-Fixed bug that caused MaxFile2 to crash if files.bbs DNE

Ver 0.20 -4000 lines of code.
-Raised maximum number of file areas to 1000
-Fixed a cosmetic bug with changing the window size
-It is now possible to select multiple file archives
and apply most of the file menu options to each selected
archive. That is, Multiple move, contents, verify,
re-archive, delete, Picture view, touch, and virus check
is now possible and extract file_id.diz for the description.
-Fixed a bug with the area selection window. The display
would get out of synch with the area actually selected.

selection window.

area selection window by simply entering the area number.

a file description were lost.
-Fixed a bug where the files.bbs was not written out after
a description was changed by extracting the file_id.diz

(turned out to be a compiler bug).

second to last option rather than the last option.
-Added wrapping of selection for menus when either at the
first or last option.
-Menu windows now close immediately upon selection.
-When file does not exist but there is a description in the
Files.bbs, Maxfile now shows it as offline.
-Fixed a bug in the description editor: Pressing the right
arrow at the end of a description moved the cursor up one
line.
-Virus scanner didn't. Now it does.
-Removed some debugging messages in the virus scanner.
-Files.bbs are no longer written every time they are
modified. It is stored in memory and then you can save
from the files menu, by switching areas (you will be
given a choice) or by exiting where you will also be
given a choice.
-Fixed a display bug (sometimes caused core dumps) when the
description at the bottom of the window was changed.
-Fixed bug that caused a core dump and display corruption if
the last file in a window was selected and the window was
then repeatedly shrunk.
-Fixed bug: When file_id.diz was extracted, too much was
taken and the description for the file became too long.
-File descriptions are now limited to 250 characters
-Source code no longer included. Available on request.
-Work was begun on a PM version.
-Shrinking/growing windows is now more cosmeticaly attractive.
-All C++ features of the code were removed to take care of
any dependancy on GNU software.
-Fixed a small display bug when view contents. Now, page
down will not overshoot the display of contents.
Ver 0.21 -4300 lines of code.
-Choosing Description->Use File_id would only scan the
selected file for a file_id.diz. It now scans all selected
files. It also does not replace the present description
unless the file_id.diz exists
-!!!!Picture viewing is now multi-threaded. The name of the
presently display picture is displayed on the top line of
the main window at the right..
-Selections appeared to remain selected after viewing the
contents of file when in fact they weren't.
-!!!Re-archiving files is now multi-threaded. The window that
contains the files being re-archived is then locked to that
area until the re-archiving is done. The file presently
being re-archived is displayed at the top of the main
window.
-Fixed bug: re-archiving a file to the same type resulted in
deleting the file.
-Added config variable that allows for low priority
re-archiving of files.
-Selections remained after the window had been resorted.
Since the order had changed, the selections often changed.
Now, after a sort, nothing is selected.
-When the highlighted file was two away from the bottom, the
window would both scroll down and the highlighted file would
go to the bottom. Annoying and now fixed.
-Letter for Pic view in the file menu was not capitolized.
-Now, MaxFile/2 uses the environment variable TMP for
re-archiving and virus scanning. If it is not defined, a
user defineable temporary directory is used. If that is
also not defined, the present directory is used.
Ver 0.22 -4400 lines of code
-Now releases some memory that was used for the thread but
not released before.
-Number to the left of the area would get out of synch with
the area when hitting the page up key. Fixed.
-Due to popular request, the colour for file name,
description, date, size and highlight colour are now
configurable through the maxfile.cfg
-Added config variable to allow the automatic adoption of
orphans when a new file list is read in.
-Bug fix: directory where file was extracted for a virus
scan was not removed.
-Bug fix: Selection was not re-highlighted after viewing a
picture
-Bug fix: In update from 0.20 to 0.21, a bug entered where
attempting to extract a file_id.diz when one did not exist
resulted in a core dump.
-Bug Fix: WHen selecting an area, if END was pressed, the
area selected was one greater than the area shown
-FileArea.ctl is no longer needed or used. All the needed
information is obtained from the areas.dat (Hooray!!)
-Bug fix: If you tried to edit a description in an empty file
area, you would get garbage.
-Bug Fix: actions in an empty area could result in the
program locking or core-dumping. Now you cannot do anything
in an empty area except change to a new area, adopt orphans,
exit, or resan the area
-Selection not re-highlighted after a file->contents or a
file->verify.
-FBP is now run on the correct areas (was not previously but
no one ever noticed this).
-Added ability to open up initial two windows in areas of
your choosing.
Ver 0.23 -4600 lines of code.
-Scanning of file info is now *MUCH* faster. Before, it took
about 50sec for a CD-ROM area with ~300 files. Now it takes
about 2 sec.
-Added a large number of hotkeys to perform many of the menu
options. The menu options still work but many will prefer
the hotkeys.
-Added on-line help. Pressing <F1> gets help at many
different stages.
-Trying to move a file that does not exist now results in the
description of the file being moved.
-When selecting an area and entering the number of that area,
the title of that window showed "0-xxxx" where xxxx was one
more than the maximum enterable number. Now fixed.
-Now, extract file_id.diz also works for DESC.SDI files
-Added ability to grow/shrink top or bottom of windows
-Released into the FWBBS file echo for general availablity
beta testing
Ver 0.24 -4700 lines of code.
-Found a simple and quite nice method of saving comments that
are in the files.bbs. Now all comments are saved and can be
edited just like a file description.
-Bug fix: The date displayed was the last access date rather
than the last write date (Max uses the last write date on
HPFS). On FAT, there was no problem.
-Scrolling up in a window is now as fast as scrolling down.
-Bug fix: If you deleted the last couple of files in a
window, the display could become corruped and a core dump
might occur.
