QUICK HISTORY FOR LAST FEW RELEASES

2.22	07.12.94

	Due to several requests from several persons I've added a
	possibility to enter long descriptions while running GetID.
	The layout is very close to ChgDesc running under internal string
	set, except smarter. There's a config entry for this: AskLongDesc.

	After AskLongDesc the file_id.diz can be appended into the archive
	if requested via InsertDiz configuration entry.

	There was a bug in long description reformatter causing all
	reformatted descriptions to become either empty or junked.

	Temporary files are now removed when the file format is unknown.

	ILBM recognition is now more reliable than it used to be.

	Config file parse errors now report the line number which caused
	the problem.

2.21    28.11.94

        Improved file_id.diz processing. CRs and MSDOG-EOFs are again
        detected and removed. There's also a new configuration entry
        TABSIZE for setting the size of tab (0x09) characters.

        As suggested by many people, the archivers now have a config entry
        for defining their full path. Some people were having problems
        because they had started RexxMast before setting up all the paths.
        For now on, every command, who are not parts of the OS, have
        configuration file entries. If the entries are left empty, the
        format is not supported. If they're not present or commented out,
        defaults will be used.

        The behaviour of ViewTek config entry changed a bit, to match with
        the other external proggie entries. GetID won't notify the user
        when an argument after the ViewTek keyword is missing, it just
        drops VT support then.

        MaxDescLines is now also allowed in GetID.config.

        Added (No)GetDiz configuration entry for those guys who for some
        reason do not want to automatically use file_id.diz files but just
        check the archives. This doesn't affect faking picture dimensions
        as file_id.diz, use ViewTek config entry for that.

        Uploaded files are now only touched (datestamp adjusted) when
        they're local (ie. line number equals zero).

        After finding out broken files GetID now cleans up, previously it
        just quit leaving temporary files all around the system ;-D

        Pictures are now pseudo checked - if ViewTek burps the image, it'll
        be discarded. ViewTek config entry must however be set.

        And yes, there are some optimizations again...

2.20    20.11.94

        GetID now has a configuration file. No need to re-edit the script
        after new releases :-D

        The text reformatter is a bit faster now.

        Those descriptions considered "short" could have "long" lines
        before, not anymore.
