Note: To upgrade from *ANY* version to *ANY* version of Lyrics, just run the
      program called UPDATE.EXE.  The program will detect the version you're
      currently running and upgrade from that version to the new version you
      are now installing. I suggest that you make a backup copy of the DATA\
      directory before upgrading.

       Bugs corrected:

         * When there was only 2 bands in a database and you try to delete
           one of those 2 bands, the system hang. (Actually not, but it was
           an infinite loop!!!)

         * Corrected some bugs with ANSI screens.


       Add-on features:

         * Lyrics now support French and English langage!!!
           (parameter /F to ask to user which langage he/she wants and /FA to
            to force French langage. By default, Lyrics run in English)

         * LZW compression added to database. Compress the database with more
           than 50% of original size!

                                month (the 1st of each month) and /MF will
                                force to run the maintenance)
