1.20     - CONFIGURATION FILE CHANGE!!!  ROMProc now supports drive locking for
(6/17/93)  slow drives. This will prevent massive slowdowns due to thrashing
           CD-ROM drives and changers. Refer to the LOCK_DRIVE and LOCK_TIME
           parameters.

           CONFIGURATION FILE CHANGE!!!  Due to the addition of locking,
           ROMProc will display the text defined by DELAY_PROMPT to the user
           indicating the reason for the delay if ROMProc waits on the drive
           longer than 5 seconds.

           Some sysops stated that the error message display would go by too
           quickly to read, therefore the delay was increased to 5 seconds from
           3...this should help.

1.12     - Learned that some BBS software do not stay in their node directory
(6/2/93)   for the file transfer (e.g. RBBS). This poses a problem if two nodes
           are executing batch downloads simultaneously, since the temporary
           batch download list file was named "ROMPROC.LST" by default. Now the
           list file is named "ROMPROC.#", where # is the node number. Note
           that you must pass the node number using the -N command line
           parameter for successful multinode implementation within these BBS
           systems.

1.11     - With the new versions of ARJ (2.39d and higher), secured ARJ
(5/25/93)  archives cannot be modified in any way, including adding a BBS ad
           file or commenting the archive. Therefore, ROMProc has been modified
           such that it will not abort the transfer if an archiver error is
           detected, but will continue and transfer the unmodified files. The
           error will be displayed and logged for the sysop's information.

           Added error detection to ensure that incorrect COM port information
           (e.g. IRQ, DTE rates) cannot be accepted by ROMProc.

           ROMProc could not automatically identify PKZIP 2.04? SFX archives
           created with the -j (SFX junior) switch, resulting in them not being
           commented and/or not having BBS ads inserted. Fixed.

1.10     - CONFIGURATION FILE CHANGE!!!  ROMProc can display sysop-defineable
(4/28/93)  text to the user indicating the processing status. Refer to the
           COMM_IO, PROC_PROMPT and DL_PROMPT parameters in the documentation.

           CONFIGURATION FILE CHANGE!!!  ROMProc is now capable of logging
           error messages to disk, if desired. This will help track down
           configuration errors in ROMProc.

1.00     - Oops...if a single-file download was initiated from a drive not
(3/25/93)  specified to be preprocessed, ROMProc may delete it from the disk
           after download.

           Broke the SFX archive identification routine, so no SFX archives
           were commented or had BBS ads inserted. Fixed.

0.99с    - CONFIGURATION FILE CHANGE!!!  Archive commenting is now user-
(3/23/93)  configurable via the COMMENT_ARC parameter. Enter YES if you desire
           archive commenting, otherwise enter NO or comment the line out.

           CONFIGURATION FILE CHANGE!!!  The drives to be preprocessed (BBS ad
           insertion and/or commenting) by ROMProc must now be specified using
           the PROC_DRIVE parameter. Any file not on a specified drive will be
           transferred from the original location. This feature is for sysops
           who only want to preprocess CD-ROM files, but not files on hard
           disks. Refer to the documentation for more information.

           Modified code to process all the files from a drive prior to
           accessing another drive. This will prevent excessive CD changing on
           multi CD-ROM changer drives.

           If an ARC_COMMENT command-line is left blank in the configuration
           file, ROMProc will now skip commenting for that format. This will
           enable BBS ad insertion into archives that do not support
           commenting, such as LHA.

           Improved error-checking of command-line switches and archiver
           processing.

0.98с    - Initial public beta release.
