NETWORKS...
AnnoPlan has been tested on an NT network - The AnnoPlan application can
be loaded on each of your Client computers, with the Roster.mdb file
containing your data, saved to a remote shared directory on your server.
Bear in mind, if you do this, that you must either purchase
a Site Licence or pay a single-user fee for each Client computer. 

UNINSTALLING...
Follow the button sequence... START...SETTINGS...CONTROL PANELS...
ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS and then look for the item Annoplan in the list
displayed. Select it and click on the Add/Remove button.
If you had created data-files when using AnnoPlan, then Windows will not
delete the AnnoPlan folder. You will need to do this manually, if you 
wish to completely get rid of it.


VERSION HISTORY...
Feb 2nd 1998...
Version 1.1 of AnnoPlan was first released and uploaded to ZDNet. 

April 17th 1998...
Version 2.2 of AnnoPlan added a ToolBar to what was already 
a very easy to use interface.

Oct 6th 1998...
This Version (2.3) differs from 2.2 in that...
1. The Tool Bar has been repositioned, to comply with normal interfaces.
2. The Function for Marking Public Holidays has been made easier to use.
3. A bug that could cause a Stack error during data entry, has been fixed.
4. Several other Minor bugs have been fixed.
5. The Program is now supplied as a Self-Extracting Zip File, instead of just a zip.
Note: Previous Data will still display exactly as before in this version.

April 3rd 1999...
Version 3.2 of AnnoPlan added the facility to Block Fill.
A Block of cells may now be Highlighted and...
Filled, Copied, Moved or Deleted.

May 22nd 1999...
Minor Upgrade (V3.3) of AnnoPlan improves the "Tools" function for 
"Adding" values in cells.
For instance... If these characters appear in a cell..."W$5.00 S$3.00" 
to represent 5 hours Worked and 3 hours Sick, then you may now use the
CONTAINS option to Add up all the values that appear after the Flag "S$"
in any defined date-range.
Before, you could only Add values that appeared at the BEGINNING of each 
cell - in this instance only the values prefixed by the "W$" Flag.      
This significantly increases the calculating power, by using different
flags in front of values that may need to be added across time. 
Apparently, this makes AnnoPlan great for Wage calculations.

August 4th 1999...
Minor Upgrade (V3.4)
Recompiled to use the latest (more secure) Jet database engine.
Rumours had it that the file ODBCJT32.DLL version 3.51 (which is also 
used by MSAccess in Office 97) could allow undetected hacking
- Now you will have the supposedly safe version 4 (which is used by 
Office 2000).

Also added a Message in the Setup program that informs the user of the 
need to have, or obtain the VBruntime files (vb500a.zip from...
http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll.html)
