Initial setting of Abroad! (2000.8.1)

Abroad! considers the user's country info, which
user has set in the standard Prefs application.
The Palm OS 2.0-3.3 and 3.5 support 24 and 33 
countries, respectively. The initial settings of 
Abroad! for each country are as follows:

(1) Default world map is set according to this list.
(2) Home currency is set to your currency, appears
in the first item in the list, and the rates are
standardized to your currency.
(3) Capital city in your country will be set as home 
country and appears in the first item in world clock.

These settings are valid in the Palm OS 2.0 or later,
as these informations are not available in Palm 1000 or
Palm 5000.

In the Currency Code List setting view, I used
"1 USD = n Unit" mode. This is because, (1) most currency
information homepages prepare currency code in this
format and (2) rates of some currencies are fixed to
USD. In addition, I have a dream that someone (or
companies) provide updated currency rate via net
and PlamVII can download it wireless way. The world
wide currency rates will be updated automatically.
For this purpose, I want to fix the data format of
currency code list. If you want to be my partner to
provide currency rate on your homepage, please contact 
me (Please note that I am not familiar with network
nor PC based applications. I also almost forgot to 
write Mac application.)

In Abroad! 3.9 or before, the settings are optimized 
for users in US, which covered about 65 % of registered 
users. However, Abroad! 4.0 will support more than 95 % 
of registered users and diminish their efforts to build 
thier settings. From this version, I think Abroad! became 
a world wide application.

If you have not registered Abroad!, it takes several
seconds to optimize database to your country at every
startup as any settings are not saved until you register.
(Once you register Abroad!, NO additional fee is
required for the future updates.)
