Zeno's Paradox
September 29, 2003 - Urk!

Holly found a Books bug last night. If you use > or < in your descriptions, the file will fail to save properly and you will lose your collection data. The updated version will fix this, but beware in the meantime.

[Update] Given the nature of this problem and the potential for future problems of this sort, I'll be putting code into Books tonight that saves a backup upon startup. I'll use the algorithm "if number of books in collection is greater than one, save backup file". This should make it easier to recover from these types of problems.
