General Information
-------------------

This document describes detailed information about the software changes
in the A.02.05 version of the HPLC^2D and HPLC^3D ChemStation (DOS Series)
software.

The revision number convention of the softwares are 'P.AA.II' where :

   P  - Represents the Product number / major revision number link.
        Versions starting with 'A' are from product numbers that have
        an identical revision letter. (eg G1304A will always have a
        revision number A.??.??). It is current APG policy not to
        change this letter unless the software changes in purpose or
        function.

   AA - Represents the major revision number. Changes in this code
        will typically include significant software enhancements that
        may require complete revalidation of the system for customers
        operating in regulated environments. These revisions may also
        include defect fixes and documentation changes.

   II - Represents the minor revision number. These revisions correct
        software defects and are generally isolated in nature probably
        not requiring revalidation of the system for customers operating
        in regulated environments. These revisions only include defect
        fixes. They do not usually have documentation changes.
