the USER-SELECTS export option, providing a
      means of producing a list of records sorted by the
      location field.  The index is created using the 1st
      22 characters of the location field, with 4 characters
      of the author field included.  This yields a location
      sort, with author's sorted under location (to 4 characters).
      This concatenation was done to better supprot users
      who do not have a unique value in each record's
      location field.

      Note that when using a DBL file, you can rename the
      location field to something else and then produce
      sorted reports on this data.

      Fixes:

      BIX export now defaults to the active database name
      (instead of ALLRECS.BIX).  Previously this function
      would not accept a new name entered by the user. Now
      behaves as you'd expect.

      Switching to a private database and then back to a
      network database, the bottom status line was not
      always being updated.

      Location field searching wasn't working. Now fixed.
      BIBLNET does not use the location index for searching
      this field (since the indexed value only indexes the
      first 22 characters and also contains information from
      the first 4 characters of the author field).

3.21  Now BIBL/NET offers Windows 3.1 clipboard support.
      When running BIBL/NET under windows, the SAVE
      option (on LIST and SEARCH) changes to the CLIP
      option. Pressing C (or clicking on the word CLIP)
      will send the author, title, publisher and note
      field of the record displayed to the Windows
      clipboard.

3.20  Shaved 11K off the memory required at the workstation
      when running BIBL/NET.  Few other tweaks to the
      package.

3.11  Fixed problem where BIBL/NET was ignoring extension
      user requested on various export files. Program was
      creating a file without ANY extension.

3.10  Added ability to delete a BIX file from your private
      directory (under maintenance)

      Fixed problem with add function.  Previously, during the
      ADD function, if you left the note field, returned to the
      record, then returned to the note field before saving the
      record, the note you had been entering was lost (note field
      was being reinitialized).  Now you can go back & forth
      between the record & its note as much as you like before
      filing the record.

3.02  Further work cleaning up handling of default file names under
      export. Fixed problem with list of keywords used...was using
      the wrong index (author/title), hence export file contained
      garbage (auth/title index is compressed!).

3.01  Fixed problems with default file names.
      Fixed inability to create a BIX file under
       release 3.0 (yikes!)
      Fixed problem with import function.

3.00  New database structure. BIBL 8.0 and BIBL/NET 3.0
      now share same structure...databases may be moved
      freely between systems (although single-user and
      network version of BIBL use a different indexing
      algorithm). Rebuild your index when moving a
      *.DAT and *.IX file from one version of the
      program to another!

      Added mouse support to note field editing.

      Added ability to move cursor to a specific spot
      in a record by clicking twice on the spot...a
      big help for making subsequent edits.

      Additional RAM freed during Shell to DOS.  Will
      use XMS memory if available at the workstation.
      Previously, BIBL/NET would use EMS if found but
      could not manage XMS swapping.  Order now is
      EMS if available, if not, then XMS, if that's
      not found (or not in sufficient supply), the
      virtual memory (disk) is used.

      Expanded "white space" on data entry / edit
      screen. More room between fields...making it
      a bit easier to move about (particularly with
      a mouse).

      New internal file viewer added. This one can look
      at files of any size.  You probably won't have need
      for it, but this viewer also supports HEX viewing
      (just press ALT-H). Press F1 for help with commands
      when using the built-in viewer.

      Up to 1000 matches now possible (previously, the
      system would gather up to 800 matches before
      display). Due to memory savings realized elsewhere,
      we've increased this limit to 1000.

      Changed indexing structure and number of indexed
      fields...to improve performance and reduce disk
      space requirements. Now BIBL/NET maintains 4
      indexes instead of 5. Gone is the subject index.
      It wasn't used for much, and was taking 30+
      bytes per record.  Removing it will speed up
      redindexing, import, and global changes. While
      the index for the subject field has been
      removed, you can still search by subject. See
      BIBLNET.DOC for complete information on which
      fields are indexed.

      Improved support for renamed fields on search
      screen (popup window where query is entered).

2.82  Reduced stack requirement by a few
      thousand bytes...

2.81  Fixed bug with User-Selects option under
      Export. If you accepted the USERLIST.TXT
      default for your export file name, BIBL/NET
      bombed with a run-time error of 3...if
      you gave the file a name of your own
      choosing, everything was fine.  Fixed it.
      You can now accept the default name shown
      and it will be written to the user's
      export directory.

2.80  Added built-in wordprocessor for the note
      field.  Doing so caused rearranging the
      data entry/editing screen. You now have
      word-wrap within the note field editor!

      Added online help during data entry/editing
      process

      Bug fix. When editing a record that was part
      of a set of matches from a search, saving
      the record sometimes took you to a random
      spot within the set of matches once the
      changed record was filed.


