User's README for Name version 0.7
copyright 2001 by Nathan Wilson

Welcome to the Name Management Engine.

This package is the November 2001 release of the user version of Name.  There is
also a developer's version that includes the sources and other files needed to build
the package.  The program currently only runs under MacOS pre OS X on the PowerPC
chip.  The user's version includes the executable and the standard Fungi database.

Included with this file should be the following files:

Name                       - Program
Fungi Database             - Database of fungal names
License                    - Copy of the GNU Public License
Doc:                       - Documentation folder
  doc.html                 - User manual and overall design information

Examples:                  - Examples in ASCII Extension Format.  These are intended
                             as examples and should not be added to the Fungi Database
  Armillaria1.ext          - Some species in the genus Armillaria
  Armillaria2.ext          - Load after Armillaria1.ext to rename the species to
                             a previous concept of Armillaria
  Armillaria3.ext          - Load after Armillaria2.ext to rename the species back
                             to the current concept of Armillaria
  higher-taxa.ext          - File used to add the higher taxa currently in the
                             database.
  Lepiota1.ext             - Some species and genera in Lepiota sensu lato
  Lepiota2.ext             - Load after Lepiota1.ext to put all the species back into
                             Lepiota
  Lepiota3.ext             - Load after Lepiota2.ext to put all the species back in
                             the appropriate segregate genera


What's new in this version:

0.7:
Supports common names both in the interface and through the ASCII Extension Format.
Common Names are generalized so it should be fairly straight forward to add names in other languages
(as long as you stick to ASCII characters).
Interface lists can now be optionally restricted to accepted names only.
New report which describes the database as a whole.
Common names added from Mushrooms Demystified, 2nd Ed.
Some more scientific names added.

0.6:
Now reads the ASCII Extension Format which allows for easy addition of new names and
renaming of old names.
Now has database reports that describe a particular taxon, lists any orphaned names
and lists any names whose accepted parent is more than one level away.
The database has been extended to include many of the higher level taxa for the genera
in old database.  This process is not yet complete and I'm hoping that others will
volunteer to do this work.

0.5:
Populates the list to the right if only a single item is selected in a panel.
Warns the user if multiple names are added and gives them a chance to review the list.
Gives the user a chance to review name changes.
Warns the user if they are closing a list window with unsaved changes.

0.4:
Fixed bug that crashes the program when adding longer names.

0.3:
First public release
