NOTICE
------

This is a pre-release, beta version of TRFish, *PLEASE* send me any
suggestion, bug report or comment. I'm also very interesting to
know from anyone using the program!.

I especially want a bug-free version, fully operational. New features
in future, if there is no special need for them.

It has been tested on my system, without problems:

- DLG 0.985
- Amiga 3000
- Kickstart 37.175, Workbench 37.67
- Tested with a lot of floppy disks
- Tested with all the disks in my Xetec CD-ROM 'Fish & More II'
- Tested with CD-TV 'Fred Fish Collection', version 1.3, process new & old
  Fred fish file contents. I only found problems with some Fish disk
  released with contents different from the standard.
- Compiled and optimized under SAS C 5.10b


I suggest you test the program creating new file libraries, and do not
use inmediatly file libraries with important data, although I think
the read/writing to FILE.DAT is OK, be careful .. at least backup
your FILE.DAT files... Also, I solve myself tons of problems while
testing related with file.dat corruption simply by running the DLG command
Freshen.
