REVISION HISTORY

18 September 2003 Version 5.10
	New
	-Left shortcut bar panel width setting is now memorized.
	-Tools tree expansion settings are now memorized.
	-Results display borders are now all consistent.
	-If results area of tool is empty, the persistence file now is deleted.
	-Removed all Clear Results buttons and moved Clear Results function
	to right click menus.
	-Removed all Autosize buttons and moved Autosize Display Columns function
	to right click menus.
	-Removed Osirusoft from RBL check because they have ceased operations and
	added five-ten-sg.com in it's place.
	-Updated whois server list to include new IP mappings and Estonia whois
	server.
	-Database tests now save column widths between sessions.

	Fixes
	-All window autoscrolling as data comes in is now consistent and more
	smooth.
	-Changed paths to local html files to full paths rather than relative
	paths. This should improve comptibility with some third party browsers.
	-Checked for zero width columns on initial view creation and autosized
	if found.
	-We now add a default view if prior saved view is not recognized.
	-Fixed a problem where in rare cases if a NSLOOKUP DNS response came back
	that was too large for the program, a crash could occur.
	-Text background colors in Whois are now properly saved and retrieved.
	-Ident server thread is now properly terminated at program exit.

17 July 2003 Version 5.00
	New
	-Complete makeover and rewrite.
	-Automated section for gathering information automatically.
