Tinn-R 1.16.1.7 stable (05 Aug 2005) - LATEST
________________________________________________________________________________

  - Tinn-R version 1.16.1.6 beta was considered pre-released (restricted only to
    beta testers): thanks all testers.

  - The R highlighter was a little reworked: identifiers with the minus signal
    '-' (ex: codes-deprecated) will not be recognized, any more.

  - Tinn-R team has a new member working on the source code: welcome
    Huashan Chen.

  - Tinn-R project (source and bin) is now also available on SourceFORGE:
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/tinn-r. Thanks Huashan.

  - The incompatibility of Tinn-R with WinNT 4.0/SP6 has been solved.
    Thanks Uwe.

  - In 'R toolbar' the position of the buttons was a little changed for a more
    logical arrangement.

  - After installation, the 'Tinn-R/data' folder contains data.zip (102 KB).
    When starting Tinn-R, the files it contains are be automatically unpacked by
    and, for each user, four files are generated: dbRcard.dbf, dbRcard.dbt,
    dbRtip.dbf and dbRtip.dbt plus two (dbRcard.ndx and dbRtip.ndx) index files.
    This way, each user has an independent database.

  - Also, each user now has independents configurations files.

  - Considering the two topics above, Tinn-R is now multiuser.
    So, for instance, you can have an administrator account with full access to
    all files for installing programs and maintaining the machine. But for
    everyday work, you can log in as "main user" or "normal user"
    (with restricted access) and run Tinn-R without problems in those restricted
    environments. This feature is very useful to educational purposes in
    statistical laboratories.

  - Only three folder are generated by Tinn-R for each user:
    a) 'Drive:\Documents and settings\UserName\Application data\Tinn-R\ini\'
        with two files 'Tinn.ini and 'Shortcuts.tinn'.
    b) 'Drive:\Documents and settings\UserName\Application data\Tinn-R\data\'
        with six database files (see above).
    c) 'Drive:\Documents and settings\UserName\Application data\Tinn-R\temp'
        for essential temp files (will be automatically removed by Tinn-R
        after each session).

    For WinNT these folders are located in:
    a) 'Driver:\Winnt\Profiles\UserName\Application data\Tinn-R\ini'
    b) 'Driver:\Winnt\Profiles\UserName\Application data\Tinn-R\data'
    c) 'Driver:\Winnt\Profiles\UserName\Application data\Tinn-R\temp'

  - The database component (TDBF) was updated to the latest version.

  - Menu 'Tools' was reworked a little and new options were added
    to backup/restore your personal database and configuration files.
