format implemented but it is in the planing.

This is a major release with important innovations focusing on text documents and a modification of
processing user access keys. The latter may require to migrate databases from a previous version of
the software by re-defining a database access key which contains only primary ASCII characters (code
0..127). Only databases with such keys can be continually opened with this new version of JPasswords!
We apologise for any inconvenience! The benefit of this modification is universal access to your
databases, independent of locale and platform situation.
