                During developement of version 2 of SCAN a bug crept in that
           may cause SCAN to lock up after the speech has been used for some
           time. This has been corrected, and an updated version is on this
           disk. Some minor additions have also been made, see below for 
           more details.



                          SCAN RELEASE 2.03                         12/21/91
                     

                     
Changes From The Manual:


Speed:     Scan will now run at over 2100 channels per minute at the fastest
           speed. 
                
Sorts:     SCAN requires at least 350K of free ram to sort the largest size 
           frequency files with full comments; the manual says 300K. The 
           AmigaDos "SORT" command needs to be in the C: directory (It 
           normally is unless you have deleted it)
               
Fonts:     The Diamond 12 font needs to be in the fonts: directory for the
           mode gadget text; it is supplied with WorkBench and is normally
           there unless you have deleted it.        
        
Keys:      The 'A' key has the same effect as clicking on the ADD gadget and
           the 'E' key is the same as clicking on the EDIT gadget. 
        
Printer:   Another menu item, Printer has been added. This allows each hit
           to be sent out to the default printer. Like most other settings
           the default printer status may be saved and loaded via the 
           configuration file. 


                          SCAN RELEASE 2.06                         1/24/92

           A bug which could cause lockups after extended speech corrected.
           
           A rare problem when running under WB1.3 fixed (caused occasional
           crashes on startup).
           
           Hangs caused by 3rd party window flipping programs corrected.

Volume:    The speech volume level is now adjustable, it may be set by
           manually changing the VOLUME setting in the configuration file. 
           Save the configuration from version 2.06 of SCAN and the VOLUME
           setting will appear in the .cfg file. (0 is off, 63 is the 
           maximum volume) 

Rate:      Similar to volume but for speech rate. (40 to 400)

Pitch:     Similar to volume but for speech pitch. (65 to 320)

Sex:       Similar to volume but for speech sex. (MALE or FEMALE)

UTC:       The universal time (Greenwich Mean Time) is now displayed below
           the local time. SCAN calculates this from a value TIMEDIFF in the 
           configuration file, and is the time difference in hours between
           GMT and your local time. Of course you will have to change the 
           TIMEDIFF depending on which part of the world you are in. The 
           default setting is for Oklahoma USA, i.e. Central Standard Time.


                          SCAN RELEASE 2.07                         2/05/92

           An "Instant Lockout" icon is now above the UP button, this allows
           you to lock out channels without having to pause and bring up the
           edit window.

Known Bugs:   none.      
        
        
        
        As always, any suggestions are always welcome
