checkbox 'Stop before leave' in 'Actions -> Basic -> Events' were
enable at startup, even when checkbox 'Sound' wasn't.

the RadioButton 'Send a message' in 'Actions -> Advanced -> Tasks' is
unchecked, even if it has a message correctly composed. Now it's just

(but it's still not OK. When added an audio file, its extension is
checked with possibles players in 'Settings -> Paths -> Audio' before

------------------------------------
Changes in version 0.1.1 Pre-Alpha:
Date: 2002-03-29
* Wrong hour convertion bug fixed:
When in Time Mode, the auto convertion 24hs/12hs from version 0.1
has a bug. All times with 10:XX and 11:XX, when chenged from 24hs
to 12hs will display 07:XX PM. As the system time is checked in
24hs, times in 12hs needs to be internally converted to get the
real time. So, when the user starts the alarm process with one of
this time in 12hs, it will be reconverted with error. The internal
"Base Time" will be correct, but the LCD will display the wrong one.
* Changes on data file:
To improve the config file access and set a future version control,
some changes were done in data.pas file.
