Thanks go to:
Bill Painter (Phoenix AZ U.S.A), for coming up with this evolutionary designed based on the eNPW5 kites that we were previously making.

Jean-Pierre Gleyzes (France), for the mathematics required for the initial bridling on this kite.

Larry Green (Kingsville ON Canada), for drawing such clear diagrams for various forms in the program.

Mello Lorier (Utrecht, Netherlands), for relentless beta testing and suggestions for improvements/additions to the program during its conversion from English only to multi-language support.

And a special thanks to all the folks that have translated language files, and those that will be doing so in the future.   Without you, this program would not have as broad an appeal.

- fixed problem when using the French(France) or French(Canada) "Regional and Language Settings" would result in run-time error 13.    For those using other settings please double-check that the BraidExpansionLoss slider and Extension Length slider give proper mathematical values.   
=================================================
2003-11-27
Release Date for Version 1.1.04
- it was pointed out that a few of the forms in the previous versions could be resized.  I have now locked all the forms to a fixed size.
=================================================
2003-11-17
Release Date for Version 1.1.03

- corrected spelling of lb. to lbs. in Getting Started form
- changed hardcoded file numbers for Input/Output to variable name.  The program will not select the file number, but instead allows Windows to choose an available file number.   This did not cause any problems - I did this to prevent any future conflicts.  
=================================================
2003-11-16
Release Date for Version 1.1.00
As is usually the case when you release a program, you either find a bug or want to add a feature within hours of its release.   Thankfully it was not a bug.
One of my translators requested that the Beaufort wind scale be added onto the Step 2 - Getting Started form.  I did not realize that this scale was still in wide spread use outside of the marine community.   Since I had to add this Beaufort wind scale I figured that I might as well add in Miles per Hour and Knots as well.   I figured I might as well prevent future requests for weight conversions so I added in weight conversions for pounds and stone as well.
=================================================
2003-11-15
Release Date for Version 1.0.00
I wrote this program over the summer of 2003.  The English only version was finalized 2003-09-05.  Many of the users of the program were located around the world and English was not their first language.  I investigatged making the program available to more peoples of the world by building into the program support for multiple languages.  I had kept contact with developers and early builders of this kite and contacted them to find out if they were willing to translate the English file.   Very quickly I had Dutch, Italian, German, French, Swedish, Polish, Spanish and Portuguese translators lined up.  
As of release date, only English, Portuguese, Dutch and Italian were complete.
