> Hi All,
> The new version of WinBMD is now available to download from

> Please download this file into a separate folder (DO NOT NOT NOT download

it

WinBMD

> It had been my intention to release this as version 2.1 and a number of

> release made it seem more sensible to jump to version 3.
>
> There are some 25 changes or bug fixes in this release and some of these
are
> significant - particularly for transcribers from Fiche or Film. Here is a
> complete list (not in any particular order) which I suggest everyone reads
> (especially number 25 for Fiche/Film).
>
> 1. Introduced the new scan viewer. It's worth downloading
> just to get this!!
> 2. Blank lines are now allowed in the District files and
> invalid lines no longer cause the program to crash.
>
> 3. Fixed bug where 2nd +PAGE was always invalid.
>
> 4. Changed forename box so that a tab when the box is
empty
> copies the field above rather than the 1st Picklist entry.
>
> 5. Fixed bug where a District/Volume entered as ",*"
> generated too many commas in output file.
>
> 6. Apostrophe added to characters allowed in Forename.
>
> 7. Forenames Male and Female no longer count as sequence
> errors.
>
> 8. Sequence checking now allows for special characters.
>
> 9. Introduced Fill-Up.
>
> 10. Fixed problem with right mouse button not working
> correctly.
>
> 11. Improved validation of Districts.
>
> 12. Fixed problem that didn't allow 9z format in the Page
field
>
> 13. Fixed problem that district format ",x" didn't match
> properly.
>
> 14. Fixed problem with Edit Header when Romans wrongly
changed
> to Arabic.
>
> 15. Program now remembers the scan zoom factor and the size
of
> the scan view window.
>
> 16. Removed Fiche/Film Menu and Scan-Start New Batch, Added
> File>New Page.
>
> 17. Tab in an empty Surname now ignores previous lines that
are
> Comments or +PAGE when copying the preceding name.
>
> 18. () now allowed in forename.
>
> 19. Fixed problem where ending the program while the scan
view
> was minimized would cause incorrect sizes to be remembered for the
scanview
> which could cause a later crash.
>
> 20. Default is now to not show auto-complete text.
>
> 21. Changed the way Save reminders are generated - this fixes
a
> crash in Windows NT.
>
> 22. Changed AaD to allow yy-yy (a year range) and/or a
trailing
> "m".
>
> 23. Fixed problem where a Tab in an empty Aad copied the
> surname.
>
> 24. (Hopefully!) fixed problem where 2 messages could appear
at
> once (eg New Forename + 10 minute warning) which caused the program to
> crash.
>
> 25. For Fiche/Film the value you type in the Header Form "PAGE"
field
> is now entered both in the first +PAGE line and in the filename. The
Header
> Form field "Batch" is now ONLY used if/when generating SpeedBMD format
> filenames. The Header Form field "Fiche/Film Number" is now NEVER used
> (although something needs to be entered in it) and will be removed in the
> next version (sorry - there was too much to do to get it done in this
> version).

I
