PVRQ Version 1.33 - Release Notes                                   June, 2001
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A) Printing Enhancements

A.1 - Changed the print screen to not allow printing to the ProvideX Viewer if
      the report width is more than 245 columns.  The Viewer was reporting an
      error on wide reports and dropping to a Basic prompt.

A.2 - Added an option to force PVRQ to print the report headings and a zero
      total when nothing otherwise would print (such as when no data matches
      the filter criteria).  This option may be turned on by setting the
      global variable %PVRQ_DOHEAD=1 prior to running PVRQ, or by setting it
      in a user-defined procedure.

A.3 - Enhanced the global variable %PVRQ_RUNPRINTER$ to allow for automatic
      printing to Excel or a delimited file.  %PVRQ_RUNPRINTER$ is used in
      conjuction with %PVRQ_RUNREPORT$ to automatically run a specific report
      (see the user guide article "Invoking PVRQ to Print a Single Report" for
      more information about this feature).  To automatically print to Excel
      or to a delimited file, set %PVRQ_RUNPRINTER$ prior to running PVRQ.

        To print to Excel set this variable to *EXCEL
        To print to a delimited file set it to *DELIMITED

      You may optionally append a semi-colon followed by the destination
      file name.  For example:

        *EXCEL;C:\MYDIR\REPORT.XLS
        *DELIMITED;C:\MYDIR\REPORT.TXT

      If you do not provide a destination file name, PVRQ will use the file
      name the report was last printed to, if available, or pvreport.xls or
      pvreport.txt.  When specifying the destination file name, be sure to
      include the full path.

A.4 - Added an option to the print screen "Read only this many records". This
      defaults to zero, which means read all records.  This option is intended
      to assist developers in testing their reports be eliminating the need to
      read through all the records in the files.  Note: this number of records
      test is applied before any filters are applied, so setting this to 100
      records will not necessarily report 100 records if some of those records
      do not meet the filter criteria.


B) Activation Changes

B.1 - Changed the system ID algorithm to correct problems experienced on Unix
      and Unix-like systems where the system ID was changing, causing the
      activation status to be lost.  The new algorithm is backwardly
      compatible with earlier releases so most users will not be affected by
      this change.  However, some users on Unix or Unix-like systems may at
      some point experience a system id change because it was originally
      computed using the old formula.  If this happens, the new system id
      will be based on the new algorithm and it will not change again. Contact
      your PVRQ distributor to obtain a new permenent key if this happens.

B.2 - Changed the configuration screen activation option to require the entry
      of the administrator password.  This was done to avoid potential
      problems where a user might enter something in the activation box and
      cause activation status to be lost.  The screen now displays a button
      labeled "Change Activation".  When this button is pressed the user is
      asked to enter the administrator password.  If they enter the correct
      password they will be allowed to enter the activation key.


C) Miscellaneous Changes

C.1 - When PVRQ is invoked to automatically print a specific report using the
      %PVRQ_RUNREPORT$ feature, the main PVRQ window will now be minimized.
      This change causes the report to start faster on most systems.  If you
      do not wish to have the window minimized, set the variable
      %PVRQ_NOMINIMIZE to 1 prior to running PVRQ, or set it in a start up
      user-defined procedure.

C.2 - Improved the spacing of words and controls on various screens to
      display better on PC's that are set to use large fonts.

C.3 - Corrected a problem where the report filter was not being checked when
      the report was autorun to a printer using %PVRQ_RUNPRINTER$.

C.4 - Changed the initial PVRQ screen to not be a "child" window, so PVRQ
      will appear on the Windows task bar.
