APRS851 21 Sept 2001.  First new release in over a year!  
        * Adds PCsat telemetry using the LIST-PCSAT telemetry command
        * Eliminates the separate GPS and WX registrations.  GPS and WX
          will work always.

APRStk  The year of 2001 was spend adding all kinds of features to the 
        specialized versions of APRSdos known as APRStk and APRSdata.
        for satellite APRS operations.  See APRStk.txt and APRSdata.txt

APRS850 prelim  Fixed /C#/Custom...# display for Mic-E's

APRSNEW Mid Nov 2000  Reverted back to [GR##ID] format for MScatter
APRS848 27 Sept 2000 Added Parallel port I/O!  See I-O.TXT

APRS847 Early Sept 2000
   * Added GPS "trial" so that unregistered users can take it out for a spin
   * Fixd ZIPLAN so you cannot improperly select MASTER *and* ZIPLAN
   * Added D700 to TNC list
   * Added alt-SETUP-FORMATS-3rdPARTY. Coincidently, due to a weakness
     in IGate coding, this casues an IGate to ignore your packets.
     See OPT-OUT.TXT
    
APRStch.EXE  A special vesion of APRSdos that lets you use a mouse menu
        for many of the many APRS functions.  THis is for the CITADEL
        Touch Screen Truck displays being found surplus now...

APRS846 18 Jan 2000
   * APRSdos can now send STATIONS and OBJECTS for display on standalone
     TRACKER's GPS map displays.  Just select station on P-LIST and hit
     W for Waypoint.  APRSdos will then transmit out an NMEA Waypoint for
     that station when ever a new posit comes in.  If the GPS on the
     tracker is wired to the TNC receive data line, the GPS should
     display the station!  NOTE. Since APRSdos also displays WAYPOINTS,
     (for connection to the GPS port of a Kenwood data radio, this
     should be disabled or you will capture duplicate posits.  The
     alt-SETUP-MODES-WAYPOINTS or CONTROLS-FILTERS-WAYPOINTS commands
     will disable these duplicate captures.
   * OPS-FIND-# will now immediately "find" the originator of MSG #.
