Version 1.3 contains two major new features:

• A toolbar has been added. The toolbar includes buttons that contain control description symbols. To insert a symbol on the control description sheet, simply click on the symbol of your choice and drag the symbol to the control description sheet. The toolbar can be customized so it contains the symbols you use most often.
• Multiple courses can be created from a master control sheet that contains all controls for an event. If a control on the master sheet is changed, all affected courses are updated. This capability is particularly important when multiple courses share the same control.
• In addition to the major features numerous other smaller features were added and several errors were corrected.
