     RCS Development Team - (c)2021


The updates to this program are far to numerous to mention here, but following
are some of the highlights:


4.0.3   -=>Serious rewriting and optimizing of code. It needed a lot of help.
           Added logging of exit errorlevels to both screen and to log file.
           Added debug coding option within code
           Fixed bug where only last line of LDesc was printed.
           Implemented full use of OSID, including path separators and line
           terminators.
           Added option for how file size is shown in reports - See rcs.ini
           Added option for thousand separator - See rcs.ini
           Overhauled the logging functions to make them cleaner
           Added time check to see how long processing takes.
           Added option for date format - See rcs.ini
           Added trim file function to .dat file
           Sped up processing 1000 tic files from over 12 minutes, down to 
           0.32 seconds on my test system


If you are using an older version of MTAFile, you will want to try out this
version. It is a lot faster, and better optimized. This version also has better
logging, so if you do run into an issue, it will be easier to figure out what
happened, and why.

For this version, the rcs.ini file format has changed slightly. Instead of each
line needing the '=' sign, such as:

BBS=My Awesome BBS

It just needs a blank now.

BBS My Awesome BBS

There have also been some additions to the rcs.ini file that can be changed to
fit your locale, and preference. The thousand separator can now be configured,
as well as the date format, and file size.

There is also no need to worry about having the slash/backslash on the path
lines in the rcs.ini file. If they are included, it will work fine, but it is
not required anymore.
