   HISTORY
-------------

- Versione 1.2 (July 2000)
  The game is now FREEWARE, that it
  means it's completely free.
  There's been a little improvement in
  the graphics, now the balls look with
  a 3D effect. Moreover, at the first
  execution of the program, it asks to
  chose the language (italian or
  english), one time you have saved the
  settings the program won't ask you
  no more.

- Version 1.1 (March 2000)
  Added three new kinds of billiard
  games: Goriziana, Carom and 3_Balls.
  The variant of "Goriziana" present in
  the previous versions is now called
  "Goriziana (Bar)", because it was not
  compliant to the official rules.
  The actual Goriziana instead uses the
  international rules.
  The colour of the balls has been
  changed to apply the official rules.
  In "Boccette" now the bumper shot
  doubles the score.
  The menus have been redesigned.

- Version 1.0b (April 1998)
  Added .pif file and icon, to add the
  program at windows Start menu.
  Info file in HTML format.

- Version 1.0 (October 1996)
  The first version of this game!
