ARC4E/CMD Version 03.00.01 04/03/92 Update Notes
------------------------------------------------

This release of ARC4E corrects three "bugs". The first one, discovered by
Frank Slinkman, was a result of a header file in MISOSYS MC incorrectly
declaring a variable to be an integer when, in fact, the variable was actually
an unsigned integer. The result of the declaration error was that hard
disk drives with greater than approximately 8 megs of free space showed a
negative display of free space in the verbose mode of the list command.

The second "bug" was inadevertantly discovered by Bruce D. Berry who couldn't
understand why ARC4E returned to DOS with no warning and no time display while
extracting from an archive. The information he provided enabled me to determine
that this occurred when encountering a squashed file and either @EXMEM wasn't
installed or there were no free banks of extended memory. The code was in
place to handle that situation but it was obviously not working.

The last one was discovered while trying to fix the second "bug". ARC4E would
state that it couldn't delete a zero byte file created before it found that it
couldn't extract a squashed file. This problem turns out to have been in all
previous versions of this extraction program, including the MS-DOS version.

Due to the extensive coding changes made, a patch file wasn't feasible.
A complete recompilation of the source has been provided.
