History:

version 1.0 Initial Release
01/24/93

version 1.1 Second Release      Added support for BBS's using the ARJ
02/01/93                        compression method.

version 1.2 Third Release       Added Auto-truncation for 02/12/93 sysops
02/12/93                        that prefer low maintenance.

version 1.3                     Fixed problem when scanning files over 1
12/01/93                        meg, or internal files over 1 meg. Dates
                                should now appear correctly in the Filestat
                                line of the file description for these
                                files.

version 1.4                     Basically a maintenance release, trimmed
01/01/94                        several bytes from the .EXE file. Should be
                                slightly faster, plus this release will
                                make fewer trips to your hard drive.

version 1.5                     Previous versions would not work with
02/11/94                        archived files that had a comment header
                                that contained an EOF marker (ascii 26).
                                Previous versions required you to correct
                                this problem before running FILESTAT.
                                FILESTAT will now work around the EOF
                                marker in either ARJ or the ZIP format.
                                *NO* CHANGES TO YOUR FILES SHOULD NOW BE
                                NECESSARY!

version 1.61                   BETA Release!! SF 3.5's unlimited file line
07/31/94                        description capability forced a total
                                rewrite of one complete section of code.
                                This release should allow for any number of
                                multiple lines.

                                Removed the Auto-Truncate feature, which
                                should now be unnecessary. Also fixed what
                                may have been a problem with newer versions
                                of ARJ and memory. This version has been
                                tested with ARJ v2.41, and will operate
                                correctly with 250K free before executing
                                FILESTAT.

                                SEVERAL things have either been re-written,
                                or changed in this version. Please report
                                any problems.

version 1.62                   Found yet another problem when
08/01/94                        processing the last couple lines in
                                SFFILES.BBS under a certain situation.
                                Problem fixed.

version 1.63                   Last line in file still being duplicated
08/03/94                        in some situations. I've now attacked
                                this from another angle, seems to have
                                taken care of the problem. (fingers
                                crossed...)

version 1.65                   Tightened code a bit due to a reported
09/04/94                        runtime error. Not sure of the cause, so
                                is a somewhat blind attempt at a fix. :)

                                Paths to both ARJ and PKZIP can now be
                                specified on the command line. For some
                                strange reason, specifying the path on the
                                command line fixes a problem on a few
                                systems.

                                NOTE: The method of specification has
                                changed with the addition of the ARJ
                                parameter. See the .DOC file for proper
                                usage of the /ARJ= and /ZIP= parameters

version 2.0                     Everything seems to be working OK with SF
10/14/94                        3.5 now. No longer under beta test.
