*************************************
* Update and bug report information *
*************************************
30 Jan 98: Version 1.0g
         1) Some systems was haveing a problem with new story pages
            showing up as haveing been deleted when in actuality they
            were not.

         2) Change activation code routines to make them more efficient.

         3) When reading pages, users can now read the previous page if
            they desire without starting at page one.

27 July 97: Version 1.0f
         1) Fixed problem where user tries to read the last read page
            of a story and a blank page is shown.

23 July 97: Version 1.0e
         1) This was an MSG file change.  The profanity explanation
            was actually reversed.  Originally it was 0 as allow all
            profanity to 3, no profanity.  It should have been 0 = no
            profanity to 3 = Cover your eyes.

22 July 97: Version 1.0d
         1) Found and fixed problem in page reading area.  When user
            selected the "Read from beginning" option, if they exited
            before reading the newest page added the "Last page read"
            would be the page number upon exit of the area.  The intent
            is to keep track of the page number right before the newest
            unread page for the user.  IE: If there are 6 pages and the
            user read up to page 5, the last page read should be 5. This
            was so users could read the page prior to the new page to get
            a review on what the story is about.  Even though this worked
            correctly, it did not do what was intended and any page after
            the last page read was considered as new.

18 July 97: Version 1.0c
         1) Found and fixed a problem with the prfoanity checking.  When
            profanity level of the entered page text was higher than the
            story's profanity level, module wouldn't send out the message.

14 July 97: Version 1.0b

	 1) First official release of the module

         2) Made it to where all users see the story information in the story list.
            That way users can see the age range along with the key rewuired to read
            it.  It will still not show stories the user doesn't have access to but
            this way users will have an idea on what type of content the story has
            based on age limits. IE: range is 12 to 99, kids will be reading and
            profanity shouldn't be used, range 18 to 99, possible adult content.
            This also helps sysops in that if a user pts profanity in a story
            that is available to minors, the offending user doesn't have the
            "I didn't know the age limit!" excuse.

13 July 97: Version 1.0

	 1) Fixed it so master key holders and users with publisher's key
			can read first story in an un-approved story when trying to read
			it in the story selection area.

12 July 97: version 1.0[BETA 2]

	 1) Found bug where users could access un-approved stories by entering
	    it's umber in the selection area.  FIXED


7 July 97: version 1.0[BETA 1]

   1) Corrected problem that was causing catastro when user tried to save
      pages in a story.

   2) Corrected problem of story list not being complete.

	 3) If users have no stories available for them to read the can
      no longer get in to story list screen and view an empty list.

	 4) Sysops can now delete selected pages from the story with a new
      selection in the Publisher menu: (R)...Remove unwanted pages

   5) Added the current page number being read to the page display
      screen. Screen also now displays total pages written in the
      story.

   6) A problem showed it's face where after a user was done editing
      the story he was editing would no longer let users in.  I think
      I found what may have caused it but I'm not sure. If this problem
      shows it's ugly head again let me know ASAP.

   7) Changed DAT file size to allow for the page deletion function so
			when installing this you must reset the module by deleting the old
      dat files and story files.

6 July 97: version 1.0beta

This is the first official beta release of Neverending Stories.
