Please note all of the look-up functions require
serial numbers without any letter prefix.

If you do not like the data, simply edit the doc
file for that manufacturer. It is the user's
responsibility to verify and update the data,
though the data should be reasonably accurate. Do
not rely on any information in this software to
guarantee the validity, or value of, a firearm.
This is merely a data engine to process any data
residing in the document file. The data is stored
in ascending order so some care must be exercised.
Each category MUST have a last year, delimited by
a serial number maximum value associated with it.
For example, a field XXXXX in length would list
the final year of production as having a serial
number of 99999. Look at GUN \ LOOKUP \ Win94.doc
as an example.

A (dangerous !) feature I have made available
is the ability for the user to interactively edit
the actual look-up text files, rather than just
read the data and return values. On the Lookup
menu, the last item is an Edit Mode Toggle. When
"û" is visible, the function simply opens the
text for editing purposes. The edit mode can
be toggled off by pressing on the Edit
mode field or simply pressing "E", the hot key
for the toggle. Remember, the edit mode is live
and care must be exercised during this process.
Should a faux pas occur, simply hit or F3
inside the editor - either will prevent the
file from being saved. See Edit Help for more
details.
