3) Change to 32 bit report engine.
Improved data collection and display procedure to support international data format.
Fixed problem which previously output garbage in report when project name starts with numbers.
Modified time string checking for different languages rather than English.
Solved crash problem when an invalid data was entered in input grids. The last valid data was
retrieved to replace the current invalid one.
Corrected label "LCG" shown in Resistance dialog box for planning ship which should be

Alvin Zhang
January 24, 1996
Improvements
- clearing a single column of data in input grid is available
- clearing report within the application is available
- project saved with an empty project-name can also be retrieved
- whole program is re-compiled and tested, and compatible with Windows 95, Windows
NT, and Windows 3.1
Resistance Module:
Pop up outside range message when selected speed range doesn't overlap the valid range for a
specific method.
Prompt user input LCG value measured from transom for planning type.
Check interval speed to ensure it is not too small comparing to the calculating speed range.
Deleted orphan subroutines and unused variables and controls. Removed duplicated codes.
Propeller/Propulsion Module:
Corrected codes to keep data unchanged in input grid when using imperial unit.
Fixed error in output routine to produce correct total resistance when average resistance method
is selected for propulsion calculation.
Debugged codes to ensure that unit is also copied when executing copy column command.

Remove temporary file created by the program after user exit the application or open a new
project.
Use LWL instead of Project name as control variable to retrieve project data from disk.
