  Changes in V3.1
  ===============
  meaning: + new, ^ improved, * changed, - removed

  V3.1
  ====
  + Option XAD/S: Causes xadmaster.library and clients to be used
    for extraction of archived files. External unpackers can be used
    alternately.
  + Option PENS/K: Enables you to set your own colors in NEXT's windows.
  + Own routine for playing sounds by datatypes.
  ^ Default colors are now completely set according to palette settings.
    Colors in Guides are the same as shown by MultiView. But due to
    restrictions of the console.device only the first 8 colors (pen numbers
    0-7) of the workbench palette can be shown.
  ^ Functions Print and Copy present a save requester if you enter a
    directory as destination.
  ^ Information about the archive type is shown with "I" when the archive
    list window is open.
  ^ The list format of UnZip 5.40 which differs from earlier versions
    (two chars more for file size) is supported.
  ^ Uncompressed size of archived files bigger than 7 digits is now
    converted to K.
  * MacDOC renamed to MacWORD5 because it turned out to be MacWORD5
  - BUG: Busy loop when listing archives with more than 4095 files.
