                                  =========

Although this software package may seem simplistic and straight forward,
it has taken me over two years to complete.  Obviously, this was not a
full time job.

I first decided to write this program while in college.  I would listen
to my scanner as I studied and commuted back and forth to classes.  Since
my trip to school was about an hour each way, I traveled through many cities,
and even through the Dallas-Fort Worth International airport.  I was 
constantly monitoring traffic and police conditions on my scanner, so that
I could avoid any delays.  As I would approach the airport, I would listen
to the planes landing.

I had frequencies written down on dozens of small pieces of paper in my car.
It didn't take long for me to realize their had to be a better way of
keeping track of all of these frequencies.

I initially used a word processor to create my frequency cards.  This
produced what I wanted, but did not allow for easy editing of my data.
The number of frequencies I was listening to was ever increasing.  I knew
there had to be a better system for keeping up with them all.

I began looking for a program to do what I wanted, but those I found didn't 
seem suited for a scanner.  They were too generic, not offering the features
I needed to get the most use from my scanner.  Plus, since I used my scanner
in the car and at air shows quite often, I wanted to be able to produce 
pocket-sized cards of my frequencies.  No other program would do that.

Thus, I decided to write my own.  Although I had been programming for almost
ten years, I had never written anything larger than 10-20 kilobytes.  I had 
no idea what I was getting myself into.

Through persistence and patience (especially from my wife) I have released
Version 1.0.

I trust that all bugs have been removed and that it works on every machine 
out there.  Please feel free to contact me should you have any problems,
questions or comments about TUNE-IN(tm).
