     INTRODUCTION

         The information in this file is for the purposes of developing
         applications for 3.09.g1 and above.  These structures represent
         the preliminary structures for Telegard 3.10--while they have
         not been finalized, the structures should be close enough to the
         final release that only minor changes will need to be done.

         Before the final Telegard 3.10 release is made, the structures
         will be updated to reflect the changes made from the gamma 
         versions, and a TGDEV310 package will be released.

         Please refer to the file WHATSNEW.309 for a quick listing of all 
         known structural changes (i.e. what I've been able to document 
         since TGDEV 3.01 was released).  Please read DEVEL309.DOC for 
         information regarding some of these fields (esp. User Password 
         Encryption & bitplane scan records).

    C STRUCTURES (TELEGARD.H)     
         
         While I have not tested the C port (TELEGARD.H), I have run it 
         through the test cycle to ensure that the record sizes match those 
         as used with the Telegard Pascal (compiled) structures.

    RECORDED STRUCTURES
    
         I have included two simple programs (TESTH.C and TESTINC.PAS) 
         which list the record/structure sizes.  The output should match 
         the TEST.OUT file when compiled with your particular compiler.
        
     THAT'S ALL FOLKS . . .    
         
         So thanks again for all your patience.  Please understand that
         we will make all attempts to stick by these structures for 3.10,
         but that some changes from the gamma release 3.09.g1 to final
         release 3.10 may be required.
