********************** * History of Changes * ********************** --- Version 2.3 --- To all register 2.x users. Your license is still valid for this version. To all Quicken5 users who setup IQ to start Quicken during an import, here are some tips to make IQ work flawless with this version. 1. Turn off the Quicken tips. The Quicken tips window is displayed whenever Quicken starts, and it will prevent IQ from importing quotes. You can turn it off by unchecking the 'Show Quicken Tips at Startup' box when the tip is displayed See pg. 21 in the Getting Started manual. 2. Turn Quick tabs off. With all the added features, Quicken is considerably slower. Using the Quick tabs screen format, Quicken takes a considerbly longer time to update its window during startup and cannot keep up with IQ commands. You can turn off Quick tabs by selecting Options from the Edit menu and then pressing the General button. Under the section Quick Tabs, set to 'Full-Window Mode'. See pg. 243 in User's Guide. <<<<<<< IQ Changes >>>>>>>>>> 1. Changes to the [IQHook] section of the iq.ini file to support Quicken5. The changes made are backwards compatible, i.e. IQ will work with both Quicken4 and Quicken5 with these changes. 2. Alternate date style option (dd/mm/yy). This feature is mainly being provided for Canadian and European customers who use this date style. If your version of Quicken has been configured to use this style (See date style under Options-> Register->Miscellaneous window), you should configure IQ accordingly. This will cause IQ to use this style of date on the converted quotes. 3. Save window position on exit. If you turn this feature on, IQ will save its window's size and position when it exit. When IQ starts up again it will go back (stick) to where it was when you last exit. This feature only saves the position and size of the parent window. It does not save the position and size of the quotes or import child windows. 4. <> parser set. This parser set prevents IQ from converting quotes. This parser set can be used with those services such as Prodigy and Reality that already provide quotes in the ASCII comma delimited format. This allows you to take advantage of IQ import facility without conversion. 5. Hot keys!!! When the import window is active you can use the following keys to perform the function as an alternative to using the mouse: I - to import quotes into Quicken S - to save quotes to a file C - to close the import window --- Version 2.2 --- 1. Fixed a stack overflow problem that caused IQ to crash. This problem has only surfaced when running IQ under Windows 95. --- Version 2.1 --- 1. Fixed problem found with fractional number parsing which resulted in incorrect prices during conversion. --- Version 2.0 ---- **** Completely new IQ **** New Features: 1. User interface makeover that provides a view of quotes before and after conversion. 2. DDE support for importing into spreadsheets. 3. Automatic conversion of quotes 4. Enhanced editor for creating parser sets. 5. Support for AOL quote formats. - Expansion of tab characters in quote file - Ability to parse fractional numbers "n x/y" - Ability to parse numbers with commas 6. Online Help Bug fixes from previous release: 1. Retrieve up to 8 characters for the symbol name instead of 9. Retrieving 9 characters would append the first digit of the volume to the symbol name for Compuserve quotes that had volumes >= 1 million. ----Version 1.5 ---- 1. Fixed a problem detected in the new DLL. ----Version 1.4 ---- 1. New iqhooks.dll to work with Quicken for Windows Version 4. This DLL is NOT backward compatible with earlier versions of Quicken for Windows, therefore 2 iqhooks.dll are now being supplied with IQ. iqhooks.dll - works with Quicken for Windows 4.0. iqhooks.old - works with earlier versions of Quicken for Windows. ************************* I M P O R T A N T ******************** *** *** If you are using Quicken for Windows Version 4, copy *** iqhooks.dll to your IQ directory. *** *** If you are using an earlier version of Quicken, i.e. 3.0 *** or earlier, copy iqhooks.old to your directory and rename *** it to iqhooks.dll *** *************************************************************** Registered users of IQ 1.0, IQ 1.1, 1.2 and IQ 1.3 should simply replace their old iqhooks.dll file with this new one to work with Quicken for Windows 4.0. 2. New address for registering in the order.txt file. ----Version 1.3 ---- 1. Enhanced iqhooks.dll. There were occassions found when Quicken 3 for Windows could not handle the speed at which IQ was feeding it input. When this occurred, Quicken displayed the the following message: "File not found or unreadable" and quotes were not imported. This version will wait until the Portfolio View window is completely open before sending Quicken the import keystrokes. Registered users of IQ 1.0, IQ 1.1, and IQ 1.2 should simply replace their old iqhooks.dll file with this new one. ----Version 1.2 ---- 1. New iqhooks.dll that is capable of importing quotes into Quicken 3 for Windows and is backward compatible with Quicken 2 for Windows.
