MPG for Palm History

Below you will find the history of changes in MPG for the Palm OS.

Fixed bug: Fatal Error when picking category in prefs for the PM post to category

Fixed bug: Fatal Error during installation
Conduit
- Fixed bug: multiple bugs in windows conduit fixed
- Changde: $/volume rounded to 3 decimal places
- Enhancement: added support for yyyy/mm/dd format of dates

Fixed bug: min mpg could be zero 0, don't allow
Fixed bug: $/gal popup was auto adding metric values and not current unit values
Enhancement: FuelEcon/Amount column setting is remembered on a per vehicle basis

Enhancement: Notes is larger for Vehicle Info
Enhancement: Access Vehicle Info or Service Alarms from the Tools Menu on the Register screen.

Fixed bug: posting transaction from MPG to PocketMoney causes FE
Fixed: When set up for L/100km, the result is only 3 digits, because 'L/100km=' takes already up most of the allocated space. Since my car uses 10+ litres/100km I only get to see 'L/100km=10,' ... would be nice to see 2 decimals (like 10,54). My suggestion would be to simply change the 'L/100km=' to something like 'lkm=' (to distinguish from mpg) or, more generic to 'con' or 'fcon' (for fuel consumption).

Fixed bug: Local currency is retreived using the country in the prefs which works. OmLocale... didn't work.
Fixed bug: Alarms that don't have a base entry will cause alarms of 35000 days overdue. Figure out the first record for the vehicle and use that as the start date
Fixed bug/Conduit-Windows: MPG.tdf.tdf is created as just MPG.tdf.

Fixed bug to displayed "Please Wait" upon opening MPG everytime.
Fixed bug: alarm opening up reporting large number of days now reports correct number of days

Memo field expanded from 80 to 600 characters.
Fixed a possible alarm startup bug
Tweaked Please Wait Dialogs to refresh correctly
The currency symbol ($,F,Y,...) is now set based on the system's local currency setting. This works on some Palm devices that have localization built into them.

Uploads all MPG transactions each time you sync. The conduit should be uninstalled when you are not uploading or downloading data to MPG. To uninstall the MPG conduit move it out of the conduit folder.
Checks the Units setting the in Vehicle Info screen to determine how to import the data. The default is US units. If you are importing transactions in another unit then you must create the vehicle in MPG first and set the Units for the type of vehicle (The vehicle name must match exactly what you are importing.).
