INTRODUCTION
------------------
Some people (like me) are forced to use pee-cee machines to transfer
files from internet to my Amiga (it doesn't mean I've bought a pc
for my own! I use (big word:) it only at my technical university).
As you all know, no one needs more chars to name his files than 8.3,
which seems to be a 'professional filename format'. Any other, longer
names are obsolete and should be forbidden. Unfortunately both Amiga
and Unix based machines use longer names for their files, so
transfering files between those platforms via pc causes 90% of name
(mainly dots :) to be eaten by pc. So I decided to cure this.
SaveNames is the medicine against.
LATEST CHANGES
------------------
* v1.6 - Fixed 'theoretical' bug which may caused SN to leave opened
file. The bug was 'theoretical' as level2 files are
automagically closed on program termination. But that was
bug anyway.
- Splitting uses now buffered IO. This should increase
splitting performance at least twice. Default buffer size
is 2KB which seems to be optimal.
- Amiga binary recompiled with SAS\C 6.58 and optimized
for size (time optimizer makes no sense in this case).
- FREEBSD platform defined
