Capital Gainz Revision History
Revision 1.0:
* Initial release of Capital Gainz.
Revision 1.1:
* 'Backup' is now invoked via a function key on the Main Menu
instead of being a menu option.
* Entering a key corresponding to the initial character of a
menu selection now automatically invokes the associated
function. Previously, the menu selection was only
highlighted and the Enter key had to be hit to invoke the
function.
* 'Stock Split' is now invoked via a function key on the
Security Table instead of being an option on the Activity
Menu.
* Totals on the bottom of the Security Table are now
recalculated after executing a price change operation.
* 'Open Shares' has been added to the Security Lookup Table
called for symbol validation.
* Broker/investment company name changes and broker/investment
company deletions now propagate to all securities that
reference the broker. Previously, the broker name associated
with the securities was not affected by changes or deletions
in the broker table. Deletion of an entry in the broker
table clears the broker field in associated securities.
* Fixed a problem with transaction logging that caused Capital
Gainz to abort.
Revision 1.2 (Special release - limited distribution):
* Added Money Market Fund security type.
* Changed SHARES field of OPEN/CLOSE files from allowing up to
9,999.9999 shares to allow up to 999,999.9999. There was a
bug in previous versions that allowed the user to enter more
than the field could hold. This change requires a data file
upgrade from version 1.1.
Revision 2.0:
* Includes version 1.2 changes as listed. Requires data file
upgrade from version 1.1.

4KB.

description for vendors.

DISTRIBUTIONS, and PRICE CHANGE.
* Fixed bug in selling shares by ID, can now go back and
change amount to sell after entering a portion to sell
previously.
* Fixed 'value' on total screens and on reports for OPEN
shares so that commission is not subtracted.
* All menu selections - including menu fields - are
auto-select with a single key. (First letter in menu
choice.)

no open shares.
* Got rid of per share value on detail report for distribution
type of FEE.

symbol is displayed in message.

calculated during a sale to be up to several cents different
from entered amount.

2
* Fixed problem in Reports - if a report was sent to a file,
all subsequent reports had to be sent to a file as well.

involved in disposition are grouped together.
* Integrated upgrade utility into installation procedure.
Revision 2.2:
* Can group delete log entries by date range.
* Fixed INSTALL so you can't enter too long of a registration
number.
* Due to the addition of extra functions, some screens (such
as the Security Table) now have a More function key. This
key shows other available functions.
* INSTALL now checks if there is enough space on the
destination disk.
* Price/Date no longer required when add/change Security.
* Replaced single, latest Price in security with a price
history. You can add/change/update price history entries
from a table available from the Security Table function key.
The Price History Table flags highs and lows, and displays
distributions and average price. You can also print a Price
History report. See the user's manual for details.

drive letter followed by a ':'.

of being automatically translated into a valid name.

more information on dividend reinvestment plans. Added

screen depictions now use extended ASCII line drawing
characters.

* Changed SETTINGS to an ASCII file, SETTINGS.K01 no longer
exists (key file).
* You can now customize the screen colors through the Global
Settings form. Screens are divided by type (i.e., Security,
Broker, etc) and kind (i.e., Form, Table, etc). See the
user's manual for details.
* Fixed a bug where you could not change Sell Method even if
no shares were sold.
* Added 'Quit' to Main Menu, can no longer Escape to DOS.
* Date Range is now acceptable in any order - the later date

portfolio by amount per Security Type. Amounts are shown and
percentages calculated. See the user's manual for more
information.

Buy/Sell/Distribution Forms include a counter of records
added in the upper right hand corner.

displayed on the bottom 3 lines.
* Added Schedule B and D reports, similar to tax forms. After
accepting the desired year, the Dividend information on Part
II of Schedule B is printed, and the Capital Gains
information from Parts I, II, and III of Schedule D is
printed. See the user's manual for details.
* Added last buy/sell/distr dates to Security Lookup Table.
* Screens and reports now line up values in columns using the
decimal point.

* Menus items are numbered, and keying in the number
automatically selects the indicated item. After selecting an
item, a checkmark is placed to the left of the number.
* Fixed stock splits to modify per share amounts in
distributions records.
* Reports - Added lines per page to Settings - this sets the
lines per page for reports; added line draw chars to
Settings - this allows you to print dashes instead of line
drawing characters in your reports; reports no longer do
initial form feed, saving paper; can abort printing with the
ESCAPE key; added 'end-of-report' marker.
* The total return figure would be incorrect if there was a
stock split after the start of the date range, and the first
date within the range was in the closed shares log. The
price history file fixes this problem.
* Fixed a couple of inconsistencies in calculating gain/loss
percentages for reports. These inconsistencies were related
to the commissions involved.

better performance and less memory usage.

distribution logs. Can print summary report from security
summary screen.
