Yes, there are updates!!!
3/7/1991
It is now 2 o'clock in the morning and version 1 of both FCKECKER and
FLISTER are ready. FCHECKER is OK, but FLISTER could do with a few
improvements. It will do the work anyway.
Fixed a few bugs when I woke up.
6/7/1991
Starting to work on a GEM-based FLISTER. Many improvements planned.
8/7/1991
It's 10 o'clock in the evening and I can see the sunset from my window.
I'm about to start the last (I hope) long session to complete FLIST2.
Saving and Deleting......
9/7/1991
I started on these programs a week ago (3/7/1991) and FLIST is already
up to version 2, it was finished 4 o'clock this morning.
If you have seen v.1, this is a big step forward. If you haven't, be happy!
V.1 was of, ahem, "different" quality. Now you have GEM menus, ability to
load from and save to different directorys and delete files from list.
This is a BIG improvement!
Updated the manual and fixed a few bugs when I woke up too.
10/7/1991
Just couldn't keep away, could I. Made some internal changes to FLIST2,
it should speed up saving a bit.
The big change is in FCHECKER. It checks the files so fast (on my HD),
that it is impossible to see which files it's checking. This is fine if
everything is OK, but if something is wrong with a file, it is impossible
to see which one it is.
The solution is simple: if you press the <p> on the keyboard when it
starts, the program will make a brief halt before terminating.
Version number on FCHECKER is now 1.1.
11/7/1991
This change will only be seen by you who have TOS 1.4 or 1.6: The
fileselectorbox will now have a title that tells you what to do.

Yep, time for another update! Another BIG change this time: CHECKSUMS!
Yes, the program now calculates a checksum on each file and puts it
in the filelist. I changed the Flist program so you can create the new
lists with it AND convert the old ones from v.1 to v.2.
Also updated the Fcheck program so it now handles BOTH the old and
the new filelists.
Flist is now up to version 3 and Fcheck to version 2.
Also fixed a few bugs remaining from Flist2.
14/7/91
I changed the checksum algorithm today. They are now encrypted!
An other change is that the program now searches more of the file.
To check a whole 200K file will take ages, but if you wish me to
change it, let me know.
Flist is now v.3.1 and Fcheck is v.2.1
16/7/91
I speeded up the checksum algorithm. It's faster, but it also means that
lists created with 3.1 will not work. It doesn't matter really, since
3.1 never was released outside my bedroom. I also 'shadowed out' some menu
items when no list is loaded.
Flist is now 3.2 and Fcheck 2.2
19/7/91
Found a real megabug in the delete-routine. It messed up the filelist when
you deleted files from the list. I don't know how I could have missed it,
it was so obvious.
Found another bug in the checksum routine. It showed itself if you
deleted files from the list.
Changed the checksum algorithm again, so earlier versions will not work
anymore. Didn't bother to make a converter this time either.
It is now possible to choose if you want to check the whole file or just
part of it. There is a item in the menu 'Extra' called 'Check whole'.
Remember that if you check the whole file, it will take MUCH longer,but
it's much safer.
Changed Fcheck so it won't terminate if it can't locate a file. (Thank's
Steve Delaney for the suggestion)
Flist is now 3.5, Fcheck 2.5
20/7/91
Added the item 'Delete file' in the File menu. Also renamed 'Delete files'
in the Edit menu to 'Remove files', so it won't be confused with Delete.
Added the item 'Status' in the Extra menu. It will give the status on
some system vectors.
Added keyboard shortcuts to all menu items except About...
Flist is now 3.6.
