ħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħħ

* - F10 will now shell to DOS instead of exit.

$ - Hitting the first letter of a file will now go backwards if you are
    at the end of a list.

+ - If you were at the pick directory list, you could hit F2 until the
    program crashed.  Fixed.

+ - Trying to delete a file when you have no files will not cause an
    error.

+ - A long comment in an archived file was overwriting the rest of the
    screen in a status box.

+ - CD-ROM directories were not able to be found.  Fixed.

$ - You can delete a config file from the directory pick list now.

+ - Programs that messed with the number of lines on the screen was not
    being reset.  Fixed.

+ - Deleting a file cause a window to appear instead of a box.

$ - Supports the latest version of ARJ.

* - Plays DEMOS through the use of Mega_Exts.

$ - Will now save in sorted order if desired.

+ - Runtime Error 203's should be gone.

$ - Scrolling pick lists has the same meaning on going up or down.

$ - Pick lists are bigger now.

+ - Deleting a file from a master list that wasn't compressed was not
    possible.

* - Ability to play different extensions from one list via a MEL.

$ - Faster scanning/reading of config files and archives.  Also, the
    config files are smaller.

$ - Support for more than 9 players!  Now will allow up to 35.

* - Configurable colors.

* - Ability to tag / untag files by wildcard.

$ - Some optimization was done.

$ - Rescan was changed to do :
        1) Rescan the single directory if that is what is open.
        2) Rescan all defined directories if you are in a MASTER list.
        3) Rescan all extensions and their directories if you are in a
            MEL.

$ - Runtime error 202 should be gone.

$ - Totally revamped config files based on directory name hashing.

$ - Totally revamped CFG file based on keywords.  NEWCFG.EXE will update
    the old.  This allows multiple directories to be stored in the CFG
    file.

$ - Multiple work dirs can be defined instead of just one.

$ - X-MASTER will search the path for archivers.  Also, archivers are no
    longer required if you don't use one or more of them.

$ - You can sort by different keys now.  Name, extension, date...

$ - Three second delay between playing of files instead of five.

* - Allow multiple archives to be extracted using Ctrl-Enter or
    Alt-Enter.  If you have any multi-disk demos, this will make them
    all extract to the directory and then you can pick an executable
    from that.  Furthermore, if you have a player that supports a "@
    style playlist" (like DMP), you can use this feature to play them
    all.

$ - 286/386 instructions enabled leaving off 8088 market.  Sorry!  Let
    me know if you need an 8088 version.

$ - Menu was changed because I ran out of function keys.  All function
    keys still work, but I won't tell you about them!  Try using the Alt
    keys.

$ - User interface was changed to wrap around.

$ - The sorting can go in either direction.

$ - If you scan a list with more than 300 files, it will prompt you to
    make sure.  (It can take a while!)
