New in version 1.14:

*************************************************************
***                                                       ***
***     All previous users must re-key all tables         ***
***                                                       ***
*************************************************************

Upgraded to the Paradox Engine 2.0, giving increased speed. However, all
tables will need to be re-keyed.  (This only needs to be done once.)

The Swedish QSL form has been graciously proofread and corrected by
Laszlo Breznovits.

Three new QSL forms have been added:

	French, Copyright 1992 Felice G. Marchesi and Marc Sauton.
	Hungarian, Copyright 1992 Lszl Breznovits.
	Italian, Copyright 1992 Felice G. Marchesi.

SWLog now detects OS/2 2.0 and is fully compatible with the DOS 5.0
emulation of OS/2 2.0.  If SWLog is run on an HPFS-formatted disk, there
is a dramatic improvement in disk speed.

Time Zone Note:

Short Wave Log needs the MS-DOS environment variable TZ to be set to your
local time zone.

	Time Zone		Set TZ to
	---------		---------
	EST			EST5
	EDT			EST5EDT
	CST			CST6
	CDT			CST6CDT
	MST			MST7
	MDT			MST7MDT
	PST			PST8
	PDT			PST8PDT
	GMT			GMT0

Upgrade information:

The simplest way to upgrade from an earlier version and keep all your
tables and indices in tact is as follows:

	Copy your entire "old" version directory to a temp directory.
	Extract the new version to your \SWLOG directory.
	Copy \OLDSWLOG\*.DB \SWLOG
	Copy \OLDSWLOG\*.PX \SWLOG
	Copy \OLDSWLOG\*.X?? \SWLOG
	Copy \OLDSWLOG\*.Y?? \SWLOG

This will replace the tables shipped with version 1.14 with your own.
However, you will still have to re-key the tables as version 1.14 uses a
new database engine.

Just to be sure, backup your tables (*.DB).  That way you can always
copy them to the \SWLOG directory and rekey if anything goes wrong.

System requirements:

Short Wave Log is a large program and requires a good deal of system
resources.  You should have at least 30 files and 20 buffers open.

If you are unfamiliar with files & buffers, grab your favorite DOS
manual and look up CONFIG.SYS.  To run Short Wave Log, you should
have the following lines in your CONFIG.SYS.

	files = 30
	buffers = 20
