Hi, and thanks for visiting!

Now works on Windows XP

The latest SeriousB download runs great on Windows XP, as well
as previous versions of Windows (Windows 95, 98, ME, SE, 2000).

* DRILL DOWN! Don't forget this great feature which has been
included for some time now. Click on any line containing data in most
reports and see the entire record in the original data-entry screen.
Edit or run any features from the drill-down window. This is a
blockbuster feature everyone can use right away! Already compatible
with nearly all reports listing data,

* Is your old installation still putting files in the root folder?
Select "Setup Options / Temporary Folder" to get them off the root
folder.

* New Reminder Windows. Try invoking reminder windows with <F7>
instead of <Alt>R and check out the new reminder window. Scrolls
backwards and can be sorted (see "New in version 4.1" in Help).

Version 4.1

Version 4.1 includes all features of previous versions including those
listed below. Note: Where you see "(keyword=xxx)" it means information
on the feature can be found by searching for the key word or phrase in
the SeriousB manual. Also, the manual is updated with flags for new
items, so that you can jump thru the new features by searching on the
double percent sign (%%).

Free plugins

You are invited to try out the plugins for printing, graphing,
broadcast emailing / faxing, default sounds, and internet file
transfers. The links for these plugins are on the download page.
If you download the latest SeriousB, you can read about these plugins
before downloading them. Read about SbwPrint and SbwChart in the
SeriousB window Help Contents. Read about SbwEmail, faxing, and
internet file transfers in the SeriousB manual (search on "SbwEmail"
or "Broadcast" or "Sbwinet"). There is no documentation required for
the sound files: Just install them, then turn on "Sound" in Setup
Options.
