Due to some minor errors in releasing V3.13 and V3.14 this version of UNP
is released as V3.20a. The changes made from UNP V3.20 to V3.12:

- fixed bug which in certain cases messed up 2 bytes in the resulting file
- added PROTECT! EXE/COM V3.1
- added PROTECT! EXE/COM 4.0+
- added intelligent Uncompress

Changes made from UNP V3.12 to V3.11

Due to a hard disk crash I lost propack v2.08 and ice V1.00, can anyone
who has one or both of these pleeeaaassseeee send it to me?

Also, I decided to release UNP as freewhere (see doc), please register!

  and Outfile are specified

   - UNP's Infile wildcard is now by default set to *.* if you have
     specified a command.
