09/01/94 v1.00  First version of DIZ4DESC created and tested out. Wow! it
                really worked great. I had a very positive reaction to it.
                Pumped quite a few hours of code into it to get it humming
                with a sweet purr and decided it may be appreciated by
                others so put together some help text and parameters for
                public release. Will run it for a week or so to break it in.

9/10/94  v1.10  Added VERBOSE for more detailed description of processing
                mostly intended to help with debugging user's problems.
                Registration fee *not* required for this initial version as
                much further testing is surely required but future versions
                will probably request or require a fee to help me out here.

9/17/94 v1.17   Found a bug with a conflict between 4DOS aliases and the
                DOS commands the program uses to process the archives.
                Added 4DOS version detection and created a special set of
                commands to be used when shelled to a 4DOS environment.
                (Thanks to Bill for his help on finding this bug!)

9/20/94 v1.20   Corrected bug with word length maximum which did not consider
                hyphenated or joined words as separate words.

9/26/94 v1.26   Added routine to strip unnecessary characters from the
                beginning and end of words. Improved the verbose display
                of processing phases. Added pauses during verbose displays.
                Improved the description extraction routines a bit more.

2/2/95  v2.00   Added option to import description files 'as in' replcaing all
                spaces with character 250 so 4DOS would not reformat the lines.
                4DOS seems to move stuff around when it finds alot of spaces!
