0.31        -Initial release of FontBuilder. 6/02/95 1.1A

0.32        -Had to update the test for addresses within the data field,
             since the message section now runs from 008AXXXX to 008BXXXX.
             Also removed the test for the end address. 10/11/95 1.1C

0.33        -Extended the nlq_id array from 510 elements to 566. These
             modifications were made because we added the Latin 2
             character set. 11/27/95
            -Renamed the "OK" button to "Quit." 12/1/95
            -Removed the "Cancel" button, and added a button labeled
             "Save Settings" which saves to the .ini file. 12/1/95
            -Removed the "Msg Start Address" field, since the message
             section has a fixed address, and now the font S-record file
             lines are sorted by address. 12/15/95 3.0

1.0         -Reduced the nlq_id array from 566 to 535. These
             modifications were made because we added the Cyrillic
             set and removed the APL set.
            -Set compiler option which places all data items
             greater than 6000 into a new data segment. Fixes
             a stack overflow problem.
            -Added a test for solitary address bytes within the data
             field to the extract routine. 3/28/96 6.0

1.1         -Expanded the nlq_id array from 535 to 580. These
             modifications were made because we added the Greek
             character set.
            -Fixed a bug in which special characters caused
             the length field of the S-record to disappear
             during new message generation.
            -Moved to the new FontBuilder software design.
             Changes include:
                * a more object-oriented structure.
                * a new dialog box which allows the program to
                  work with Twinax/Coax and IPDS font files in
                  addition to Parallel/Serial.
                * interface improvements, with the addition of
                  a wait cursor and status messages. 6/19/97 8.4.6

1.2         -Changed fgen.c so that the header file equivalent to
             simfon.h is created (in the same directory as the .cdf
             file). This has been added so that those trying to
             add Arabic characters to the T6045 can view their
             changes in the simulator.
            -Also changed fntmsg.cpp so that the -MIPS flag is sent
             to the fgen2() routine. 11/26/97 8.5.13

1.3         -Fixed a bug in which the printer hung up after downloads.
             This bug was introduced in version 1.2 of FontBuilder.
             The -MIPS flag not only controls the final output of the
             program, but also how the fonts are read into the various
             buffers. 12/8/97 8.5.13

2.0         -Added support for T6215 printers, and 180 dpi constant
             density fonts. Other changes include:
                * file type checking before performing operations.
                * alternate download instructions for T6215 printers.
			-nlq_id array expanded to 593 in 8/98 for 1250,51,52 and 53.
			 Expanded again to 595 for addition of two variations of Phi
			 and Omega in Greek. 3/14/00 9.0C 1.1

2.1         -Updated FontBuilder and the printer code to work together
             again after a relocation of some code sections to the
             font ROM had caused problems.
                * the new message section base address is 008B0000 (was 008B6000).
                * the section following the messages starts at 008B7000
            -Fixed a bug in which selecting the T6045 printer type was
             ignored. 7/18/00 9.2 1.1

2.2         -Fixed a bug in which the section following messages (starting at
             008B7000) was not being copied over to the new font/message file.
            -Fixed a minor bug in which a msgs.txt file had to exist before
             a new font/message file could be generated. This is only true if
             we are not copying the old message portion. 3/30/01 9.2B 1.1
            -Updated the ppsi.1 file to work with latest firmware. 9/21/01 9.2C 2.1
