Know Your Aircraft 5.1 changes:
KYAW1-0.EXE v5.1000.0001 - 8/19/02:
MAJOR FIXES:
*Grayed out the "X" on the quizzing screen. In v5.0 when you would click on the "X" it would make the program disappear but still show up in memory so if you tried restarting KYA, then would get message that the program is already running. So only way out of KYA was Ctrl-Alt-Del the program.
MINOR CHANGES:
*Added a black line below the YES/NO/SEE ANSWER/EXIT buttons.
*Added a few comments in the GO TO Q/A #: goto box.
*Print Menu: Gave the unregistered mode of KYA the ability to print 5 questions answers.

KYAW1-0.EXE v5.1000.0002 (v5.1.2) 1/1/03
MAJOR FIXES:
Fixed the following items by taking the Search button's focus away after using:
*If the search feature was used, then for the rest of that quizzing session, should you try to edit a question and answer you cannot press enter to move a line of text down.
*If the search feature was used, then for the rest of that quizzing session, should you try to edit a question and answer the change may or may not be saved depending on what button you click on next.
*If the search feature was used, then for the rest of that quizzing session, should you mark a question for printing, or for weak, or for testmaker, the question may or may not be actually marked.
MINOR CHANGES:
*When clicking on YES, the question is automatically unmarked as weak.
*Noted on YES button that Q/A is unmarked as weak.
*Noted on NO button that Q/A is marked as weak.
*Resized the YES, NO, and SEE ANSWER buttons.
*When a Q/A is Marked as Weak: Q/A text is displayed in yellow and a textbox states, "This Q/A is Marked as Weak"
*Renamed "Mark as Weak" button to "Marked as Weak".

MAJOR FIXES:
In v5.1.2's quizzing screen, if you clicked on "INSERT Q/A" and added a question, then clicked on "Save and Resume Quizzing" the question and answer that you inserted would be added twice overwriting the question that preceeded the inserted question. v5.1.3 fixes this bug.

-Quizzing screen is the largest change visually. Too many changes for mention.
