                             Version 1.03
                               12/30/90

     Changes made to Almanac in version 1.03 are listed at the
     end of this document.

     Complete documentation for Almanac is included in the file
     ALMANAC.WRI.  This file has been created for use within
     your Windows WRITE application.  It will be copied into
     your Almanac 'master' directory during installation.

     If you are running Windows 3.0 and would like to 'quick'
     start Almanac: (1) place all of the release files onto a
     floppy disk in drive A: (2) select 'Run...' from the
     'File' menu of Program Manager and (3) enter 'A:\ALMSETUP'
     in the edit box.

     Almanac MUST be installed using the provided installation
     utility, ALMSETUP.EXE.  Critical directory information is
     initialized in both your Windows environment and Almanac's
     default auto-load module (ALMANAC.ALM) by ALMSETUP.  Please
     refer to Chapter 2 of the ALMANAC.WRI file for more
     information on running ALMSETUP.

     The original release of this version of Almanac was created
     at Impact Software in a compressed file, ALM103.ZIP.  The
     Almanac files must be extracted from this compressed format
     using a file decompress utility such as PKUNZIP.  The release
     file was compressed using PKZIP version 1.10 and will produce
     authenticity verification messages if 'unzipped' with PKUNZIP
     version 1.10 (or higher), assuring you of an untampered,
     original release direct from Impact Software.

     Software distributors are authorized to duplicate and sell
     media containing this software, PROVIDED THAT ALL FILES
     CONTAINED IN THIS PACKAGE ARE INCLUDED WITHOUT ALTERATION
     and that the price of such sale is determined by and advertised
     as covering ONLY the cost of the software distribution.

     If you feel that you have obtained a copy of this software
     which has been distributed without compliance to the preceding
     paragraph, please contact Impact Software in Chino, California

               Updates included in version 1.03 of Almanac:

        -  Almanac is now compatible with third-party font scaling
           utilities such as Bitstream's FaceLift and Adobe Type
           Manager.  Screen and/or printer fonts provided by these
           packages can be independently selected using the 'Fonts...'
           dialog in the 'Preferences' menu (screen) and from the
           'Print...' dialog (printer) located in the 'File' menu.

        -  The selections on the Config menu now un-check properly
           when new auto-load modules are opened.  Moon Phases and
           Christian/Jewish holidays were remaining checked when
           they shouldn't have.

        -  Corrected a bug that caused the Notepad text (video display)
           to wrap incorrectly and the caret (text cursor) to be the
           wrong height when different fonts were selected for the
           notepad text.

        -  Removed '72' point font selection from scalable devices
           and replaced with a '16' point selection.  This was done
           to allow a better selection of more common font sizes.

        -  Fixed the painting of the main calendar graphics from
           improperly overlaying the status bar when the main window
           was sized small and the scroll bars were activated.

        -  Alarm check box reflects the proper state when re-calling
           a schedule appointment.  In 1.01 the check box improperly
           displayed the setting of the last appointment set.

        -  Alarm check box has been enhanced to show (On/Off) text
           which can be used (via keyboard Alt-O) to directly access
           the check box independently of the alarm time.

        -  The overlay event type for calculating the Nth 'day' of the
           month has been corrected for the 'last' day of the month
           (i.e., 'Last Monday') which was not computing properly.

        -  Notes connected to schedule items can now be completely
           deleted.  Version 1.01 would not re-save an empty notepad
           entry for scheduled items.

        -  The 'Data Paths...' selection will now properly change the
           overlay path.  Version 1.01 would not change the path if
           the current environment had no open overlays.

        -  The input focus now correctly moves to the Scheduler when
           the mouse is clicked on the 'General Notes' header bar.

        -  The Scheduler now properly scrolls 'floating' schedule text
           (Text on appointments which are partially hidden at the top
           of the scheduler display.  The text is 'floated' down the
           entry so that it stays visible, if possible).

        -  Corrected Almanac from hanging the system when attempting to
           initialize in the Jewish display mode.

        -  When making the very first note or schedule entry for a month
           it was possible to lose this entry if an alarm was set with
           the alarm clock immediately after making the entry.  This has
           been corrected.

        -  Version 1.01 used the letter 'D' on the overlay edit dialog
           to access both 'Date' and 'Shade'.  'Shade' has been changed
           to 'Background' because there weren't any unique letters left!
