******************************************************************
Before running...

1)      Move the Microsoft 3D control library, CTL3D32.DLL
        into your System directory.  If you already have a copy of
        the library, you can delete it from the OmniFSPd directory.
        The controls won't work properly unless CTL3D32.DLL has
        been removed from the current directory and put into the
        System directory.

History

beta 0.1

02/21/95
        Fixed directory protection information.
        Will add \ to the end of paths if neccesary.
        Changed open mode of the log file.
        Added a View Log option that launches Notepad.

02/22/95
        Changed security features to allow uploading only
        Added compilation date and time to version information

02/23/95
        Added error logging to log file

02/24/95
        Allowed users to create directories when Allow Uploads Only was
        checked
        Flushed the log before launching NotePad

03/05/95
        Recompiled the daemon under a different compiler.  Should run
        a little bit faster.

beta 0.2

        Changed the name of the executable to OMNIFSPD.EXE

beta 1.0b1

        Converted code from 16 to 32 bit.  Added support for long file
names. Note that due to the popularity of Win95, the 16 bit version has
been dropped.  The 32 bit implementation offers more stability and
robustness.  The old 16 bit version will still be available.

beta 1.0b2

        Fixed some stupid mistakes like forgetting to include OFSPD.INI
with the other distribution files and putting the wrong version number
in the VERS reply.  Luckily, now you don't need to fiddle around with
OFSPD.INI as the program will now create it and let you change options
from within the program.  Uploading has been fixed (hopefully).
Directory maintenance now works with long file names.

        In order to reduce the size of the executable, the image of the
program is now based.  In non-technical terms, this means that the
program will not work well under Win32s.  Win32s is an extension to
Windows 3.1 that allows it to run some 32 bit applications.  You must
upgrade to either Windows NT or Windows 95 to use OmniFSPd.

beta 1.0b3

        Settings have been moved to the system registry so OFSPD.INI is
no longer required.  I haven't had a lot of time to work on this so this
release is basically a couple of bug fixes and a feature to pause the
server (ignore requests).  One of the bug fixes was a fix to handle
packets with illegal request sizes.
