KNOWN PROBLEMS

Installation
------------
Beta-Testers of version 0.90 MUST reset their default COM port and
Debug Terminal COM port in the Preference settings.

All screens are fomatted for a system with the "small fonts" display
setting.  Some screens will not be usable under the "large fonts"
setting.  This problem will be fixed in a future version.

While the Debug Terminal is open, performing an Identify function will
cause Debug Terminal's port to close, however, no indication is given
that this has happened.  Simply select "NONE" then reselect the desired
COM port from the COM Port drop down box on the Debug Terminal to reopen
the proper port.  This problem will be fixed in a future version.
