INTRODUCTION:
This file contains notes and corrections that occured too late to put into
the COINFIL.DOC file and the printed documentations. It also contains a
history of the changes made with each version of the program.
UPGRADING FROM AN EARLIER VERSION:
If you have an old version of CoINFil, you should replace all files except
.DAT and .CTL files with new versions. Then regenerate the .HST files by
selecting 'Run Back Test' from the backtest menu, with all enables turned
off.
VERSION HISTORY:
Version 1.0: July 92 Initial release.
Version 1.1: August 92
1. Added error checking to the .DAT input routines. The program now
checks for price data that is entered as floating point numbers
(COINFIL uses integer price data for speed), incomplete or
incorrect format lines, no .DAT files in the directory.
2. Added high/lo numbers on the graph screens
3. Added color/mono selection on the options menu. Note that this changed
the format of the .INI file.
4. Fixed a bug in the backtest routines that gave inconsistent results
when backtesting was done multiple times.
5. Fixed a bug in the add an investment routine that could corrupt the
dividend data.
Version 1.2: September 92
1. Fixed a bug in the graph routine that could cause a hang up when
plotting certain data ranges.
2. Added a label for the type of plot to the graph screen.
3. Added the n command to graphs to 'normalize' the y axis.
4. Changed the precision of the fourier output routines so yield could
be plotted accurately
5. Added a yield graph selection to the view menu
6. Modified the read .HST code so that the min samples value is computed
from the start date of the .HST file. This will reset the min samples
value entered in the options menu (important if your .HST files use
different values for min samples).
5. Improved the about selection
6. Added a merge selection to the files menu
8. Added a check to the read data routine to warn when the .DAT file
is over 400 entries.
Version 1.3: November 92
1. Fixed a minor bug in the graph routine. The help key definitions
now stay on the screen until the h key is pressed again
2. Added a change drive and directory item to the file menu
3. Improved the graphics type detector routine. It will now auto detect
CGA, EGA, VGA, and Hercules. All else defaults to text mode.
4. Fixed a bug in the file merge item that would cause a program abort.
5. Fixed a bug in the graph routine that would cause an overflow when
zooming. Changed zooming to zoom on 52 week intervals.
6. Added a Recommendations graph item to the Recommendations menu
7. Improved error checking to look for missing .INI, .CTL and .HST files.
8. Worked on reducing the number of Fourier recalcs that are done when
selecting different items.
9. Errors now generate a warning beep, which can be turned on and off.
10. Added lines to the predicted graph to show the high and low fit
parameters.
11. Added the NASDAQ 500 index to the indicator data file to represent
smaller stocks.
12. Fixed a bug that prevented the program from starting in a root
directory.
Version 1.4: January 93
1. Fixed a bug that prevented the minimum samples from being displayed
in the options menu.
2. Made changes to the fit analysis routine.
Version 1.5: January 93
1. Added an average yield notation on the yield graph.
2. Added a date / time stamp to the .out file every time the program is
run.
3. Fixed a bug in the graphics module that caused an illegal function call
if the last data point was the last day in the year.
