                 FundRaiser Basic Version 1.40  (09/01/95)



This file contains a list of changes and additions made to FundRaiser Basic
since it was first released in version 1.10:

1.40 09/01/95
-------------
1) Added Exporting - ability to export all or a portion of your list.
2) Added GIFTLIST() merge function: end of year listing of donations
3) Expanded the ability to turn Hint Lines and other automated help screens
   on/off through Customization Menu.
4) Removed the need to include parentheses after a merge function, unless 
   you're putting something inside the parentheses.  So, \\GIFTAMT\\ now
   works the same as \\GIFTAMT()\\.
5) Changed the non-registered version: returned the F4 calculator and the
   ability to change colors; printing is now disabled after the evaluation
   period has expired.
6) Printing: Names Listing - Choice F.  Now a choice to print 1 page/donor,
   or as much as will fit on a page
7) Printing, Exporting:  Sort Orders now include Amount Given, either for
   "This Year" or for All Time.  Makes it handy to list your big donors.
8) Deposit, Donation Report: You can now limit the report to contributions 
   with a particular Source code.
9) File Maintenance:  added automatic integrity checking of databases, and
   automatic correction of most problems.  The few that can be corrected
   by FundRaiser are detailed so you can handle it yourself.
10) Customization:  Recalculate Giving Totals was added.  If a database
    error is detected, you may be instructed by the program to run this. 
    Also, it won't hurt to run it whenever you suspect the totals are wrong.
11) Minor fixes/changes:
    - Names Screen search by Account Number did not work
    - Names Screen search - picklist for State and Category Code did not 
      work properly
    - Changed $0.00 contributions, so that they do not count as the "Last
      Gift" as displayed in the Names Screen
    - Names Listing #1 would double-space on some printers.

1.38 08/11/95
-------------
1) Added one-liner report #4 to the Names Listing.

1.37 07/06/95
-------------
1) Added ability to adjust mailing labels up/down, left/right

1.36 06/28/95
-------------
1) Fixed an obscure problem with the space bar that would sometimes
   delete characters.

1.35 05/02/95
-------------
1) Printing Criteria Bug:  If a gift source code AND a donor category code
   were both specified, then the donor category code was being ignored.  
2) Added a startup switch to enable use of operating systems other than
   DOS (like OS/2).  To use, start the program with "FRB D".  

1.34 04/06/95
-------------
1) Import: minor changes

1.33 03/14/95
-------------
1) Import: minor changes

1.32 03/08/95
-------------
1) Fixed bug: unable to exit a Help screen with F10 key

1.31 02/15/95
-------------
1) Fixed re-calculation of Current Year totals.
2) Added ability, in Customization Menu, to turn off automatic dupe checking
3) enabled ability to print a help screen by pressing F9 to exit.

1.30 01/31/95
-------------
NOTE:   This version now requires a FILES=22 (or greater) statement in your
      CONFIG.SYS file.  It previously required 21.  FRB will offer to take
      care of this for you.
        This version also modifies the file format of the MASTER database.
      This is done automatically for you when you first enter the Names
      Screen.  Please be aware that two copies of the MASTER database will
      temporary exist as the changes are being made.  This will require a 
      little extra hard disk space.  Unless your hard disk is extremely 
      full, this will not be a problem.
1) Added the Import section in which you can import existing mailing lists.
   dBase III and ASCII comma delimited files are supported.
2) Added Year-to-Date totals to the Names Screen, and added this field as a
   Report Criteria.  You define the YTD dates in the Customization section.
3) Added a Donation Report, which is virtually identical to the Deposit
   Report, but is based on the date of contribution rather than the date 
   of entry.
4) Fixed the Deposit Report, which was disregarding the ending date.
5) Added printer codes specific to the Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4 family.
6) Changed the default colors.
7) Introduced FRBMERGE as the first FundRaiser Basic Addon.  This program 
   lets two users of FundRaiser Basic merge their data together into one 
   list, checking for possible duplicates as it merges.  See ADDONS.DOC.

1.22 11/25/94
-------------
1) When printing appeal letter (Printing menu choice A), the wrong letter
   would be printed if you typed the letter code instead of selecting from 
   the pick list.
2) Steps were taken to make it impossible for FRB to assign a duplicate
   account number.  This had only been possible if names were imported
   using another program.

1.21 11/08/94
-------------
1) When printing labels (Printing menu choice B) with a laser/ink jet
   printer, labels were being printed with 7 lines per label instead of 6.

1.20 09/23/94
-------------
1) Added a new menu choice, List, to Names Screen and to Letters Screen.
2) Names Screen/ Add, Change a name/ Duplicate Checking: 
   - Changed the display of duplicate names.
   - Added duplicate checking of the address, based on delivery address,
     city, and state.
   - Corrected a rare condition in which FRB would erroneously report a 
     duplicate name.
3) Registration Menu: added "How to";  made minor changes elsewhere.

1.11 07/22/94
-------------
1) Printing/ Names Listings: corrected the heading, which was splitting 
   itself over too many lines.

1.10 06/10/94
-------------
1) Internationalized the program by offering multiple formats for phone 
   numbers and dates.
