   News in this Version 2.20:

        
    * Dynamically memory allocation for the records. THE most important
      change in this version. Now, you can work with 10 000 records with
      only 512 kos of Ram (Need 300 kos in reality, Not 512 kos ;-)
      Most of the code has been reprogrammed to allow this..
      A Database takes only the needed memory, not more.

    * New sort routine, VERY FAST (9 secs to sort 10 000 records on 030/50).

    * The field number has been increased from 30 to 255.

    * New function : The line style can be automatically generated :
                     - The full line in UpperCase/LowerCase/NoChange
                     - The First Word in UpperCase/LowerCase/NoChange
                     - The First Character in UpperCase/LowerCase/NoChange
      Just test it and you will love it !! F-Base is the first database manager
      to allow this :-)

    * A new tool is now included in this package : XBC (X-Base Converter). It allow
      you to convert some extra database format into the F-Base format.
      Supported formats are for now:
        - BBase 3
        - Final Data 3 (Softwood)
        - InfoFile (MiAmiga II)
        - F-Base Vx.x

    * New search routine. Utra fast now ;-)

    * Save format modified. smaller. You need to use XBC to convert your old
      F-Base file into this new format

    * F-BPrefs has been totally reprogrammed. Just for fun. Result : Smaller (-22 kos),
      Faster, and better. It use the screen font instead of the old topaz 8 font, it
      remember your last choice for the Fonts and The Screen (ASL Requester) and use
      the standard error window output to display errors (easyrequesters supported by
      ARQ ;-)

    * Some bugs fixed now...

    * Many optimizations !




           HAVE FUN with F-Base !!