2.73  Fixed bug under Boolean search with dumping
      results to disk. ALL records were going to
      disk, not just the matches.  Yes, technically
      speaking the function worked--that is, the
      matching records were written to disk--but
      the rest of the database wasn't supposed to
      go there too!

      Also fixed bug with the function that was
      writing the file to the server, not the
      user's export path.

2.72  minor tweak

2.71  Added ability to limit FULL SEARCH and BOOLEAN
      SEARCH to whole-word matches.  If you want to
      restrict a match to a whole word (text with a
      space on either end), then append a /w to your
      search term(s).

      Expanded possible matches on searches to 800
      (from 650).

      Changed action key on search menu for Keyword
      field from D to a K (reflecting the change in
      name from Descriptor to Keyword). Should have
      made this change with release 2.55!

      Reduced number of records per database from
      2 billion to 5 million.  This was done to
      enable BIBL/NET to store more in-memory keys
      during operation--since the btree is smaller
      (6 levels deep instead of 8).

2.70  Introduced CLONING during data entry.
      If you finish entering a new record and want to copy
      it to yet another new record (in instances where you
      have two to enter that differ only slightly), you can
      press C to Clone the data...then edit the changes in
      the new record.  This is similar to the "carry forward"
      feature in dBASE.

      A few other minor changes made to the program.

2.62  Changed name of help info from BIBL.HLP
      to BIBLNET.HLP.

      "Show close matches" function (activated
      when you don't get a match on an indexed
      search, reworked. Speed increased and
      disk accesses reduced.


2.61  Fixed a few quirks in User-Selects export
      option (particularly formats C and E).

      BIBL/NET now returns to the path where
      BIBLNET.EXE resides before exiting. Before,
      if a user was using a PRIVATE database,
      BIBL/NET would exit back to the private
      directory when the program was terminated.

      Verify keys/subject window reworked a bit.

2.60  Now User-Selects export option offers ability
      to select the order in which fields will
      appear in reports.  New option for output
      format (tabs between fields and a hard return
      after each record).

2.57  Under export, BIBL/NET now correctly limits user
      to entering just a file name for the export
      file it will create.  The Export Path defined
      in the User's security record will be added
      so that files are directed to that user's
      private area (either on the server or their
      local disk).

      New option added user export--User Defined.
      You can now say what fields to include in
      a report and sort on one of 3 fields (author,
      title or subject).  Option C will output
      each record on a single line (with a hard
      return between records). This should be
      very helpful for word processing.

2.56  Message appears as BIBL/NET is filing a record
      after an edit. After watching this process on
      a huge database (and a very slow network), we
      realized a status message would be helpful

2.55  BIBL/NET now rereads record from disk once "edit"
      option is selected. This was done to help user
      learn quickly whether or not a record was
      deleted between the time it was first displayed
      and then later selected for editing (pressing E
      when record was displayed).

      If a given field in a record is empty, the
      field label doesn't display.  This helps
      keep the screen from looking too busy on
      records where only a few fields are
      used.

      If file is locked when you select it from the
      DATABASE selection menu, you'll be returned
      to the selection menu instead of being dropped
      back to the DOS prompt.

      You can now change the display label for
      DESCRIPTOR field as well. Descriptor is now
      called Keywords, the default label is 'Keys:'

      Cleaned up support for field relabelling
      during global change function. BIBL/NET was
      reporting default field names, not the ones
      you might reassign. Everything worked fine
      but the onscreen information was confusing.

2.54  Added 'Automatic' switch to global find & replace.
      After reviewing a couple of changes (to insure that
      BIBL/NET is changing what you expected to be changed)
      you can press A for AUTOMATIC. The system will
      automatically make any remaining changes without
      pausing for your review.

      SHELL to DOS now frees up more memory.

      BIX file creation now goes to USER'S PRIVATE DIRECTORY
      under all conditions. You can not write it to the
      directory where BIBLNET.EXE resides.

2.53  Several fixes to BIBL/NET operations

      When attempting to access a locked file (reindexing
      underway, etc), BIBL/NET now returns you to the
      database selection menu -- rather than exiting to
      DOS with a message about trying later.

      Bibliography generation of Labelled format (creation
      of a BIX file) will now correctly write to the
      user's export directory. Previously, it was writing
      this file to the server directory. If the user didn't
      have creation rights, BIBL/NET bombed with a
      run-time error (#5, File access denied).

2.52  Reworked the way BIBL/NET displays records under
      indexed searching (author, title, subject and
      or descriptor). Now BIBL/NET collects all matches
      and displays them as a set. You can move freely
      about the set (by pressing F (forward), B (back)
      or J (jump to a particular record).  As a result
      of this implementation, BIBL/NET is limited to
      displaying the first 650 matches for a given
      search.

2.51  Fixed incomplete implementation of label changing
      via a DBL file. Now search menu and export menu
      reflect changes made in a DBL file.

