 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                               IMPORTANT

There has been a change in the way RemoveR 1.7+ stores its database
files - unfortunately they are not backwards compatible. The new 
version will delete (after prompting you !) your existing database
files. 

Note : This does not affect saved data files (.rdf files)

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version 1.75

 * Now deletes folders better (less 'This folder is not empty' messages)

Version 1.74

 * Added the ability to run RemoveR in Dutch (thanks to Jurgen Bosboom)
 * Speeded up finding changes. Now *never* say that RemoveR is slow !!
 * Added a minimize button on the main form
 * New graphics (slightly better)
 * Added the facility to run RemoveR in Italian (Huge thanks to
    Giancarlo Danieli)
 * Corrected some French translations (ta Gérard !)
 * Changed the structure of the code so that it can support larger
    drives with more files (only one person complained ... but still !)

Version 1.73

 * Fixed bug relating to internationalisation issues.

Version 1.72 (32-bit only)

 * Fixed ANOTHER installer bug that caused an Unexpected Error when 
    running RemoveR. if you have experienced this see my homepage for
    more details 
           (http://homepages.enterprise.net/dodgy/rmvrbugwatch.shtml)

 * Changed some of the French Translations (thanks again Gérard !)

Version 1.71 (32-bit only)

 * Fixed an installer bug that caused an Unexpected Error when running
    RemoveR. if you have experienced this see my homepage for more
    details (http://homepages.enterprise.net/dodgy/rmvrbugwatch.shtml)
 
Version 1.7

 * Added support for Spanish & French - Huge thanks to Eric Feingold, 
    Darwin Montie, Gérard Flamant & Michel Guillemette.

 * Really made the 'scan drive' button the default one !

 * The 16 bit version of RemoveR now finds hidden files - however it
    will not find files in hidden directories (hidden or not)

 * The 32 bit version of RemoveR will find all hidden files and
    directories. This uses code specific to 32-Bit Windows, and it is
    unlikely that the 16-Bit version will ever have this capability

 * You can now specify a default directory to save your .rdf files to
    and load them from

 * Extra information now supplied when you try and delete a directory
    which isn't empty.

 * No longer finds RemoveR record files - thus stops people deleting
    them by accident.

 * I changed the format of database files -- see important message
    above.

 * A couple of bugs were fixed including the elusive Error 360 !

 * Changed my installer to Installshield. This should create less
    problems for people, and also provides an uninstall feature on
    Windows 3.1x systems.

 * (32 Bit ONLY) Last, and probably most impressive - the scanning
    speed is around three times faster than it was before, and the
    code is in place for future versions to scan for changed files
    as well as added/deleted files. This will probably appear in
    version 1.8

Version 1.67

 * Mainly released to fix a corrupt install routine I posted on Simtel

 * Made the 'scan drive' button on the main form the default button (now
you can just bang space)

 * Fixed a couple of spelling mistakes

Version 1.66

 * Results screen list now allows you to select multiple files by
    holding down shift and dragging selections/ctrl-clicking etc. 

 * (32-Bit Only) Deleted files are now deleted to the recycle bin
    instead of being wiped from your drive.

 * Changed file handling code for added stability when running with
    other applications.

 * New icon !

 * Progress bar on results scan - easier to see how much more to go.

 * Re-wrote the readme files. Maybe people will read them now :-)

Version 1.65

 * Speeded up compare routines. You should see major improvements
    when finding changes - especially when there have been a large
    number. I've been experiencing a speed increase of over 982
    times (!).

 * Now gives you a percentage complete readout when finding changes.
  
 * Warns you before you delete the scan file when clicking 'scan only
    windows directory' on the preferences screen.

 * On the search results page the 'save for future removal' button now
    only saves the files which are SELECTED (ignoring the deleted files
    of course).

 * A few other minor enhancements ...    

Version 1.61

 * Small, but fatal, bug fix regarding true-colour screens and the
    startup bitmaps.

Version 1.6

 * More aesthetically pleasing screens

 * Fixed a bug with the ignore list that caused it not to function
    under certain circumstances

 * Solved the problem of people experiencing colour-changing of their
    windows setups. The bitmaps used in RemoveR are optimised for
    1000's of colours but shouldn't now look that bad under 256 or 16.

 * Added a registration screen to personalise RemoveR

 * Added the preference to only scan the Windows directory and
    sub-directories (as RemoveR used to be in Version 1.3).

 * Slightly speeded up finding changes.

 * Fixed a bug with the uninstall using saved data file routine.

Version 1.52

 * Fixed a bug made visible in v1.5/1 Now that I am scanning the whole
    of a drive there is a lot more files scanned. The location where I
    store the files was becoming full resulting in out of memory errors
    (more frequently in Windows 3.x). Sadly it wasn't a simple job of
    increasing a number somewhere, it was much much more complex. I
    have incorporated some changes and RemoveR will now function with
    up to 12,000 files on any one drive. I can increase this if anyone
    has the need ...

 * Updated the splash screen to replect the new version number. (Forgot
    to do it for 1.51 !!!)

Version 1.51

 * Fixed a fantastically serious bug that meant Remover wouldn't run on
    and volume with a volume label, and it never freed any resources, and
    hence ran out of memory on almost every PC (apart from mine!).
    Hopefully this solves both problems. RemoveR 1.5 was never distributed
    to winsite and was only on my web site for a day, so it is really
    unlikely you actually ever got it !

Version 1.5

 * I was getting in a serious mess with my version numbering. This
    version is 1.5 - the previous version was 1.3 or 1.03, depending
    on where you looked!

 * Huge changes .... I implemented a new search routine that I cooked
    up one night - turns out its 400% faster than the old one. As a
    result of this I have added the most-requested-functionality, that
    of being able to search the whole of your drive(s).

 * As I added the ability to search your whole drive I thought i'd
    better add the functionality of setting directories for RemoveR to
    ignore. This, out of interest, was the second-most-requested change
    ever.

 * Added a remover.ini file to the windows directory to store your
    ignore list.

 * Forms now centered on the screen, should be able to see all of them
    with all resolutions now !

 * Spelling mistake fixed :-)

 * Added splash screen & more fancy about screen.

 * Now detects directories that have been added, as well as files

 * If you are a registered user I made your name appear more often in
    the lower bar, it all too frequently seemed to disappear.

 * To try to help users who have downloaded previous versions of
    RemoveR I will try to post the updated EXE file on my web site
    for download, thus saving you downloading the install utility again

 * Jazzed up text file

Version 1.3

 * A bug was fixed that only occured in exceptional circumstances.

 * This version is out earlier then I wanted, and as such has a lot
    of features I was hoping to include missing. This will be rectifed
    in v1.4. I was forced to upload this as Winsite had somehow
    corrupted the rmvr32.zip file. Sorry it took me so long to fix but
    British Telecom has taken 2 weeks to fix my telephone - on the
    upside they did pay me over 120UKP compensation :-)

Version 1.2

 * Included the runtime files. My mailbox was exploding with people
    wanting these !! This makes the distributable larger, so sorry to
    all those who had these files... this is for the benefit of those
    who haven't.

 * Now shipped as a separate 16 Bit and 32 Bit application. The 32-Bit
    version is Long Filename Aware, the 16 Bit version isn't.

 * Changed my email address & web address.


Version 1.1

 * Added the ability to save the search result, to enable uninstalling
    at a future date. To do this just click 'Save Search' when you have
    performed a scan. This data is saved into a file, and the program
    can be uninstalled at a later date. To uninstall a saved file, just
    click the button on the main screen.

Version 1.0

 * First Release.
