============================================================
Changes from version 2.5:
     -- Adds optional, fully configurable point-spread
        capablility. Pool operator can select among
	four ways for OPOOL to use the point spread and 
	can freely switch among them, ranging from 
	information only (spread printed on Pick and
	Tally Sheets but having no effect on winner) to
        Vegas-type favorite-must-beat-spread to win.
	Half-points fully supported.
     -- When displaying all players' picks on screen, can
	drag and drop a player's entries to another
	place on the list to compare his picks with
	those of another player.
     -- Fixed bug that prevented printout of Consensus
	picks unless "Show All Picks" had first been
	chosen on Enter Picks screen.
============================================================
Changes from version 2.0/2.0a:

     -- 1995 NFL team changes (LRM to STL, LRD to OAK, and the
        addition of CAR (Carolina) and JAX (Jacksonville))
	incorporated.

     -- Automatic conversion of your OPOOL/Win 2.0 players.dtw
        file to ver. 2.5/3.0 format, preserving pool names and
        player identification data.

     -- Ability to search (browse) other directories for
        players.dtw file, to save your players.dtw file to
 	another name or directory, and so the capability of
	running more than one football pool with different 
	participants.

     -- Keystroke navigation (Alt-Plus, Alt-Minus) for changing
	the current player on the enter-picks screen.

     -- A smoother-working OPICKS.EXE for automatically reading
	players' picks.
