Both BusinessCards and BusinessDialer are constantly updated and
improved. The following list contains update information since version
v1.00 of BusinessDialer:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.1:  NEW PUBLIC RELEASE TOGETHER WITH BUSINESSCARDS V3.1 - new setup
       program and updated help file.

v1.06: added name search feature; it lets you enter person's name
       instead of his/her phone number; the dialer then looks up speed
       dial pages and substitutes the name with appropriate phone number
       (if any).


v1.05: added 'Speaker' option in setup, which lets you control modem's
       speaker volume when dialing ("Off", "Low", "Medium" or "High").


v1.04: added 'Long distance prefix' and 'Current area code' options in
       setup; now the dialer skips area code if it matches the local
       one, it also adds long distance prefix, when necessary.


v1.03: allow semicolons in phone numbers (pause command for modem).


v1.02: added extensive reference database of country codes and USA local
       area codes. See 'Codes...' command in system menu.


v1.01: added missing keyboard functionality; now F1 invokes Help and
       Alt+D dials phone numbers.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
The following list contains update information since version
v2.2 of BusinessCards.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

v3.1:  NEW PUBLIC RELEASE TOGETHER WITH BUSINESSDIALER V1.1 - new setup
       program, updated help and text files.

v3.09: Added drag and drop support for non-english versions of Windows;
       fixed a small bug in 'About' dialog.


v3.08: Completely rewritten 'Goto' command. Now it's one of the most
       useful functions along with the 'Search' command. Just enter a
       string you want to find and 'Goto' finds it instantly.


v3.07: Added 'Always on top' option in in Options/Preferences/Display
       and system menu (for iconized window)


v3.06: NEW COOL FEATURE! Now you can drag and drop cards to your
       favourite word processor (sorry, english version only so far).
       Just click right mouse button (either in a card or in contents
       view), drag and drop it!


v3.05: fixed rare bug, when the program doesn't save its setting in
       BCARDS.INI. Increased number of toolbar buttons when main window
       is larger, than usual (see below). Improved phone number parsing.


v3.04: added new '+' command line parameter, which allows to increase
       main window size. Usage: BCARDS +NN, where 'NN' is any number
       from 0 to 50 and designates percentage of increase. For example:

            BCARDS +20

       creates main program window, which is 20% larger, that the
       default. The '+' parameter may be combined with '-' for read only
       file access. For example, command line:

            BCARDS +15 -SAMPLE.BCR

       loads SAMPLE.BCR file as "read only" and makes window size 15%
       larger, than the default. Useful for displays with large screen
       resolutions.


v3.03: fixed problem with CTRL+TAB key combination: now it allows to
       insert TAB character (if file is not "read only") and doesn't
       jump to next card.


v3.02: added "read only" flag in command line. When file is preceded by
       minus sign, it's opened as "read only". For example:

            BCARDS -SAMPLE.BCR

       loads the file and prevents any modifications. May be useful for
       some specific network applications.


v3.01: Changed default toolbar configuration to include 'Dial' button;
       added missing 'Merge', 'PrtSetup' and 'Dial' in Options/Toolbar;
       allow spaces and slash characters when parsing phone numbers
       (European "notation" such as 123/456-7690 or +44 123 456 7890)



v3.00: NEW RELEASE - FINALLY! MOST WANTED FEATURE, REQUESTED BY LOT OF
       USERS: BusinessDialer and an ability to dial phone numbers.


v2.27: added "Confirm card deletion" option in Preferences/General.


v2.26: fixed a bug, which crashed the program when one attempted to
       append/insert a new card after issuing File/New command with
       initial number of cards equal 0.


v2.25: always check file extension before saving the file. If there is
       no extension provided, add default .BCR extesnion.


v2.24: fixed a rare bug when you can't exit from Windows without closing
       BusinessCards first.


v2.23: added 3 new keystrokes: Ctrl/X for Cut, Ctrl/C for Copy and
       Ctrl/V for Paste.


v2.22: some internal changes and improvements (more compact and a little
       bit faster executable).


v2.21: fixed minor incompatibility with Adobe Type Manager (ATM).
