  1.95 : Added selective tagging/untagging.  Added config option ALWAYS_REREAD,
         set it to TRUE and DMPC will re-read the current directory every time
         the filemask changes.  Added option to rip samples in 8-bit unsigned
         format (.RAW).  Added better error checking into sample ripping and
         playing routines.  Ripper now supports AMF (thanks Otto!).  Added
         option to rip samples to Windows WAVE, SoundTool SND and Creative Voice
         VOC files.
         Added PAS & GUS support but it kept crashing, took it out again.  This
         is probably the last version of DMPC that'll be written because I'm
         loosing internet access... keep the postcards coming though!

  1.94 : Fixed a problem that occured when DMPC tried to read a broken archive.
         Put the sample number next to sample for easier reference.  (Not
         released to the public).

  1.93 : Fixed a bug that was re-introduced, DMPC was once again not ripping
         multi-chan MODs correctly.

  1.92 : Fixes the garbage that used to appear in sample names.  Fixed the
         accelerated clock problem, it now keeps the clock fairly accurate.  If
         you have been experiencing lockups when using DMPC, set STACKS=9,512 in
         your CONFIG.SYS, this should solve the problem.  Fixed problem with
         sample 1 in S3M files.  Added 669 sample ripping routines.  Fixed
         problem with PLAYER option in config, you can now specify the full path
         for the player (speeds up selection in multi-configs).  Added ablility
         to specify paths of archivers in config for faster loading.  You can
         now specify where you want DMPC to read by default in the config with
         the new START_PATH option.  Added STM ripping routines (doesn't do the
         Repeat Length properly yet).

  1.91 : Ripper now supports Soundblaster for preview functions.  RIPPER_DEVICE
         & RIPPER_DMA added into config for SoundBlaster support. Added ripper
         routines to rip samples from S3M files.

  1.90 : Added MOD sample ripper & preview functions.  Added RIPPER_DIR &
         RIPPER_PORT into config.  Preview the samples through PC Speaker or a
         DAC on a parallel port.

  1.81 : The bug with the TEMP dir for extraction has been fixed.  Fixed a bug
         in my LIMIT reading routine, it only read the first file in the
         archive.  (I seem to have released DMPC v1.80 in the 1.81 archive... oh
         well...)

  1.80 : Fixed a balancing routine in the selection menu (gave one out in a
         special case).  DMPC will read only the formats in the inclusion mask
         if you (re-)read a directory.  Swapper will swap to either the temp
         directory defined in the environment variable TMP or TEMP, or to the
         temp directory defined in the DMPC config (in that order).  Support
         for Squeeze It (SQZ) archives.  Reading uncompressed files should be
         faster now.  Fixed a bug in the play tagged routine.  Changed config
         into a more flexible INI-type format. Use CTRL-C for a fast change of
         directory on the current drive.  Use CTRL-D to delete all tagged files.
         You can specify the directory DMPC will start up in on the
         command-line, eg. DMPC \MYDIR\MODDIR.


  1.73 : Support for LIMIT archives (.LIM).

  1.72 : File inclusion mask for different players 'cause some players can't
         play S3M etc.  Added WAV/SND/VOC support (no validation is done on
         the files though).

  1.71 : Made DEVICE NAME longer.  Fixed two non-critical bugs with config.

  1.70 : NST supported (finally).  Full path searching.  Extracts to temp
         directory.  Fixed change drive & screen clearing bugs.  Archive
         searching speeded up (again!).  Amiga type mod name MOD.NAME format
         recognised.  Improved find to do partial matching inside names if no
         partial match was found on start of name.  Can now delete files from
         inside archives.  Read 1000 files in any directory.  Multiple config
         definitions.  F10 to swap to DOS.

  1.60 : Added ZIP support.  DMPC logo by Sand.  Optimized archive searching
         routines.  Re-read current directory.  Switch to/from 43/50 line
         mode.  Change drive.  Fast find routine.  Help page.

  1.51 : Fixed a nasty bug that deleted non-archived files once played.

  1.50 : ARJ/LHA support added.  EMS/XMS/Disk swapper added.  Directory
         changing (for all the people who love their subdirectories) has been
         added.  STM files are now read in (but I only was able to test it on
         converted MOD files).  Use DMP or PMP according to your needs.
         43/50 line mode is used when detected.  Load/Save tag selections.
         Fixed some small bugs (some of which were bigger once I opened the
         hood to have a look at what was causing the problem).

  1.40 : Mouse support!

  1.30 : Support for 669, AMF and S3M added, sequential tagging, delete
         function.

  1.20 : Fixed a few bugs in previous releases.

  1.10 : Added HOME/END, PAGE UP/DOWN, elementary tagging, multiple play with
         or without random selection.

  1.00 : Original release.
