This file details some changes between CheckMate versions 1.02,
1.03, and 1.04.

-- V1.02 to V1.03

Two specific bugs have been fixed. First, checks may now be
printed in any selected pitch (version 1.02 was "stuck" in elite)
and second, a rare problem with date indexing was corrected. If
you notice any transactions out of date sequence, you should
REBUILD the data files using the REBUILD feature of version 1.03
(the REBUILD feature of 1.02 is not robust enough to correct the
problem).

New features include a more robust REBUILDing algorithm that
maximizes recovery of data in the event of system crashes or
"odd" circumstances, calculation and reporting of totals after
transaction reports, and date "memory" during transaction entry.
This means that CheckMate will default to the last date entered
instead of the DOS date while entering transactions. We have
also improved the searching algorithms (resulting in greater
speed).


-- V1.03 to V1.04


1 Nov 86

Three corrections have been made to version 1.03. First, the MATCH
criteria has been corrected so that transactions on the ENDING DATE
are included in the reports. Second, the REBUILDING algorithm has
been adjusted to correct the account balance following corruption to
the data file itself. Finally, a DOS file-handle error was fixed so
that changes made to the data files immediately after a REBUILD are
not lost.
