		+	'''Date: November 19, 2010'''
		+	Product: Comet2010Install423.exe
		+
		+	Version: Comet16/32 2010 Build 423
		+
		+	Comet.exe
		+
		+	1. Comet.exe will now run the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Redistributable installation when required
		+	for full Comet clients.
		+
		+	Comet32:
		+
		+	1. Corrected a problem that could cause a crash if a printer (or other device) was open in a
		+	parent program and the LUN was reused for a file in the subprogram.
		+
		+	2. Corrected a problem with numeric editing which caused numbers to sometimes be truncated.
		+
		+	3. Corrected a problem that could have caused a crash when launching Comet32 automatically
		+	on 64-bit Windows systems.
		+
		+	CosW:
		+
		+	1. Corrected a problem that could have caused a crash if the CometAnywhere host domain name
		+	was longer than 15 characters. This problem was introduced in .420.
		+
		+	2. The location of CosW.ini file has changed (again!) It's now under the user's local folder
		+	rather than All Users so each user gets their own copy. Depending on which version of Windows
		+	you're running you'll find it here:
		+
		+	Prior to Vista look in
		+	Documents And Settings\%Username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Signature Systems
		+
		+	Beginning with Vista look in
		+	Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Signature Systems
		+
		+	--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
		+
		+	Changes in previous releases:
		+
		+	Build 422
		+
		+	1. Background partitions can now be ACTIVATEd. The X00 device is automatically open on LUN 0 for
		+	these partitions. (See item # 2 below for X00 enhancements.)
		+
		+	2. The X00 device can now do (CopyFile), (RenameFile), (EraseFile), (FindFirstFile), (FindNextFile),
		+	(FileStatus), (GetDirAlias), (SetDirAlias), (OpenClipboard), and (CloseClipboard). Previously these
		+	mnemonics could only be used with LUN 0 which excluded background partitions.
		+
		+	3. If a configured directory can't be accessed at startup you'll be notified through a messagebox and an error
		+	message will be posted in the Comet log.
		+
		+	4. The Msgbox IB function and statement can now be used in background partitions.
		+
		+	5. The delimiter used for .csv files can now be specified with the FILE (lun) DLM=char$ statement.
		+
		+	6. FILE (lun) NORMAL introduced to reset a file's access from CSV or XML back to normal.
		+
		+	7. Added new clipboard mnemonics (OpenClipboard), and (CloseClipboard). An error can occur if the clipboard
		+	is opened by another user and there is no good way to convey that in IB. Now you can use (OpenClipboard)
		+	first and test for that case and try again. The old method will still work but this is more reliable.
		+	Use of these mnemonics requires REL 10.08 or higher.
		+
		+	8. Added a new mnemonic (ClearBuffer) to clear the X00 buffer between writes. Use of this mnemonic requires
		+	REL 10.08 or higher.
		+
		+	9. CosC now detects 64-bit Windows and will launch Comet32 automatically.
		+
		+	Build 421
		+
		+	Comet.exe
		+
		+	1. Now launches the installer for VS 2008 redistributables if necessary. Also detects if no
		+	/PN and no .cfg files and will attempt to run SYSGEN from REL.
		+
		+	Comet32:
		+
		+	1. FSTAT now returns E11 if the file is not found and a directory was not specified.
		+
		+	2. Corrected a problem in the NUM function for Comet32 objects that wasn't returning an error
		+	if the last character in the string was invalid.
		+
		+	3. Corrected a problem in the STRING function for Comet16 objects that could have resulted
		+	in corruption of data in other variables.
		+
		+	4. Session colors specified in the configuration file are now used.
		+
		+	CosC
		+
		+	1. Faster connection to CometLib.
		+
