Names Find By Date (NFBD) v2.0

Ever try to find something in the Newton Names app by date? If you have, you've
gotten an alert that tells you that Names doesn't support find by date. Well,
NFBD puts an end to that nonsense.

NFBD is an auto-part that adds code to the Names app that allows it to support
the 'Look for dates before' and 'Look for dates after', and on Newton 2.0 "Look
for dates on" requests in the find dialog. If you remove NFBD, or the card it is
on, it will remove the added code leaving the Names app as it was.

NOTE: When NFBD is installed, it checks for the presence of cards with no
modification date, and adds one if necessary.

NFBD is freeware, and is compatible with both Newton 1.x and 2.0 systems.

Enjoy!

Version history:

v1.0 7/21/95
Initial release

v1.01 7/26/95
Fixed -48210 error when NFBD runs into Names demo cards. These cards don't have a
_modTime slot, and thus can't be searched by date. NFBD add a _modTime slot to
the demo cards, and puts the current time into that slot. (Thanks Eric!)

v1.02 8/1/95
Fix for -48210 error extended to all entries in card soup.  When NFBD is
installed, it checks all cards for a _modTime slot, and if not found, adds one
with the current time.  This scan can take some time (about 30 seconds for a card
soup with 1000 entries).

v2.0 12/8/95
Added support for Newton 2.0 "dates on" find feature.
