************************************
This is the FIRST update of ACE v2.0
************************************
 	  
Below is a list of all post-version-2.0 updates up to and including the 
current one.

+--------------+
|Update History|
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------+
|									|
|		File	   Changes		References		|
|		----	   -------		----------		|
|									|
| 24/1/94	db.lib	   Fixed val.c bug.	docs/history: 23 Jan	| 
|									|
|		AIDE							|
| 		AIDE.b	   Misc. improvements.	docs/history: 23-24 Jan	|
|						AIDE/AIDE.doc		|

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

ACE update archives contain two kinds of files:

	- Files in which bugs have been fixed or additions made.
	  These are listed under the "Files" column in the table.
	
	- Documentation: this README file, the latest history log
	  and if the modifications warrant it, the amended ace.doc, 
	  ref.doc or AIDE.doc. These are listed in the "References" 
	  column above. The history file shows the entry dates of
	  relevance.

The purpose of providing these updates is twofold:

	- So you don't have to wait until the next FULL release of ACE
	  to get fixes/improvements in ACE and AIDE.

	- To avoid massive file transfers for each little bug fix or
	  addition.

The number of updates between each major release of ACE will hopefully
be small, but will vary depending upon:

	- The seriousness of a bug which has been fixed.
	
	- The immediate usefulness of an improvement/addition.
	
	- The length of time between major releases of ACE.

Each successive update archive will include the changes from all previous 
updates. This means that you only need to get the very latest archive to 
have all the changes to the last major ACE release (v2.0 being the latest). 
In any case, updates will probably be limited to a few files (eg: db.lib, 
ACE, AIDE.b).

All linked-library and executable files which have changed will have their
internal version information modified. This information can be viewed with 
the following shell/CLI command:

	VERSION filename FULL

Simply extract the archive into your main ACE directory. All updated files
will be placed into the appropriate directories (eg: lib, bin, docs). 

See the details at the end of ace.doc if you need to contact me with any
comments or further bug reports.
