QFB   WhatsNew
                             --------------


         1.05 - Support for multi-line descriptions (see Qfb.Doc).


         1.04 - New "out of memory" handler and exit errorlevel.
                Previously an out of memory error could result in
                strange behaviour.

              - Some internal changes in the filebase routines to
                improve consistency with Max 3.00

              - New ApWorks addresses and phone numbers


         1.03 - Update to support Max 3.00;
                Max 2.0x is NOT supported.

              - The specification of a path in the files.bbs to include
                a file that resides in a directory other than the
                default "Download" is now allowed.

              - The specification of an alternate files.bbs in
                "FileList" is now allowed with any extension (previously
                the .BBS was required).

              - The files that are not found are now included in the
                filebase and marked as "OFFLINE".

              - If an area is marked of "Type CD" and you do not specify
                an alternate "FileList", the local DAT/DMP/IDX files are
                not generated.

              - The DateAuto/DateManual/DateList are now fully supported
                (previously DateAuto was assumed).

              - New -n switch to allow the update of the filebase by
                compiling all the areas that have a files.bbs newer than
                the files.idx. CD areas skipped.

              - QFB and other ApWorks programs that update the filebase
                generate a "FileBase.Bsy" flag in the Maximus system
                directory to avoid concurrent writes to the same
                filebase. There is no need to manually delete this flag
                in case of power failure or abnormal termination.

              - The command line syntax has been modified to be
                consistent with that of the Max 3.00 FB/FBP.
                Switches -x and -r not implemented.
                Wildcards are more flexible (? and * in the OS/2 way).


         1.02 - Fixed bug that caused some dupes not to be removed
                from UniFiles.Idx.

              - Separate "/t /b" flags in FILES.BBS are now recognized.

         1.01 - Now more CD-ROM / MO friendly.
                QFB does not abort in case of path not found,
                drive not ready, read only dir, write protected unit.
                When QFB cannot write local DAT/DMP/IDX files it simply
                skips: if you do not really need these files, you can
                avoid copying files.bbs to a hard-disk directory.

              - More informative output.

              - New -g command line switch to avoid generation of local
                DAT/DMP/IDX files.


         1.00 - First public release.
