                             Changes and Additions
        
        
        1.10   Aug 15 1996
        
             - Files.Bbs lines starting with an high ascii character
               (>127) in the first column are now taken as comments.
        
        
        
        1.09   Jun 21 1996
        
             - Added -q switch.
        
             - Improved doc.
        
             - New NT version.
        
        
        
        1.08   Mar 31 1996
        
             - The logic of the "-s" switch has changed: now ALL areas
               except the "slow" ones are processed and the global
               indexes are updated (not re-built) when this switch is
               used.
        
               Previously the "-s" switch only caused slow areas to be
               skipped, so that they were usually removed from the
               global indexes.
        
        
        
        1.07   Feb 29 1996
        
             - Added "-d" switch to avoid multi-line descriptions in
               FILES.DMP, the file where Maximus looks for the file
               descriptions when using the filebase (Locate and NewFiles
               commands).
        
               When multi-line description support is enabled, QFB
               outputs the entire description string (line feeds
               included) to the FILES.DMP, so that the Maximus Locate
               and New Files commands respect the original formatting.
        
               Unfortunately there is a side-effect: the continuation
               lines are aligned at left, and this is not appreciated by
               some SysOps.
        
               When the "-d" switch is used, QFB changes the linefeeds
               to spaces, so that the DMP description is made of a
               long unique line: the original formatting is lost but the
               description will be aligned and word-wrapped by Maximus
               when the Locate or NewFiles commands are used.
        
             - To disable multi-line description support, you can now
               use the "-c" switch alone. Previously you had to use
               "-c-1" and that was not documented.
        
             - Added INF documentation.
        
        
        
        1.06   Restricted Beta
        
             - OS/2: Problem with remote (LAN) directories fixed.
               The C stat function had problems: substituted with
               direct OS/2 API calls.
        
             - Improved multi-line support.
        
        
        
        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.