2.50  Improved searching algorithm for non-indexed searches.

     Major reworking of PUBLISHER, LOCATION, FULL and
     BOOLEAN search function (all non-indexed searches).
     Gone are the klunky "End of File Reached" messages
     and the blinking 'wait' as BIBL searched...

     BIBL now runs through the entire database looking for
     matches before showing you any matching records.  By
     gathering all matches ahead of time, we've cut out the
     long delays that often accompanied moving back and
     forth between matches--BIBL no longer has to search
     for each additional match, but 'knows' where all the
     matching records are.  If your database has more than
     a couple hundred records, you'll immediately
     notice the improvement. Changing the search algorithm
     also enabled the addition of a JUMP command to these
     searches.  Once the set of matches has been
     collected, you can JUMP from one match to any other,
     if desired. Sequential movement through the matches
     (Forward & Backward) is still supported.

     Another improvement here is the ability to
     edit records that are a part of the matching
     set...without having BIBL return you to the
     search menu once the change has been filed!

     The one drawback to this new algorithm is that
     BIBL must limit your match set to no more than
     600 records.  If you conduct a search that
     results in more than 600 matches, only the
     first 600 will be shown. You'll receive a
     "match limit exceeded for this search"
     message...which indicates you should narrow
     your search.

     This limit was imposed to keep from imposing
     a serious RAM requirement on users who rely
     more on indexed retrieval.

     BIBL now requires approximately that 462K of
     RAM be free at the DOS prompt when BIBL
     loads.




2.44  Registered version only:

      If your workstation has at least 320K of EMS memory
      available, BIBL/NET will use it for in-memory
      storage of index buffers.  If you have a large
      database (1000+ records), using an EMS equipped
      workstation to rebuild the index will show
      very dramatic (100-200%) speed improvements.

      Registered and SHAREWARE:

      Improved handling of mouse. Double clicking on file names
      now works as you'd expect.

      Improved variety of video supported.

      Minor changes throughout the program.

      Added memory check during loading of BIBL/NET. If you
      don't have 63K of free RAM after the program loads
      then BIBL/NET will halt with an appropriate error
      message.

      If you workstation has EMS memory available, BIBL/NET
      will now use it for index storage, leaving more RAM
      free to the program.

2.43  Minor internal change to facilitate testing. If you're
      attached to a server, but not logged in, you can still
      run BIBL/NET on your local harddisk..and enter your
      user name. Previously (under 2.30 - 2.42) if you weren't
      logged into the net, you could only access the program
      in read-only (security level 0) mode.

      Improved support for label changes (didn't work exactly
      as advertised in 2.42).

2.42  Registered version:

      Added ability to change labels for fields in a database.

      Registered & Shareware:

      Added support for the VALUE field.

2.41  Verify function during add/edit now checks subject
      as well as descriptor.

2.40  Rebuild Index function will now purge deleted records
      if desired. Remember that if you'll soon be adding
      records, there's no need to purge deleted records
      (as BIBL/NET will reuse them before adding empty
      records to your database).

      BIBL/NET status bar display changed a bit. Easier to see
      if you're in a private or networked database from the
      status bar.

2.30 - BIBL/NET now picks up user name from NETWARE...so you
       only see the password screen if your NOVELL login name
       is in the BNETSEC database.  Simplifies sign-on for
       validated users and speeds things up for the
       general public (security level 0 users)

       Network information screen expanded.  Now reports
       Capture status and your Netware connection number
       along with a general redesign of the screen's layout

       Security level 0 users no longer receive unauthorized
       function when trying to edit/delete/transfer or
       save records.  Options are merely inactive.

2.20 - FIX to shareware version. Registered version not affected
2.10 - Major improvement in speed of reindexing.
2.01 - Minor fix in handling of private databases. BIBL/NET
       no longer hangs if user logs in and selects a private
       database that was stored on a local workstation but
       user is accessing system from another workstation
       that does not contain the private (export) directory
       recorded within the BIBL/NET security table.
2.00 - database structure changed to match single-user version
       of BIBL. Note field expanded to 10 lines. New Add/Edit
       data entry functions. Numerous tweaks to improve
       performance and clean up minor quirks in earlier
       releases. Descriptor field now supports 9 terms.
1.05 - fixed bug in index rebuild during a global change.
1.04 - fixed bibliography production so output will go to
       user's private directory.
1.03 - changed systemwide status bar. BIBL/NET now reports
       whether you're logged into a [P]rivate (personal)
       or [N]etwork (public) database.
1.02 - added capability for personal databases for security level
       3, 4 or 5 users.  Personal databases are stored in the
       drive/subdirectory the user points BIBL to via the
       User Export Directory variable in the security database.
       A few tweaks in other areas of the program. Added
       a few more installation instructions.
1.01 - Initial release.
