The previous release of QueryScan has a bug in the Soundex routine. As far as I can tell, it occurred as the result of my futzing with it a few months ago, trying to reduce the size of the code. I have recompiled the original code and included it in this release of QS. I am not sure to what extent the bogus routine was circulated. To check a previous version, convert the name Lloyd. If it comes up L300, it is correct, otherwise, it is not. The Soundex cross-reference to the 1990-1993 NQF Surname List *was* created with the correct version.
