What's New on version 5.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Fixed: Backup problem with synchronization if compression enabled.
- Fixed: Problem compressing files with the same zip archive name.
- Fixed: NT bug workaround created for date/time of files from Novell
         network.
- Fixed: when updating files in zip archives the file attributes on
         the log file were wrong.
- Added: The file size test when backing up files. Now if the source 
         file has a date time less than the backed-up file but it's 
         size is different then it is always backed up. This new 
         behavior compensate time differences when backing up to
         networked PC.
- Fixed: Problem deleting no more existing folders if synchronization
         is enabled.
- Changed: option to make a single compressed zip archive with stored
         path names. Now there is a new dedicated check box instead
         of the "JobSrc\" combo box. In this way this option is more
         intuitive to understand and use.
- Added: new choices for the destination path layout: reverse date, 
         reverse short date, reverse date + time and backup mode.
- Fixed: memory allocation problem with restore of zip archives with
         many files.
- Added: percentage to the tray icon bar ToolTip.
- Changed: a call to a function only supported under Windows NT and 95 
         with IE3 has been changed to allows the program run on the first
         release of Windows 95.
- Fixed: wrong behavior of the "Delete empty destination folders" option.
- Added: on the backup dialog the value of the disabled options are now
         saved and restored to their previous value.
- Added: when at least one error occurs during the backup or restore, the 
         program automnatically switch, at backup completion, to the report
         dialog and highlight the first error line in the log.
- Fixed: POST backup application execution was waiting the application to
         terminate before to complete the backup (purple and black animation
         continues to run after the POST application has been lunched).
- Fixed: memory allocation BUG during restore.
- Fixed: If the option to make a single zip archive with stored path names
         is active the program does not create the last folder name in the
         destination path and does not allows a complete restore of the 
         source path.
- Fixed: little problem with the wait curson when clicking on the Jobs tab.
- Fixed: support of UNC names when backing up to a disk that only support
	 8.3 file names.
- Fixed: log file report of deleted folders.
- Fixed: when backing up to a single zip archive the "Skip folder" option
         was not yet implemented.
