                         Changes and Additions



        1.11 - CRC is now checked on all nodelist files that have
               the expected CRC on the first line (previously it
               was checked when applying nodediffs only).

             - New errorlevel 10 for CRC Error while compiling
               nodelist (errorlevel 9 is still used for CRC Error
               while applying nodediff).

             - When merging the first line is skipped if it contains
               the CRC.

             - New -r command line switch to avoid exit on CRC Error.

             - New -s command line switch to override SYSOP.NDX
               base name.

             - Any file specification can contain drive and path,
               including -n -d -o -s overrides.

             - When using Version7 only, the added nodelist segments
               are appended to the end of the full main nodelist
               instead of the end of your zone.

             - Some small changes in Nodelist.Prn and Nodelist.Txt

             - Fixed bug introduced in v 1.10: when a region segment
               (no zone entry) was compiled as the main nodelist,
               zone 0 was erroneously assumed.
               Now the address levels not present in the main nodelist
               correctly default to the config address.



        1.10 - OS/2: First 32 bit version, compiled by BC++.

             - OS/2: New "flat" index sorting (no more disk based
               merge-sort).

             - OS/2: "TmpPath" option in *.cfg not used any more.

             - OS/2: Long filename support

             - DOS: The "TmpPath" directory is now automatically
               created when necessary.

             - New improved Disk Full handling (errorlevel 4)

             - New "-o<nodebase>" command line switch to override
               output file names (NODEX.* -> <nodebase>.*).

             - New "KillAfter" config verb, to save old nodelist files
               in the case of compilation error.

             - New "Boss <address>" statement for easier pointlist
               support (see FastLst.DOC).

             - New optional partial address parameter in
               "MyList <nodefile> [default partial address]"
               to allow the addition of nodelist segments without
               the need of ZONE, HOST, node prefix lines (V7 only).
               See FastLst.DOC for more details.

             - New "-i<include>" command line switch to allow easier
               different file inclusions.

             - New "KillOld" config statement to kill old versions of
               nodelist files.

             - New "Kill999" config statement to kill the .999 file
               that remains after merging with MergeList.

             - Now the .999 file is killed whenever FastLst begins
               execution, thus you do not have to manually delete it
               if you stop using the MergeList command.

             - Now the "Gated" config keyword prevents Hub coordinators
               of other zones to be put in the output nodelist (only
               ZC and NC remain).

             - New "GateAddr" config keyword allows to have only
               selected zones, regions and nets in the output files.

             - New "GateCoord" config keyword allows to have in the
               output files only selected coordinators from the excluded
               zones, regions and nets.

             - New errorlevel 9 exit after CRC error while applying
               a nodediff. If "Autoerase" is active, the nodediff and
               the resulting nodelist files are erased, otherwise they
               are renamed to NODEDIFF.BAD and NODELIST.BAD.

             - New "StatusLog" config statement to specify the log
               filename in the .cfg instead of the command line.

             - New "TypeExact" config option to set modem types in a
               way more coherent with the behaviour of Binkley 2.55 and
               newer.

             - New "SysDup" config option to override FastLst's choice
               when killing duplicate SysOp Names.



        1.06 - OS/2: Fixed bug that caused some reg. keys not to work.

             - DOS: Fixed bug that sometimes caused memory problems
               during index sorting.
             


        1.05 - New UCOST verbs to set User Cost Different from Call Cost.

             - OS/2: Fixed bug that sometimes caused "Disk Full" error.



        1.04 - Changed redirection criteria: if you have a password with a
               hold/unpublished system or its coordinator, then it is NOT
               redirected; instead it gets an empty phone number string.

             - Slightly changed the algorithm to choose the entry for
               a multi-SysOp in Sysop.Ndx, so that he never gets data from
               an entry that is not used due to local segment override.

             - Added "Flags" Keyword to set the user defined bits.

             - OS/2: Fixed a bug that caused a "NULL POINTER" error when
               compiling only Version 6 and FidoUserLst.



        1.03 - Added <CR> before comment output to fix video output when
               both comments and report are active, Thanks to Roberto
               Zanasi.

             - OS/2: First (16 bit) version, ported by Pasquale Cantiello.
            


        1.02 - Null pointer bug fixed in Merge module, Thanks to Pasquale
               Cantiello.



        1.01 - Minor message and DOC adjusting.



        1.00 - First public release.
