Version 1.3

        Added a new full-screen color display to show status 
        while GAP_LIST is running.  It shows exactly which files
        are being generated, how many files/bytes have been listed,
        and what file is currently being processed (though this 
        last bit of info will change so fast you're unlikely to be
        able to read it).  

        Started using the new Spontaneous Assembly 3.0 library for
        all the text formatting and screen output functions.  This
        new code, coupled with a number of other internal changes, 
        makes this version of GAP_LIST about 50% faster than the 
        previous version.

        Changed the format for the total bytes field in the bulletins
        and the listing headers.  Because of capabilities added by
        the new Spontaneous Assembly library, the total bytes are now
        counted by bytes and not by k-bytes.  GAP_LIST can now count
        in units of bytes up to a bit over 20,000,000,000,000,000,000.
        The fields are all formatted to 15 places, including commas. 
        When somebody gets into the terrabyte range, give me a holler
        and I'll expand the field.

        Fixed a formatting bug in the treatment of the "Files: xx..."
        line in the enhanced listing.  This line will now always
        appear on a line by itself.

        Dropped the 286-specific versions.  With the other changes
        made in this version, the speed difference isn't significant
        enough to justify the hassle of so many versions.


Version 1.2

        Fixed a bug in the SUBJECT filename template.  The template
        was getting truncated to 8 characters so something like
        FILES%03i.LST, which should have generated a legal filename 
        like FILES001.LST, was generating garbage.

        Aligned the c-tree file numbers to coincide with the rest of 
        GAP.  It's unlikely this ever caused a problem, but previous 
        versions didn't provide for fully coordinated file locking.

        Added the NEW sub-command to the MASTER, AREA, and SUBJECT 
        commands to provide listings of all files that are new 
        within the last "N" days.  This feature is available only
        in the registered version.

        Added a "N" to the status information output by GAP_LIST
        to indicate a NEW listing is being generated.

        If run from the GAP default directory, the MAIN command and
        the GEN subcommand of the AREA command are no longer 
        necessary.  If present, they will override the values 
        present in GAPBBS.CNF.

        Generated 286-specific versions for both single- and
        multi-user.  These will be available on The Cookie Jar
        to all registered users.  They are NOT intended for 
        upload to other systems.

        Added a new configuration file command, FAST.  This will
        provide the fastest possible execution by bypassing the
        output of most of the status information.  You won't see
        the names of the individual files as they are processed, 
        just the area and subject numbers.  If you need reassurance
        that the program is working correctly, don't use this option.
        FAST will reduce execution time by about 5-15%, depending
        on your disk speed and cache.

Version 1.1

        GAP_LIST will now only generate CONDENSED and ENHANCED 
        listings if there are files in an AREA/SUBJECT that are newer 
        than the existing listing for that AREA/SUBJECT.  This can 
        speed up the listing generation significantly if many of your 
        areas/subjects don't get updated on a daily basis.  For this 
        feature to work, the listing files must already exist.  If 
        they aren't there, GAP_LIST will generate a new listing.  To 
        avoid having uncompressed versions of all the listing files 
        hanging around just to make use of this feature, I've included 
        a program to truncate a file to zero bytes while retaining the 
        original file date.  ZERO.EXE is included with this version 
        and is documented separately.

        Related to this change is the addition of the IGNORE command.
        It allows you to have certain files ignored when doing the 
        new file scan.  Basically, you want to put the names of your
        listing files, as they are in the filebase, on the IGNORE 
        command line so a new listing won't be triggered if the only
        new file is the listing.

        The status information output by GAP_LIST while it's doing  
        its thing has been changed slightly.  It will now output a C, 
        E, and/or R after the AREA and the SUBJECT if it's generating 
        a Condensed, Enhanced, and/or Raw listing.  This was primarily 
        for use in making sure the new-listing-only feature was 
        working correctly, but it appeared useful so I left it in.

        Some minor changes were made to the description wrapping 
        routines.  They will now put two spaces after a period, 
        exclamation point, or question mark at the end of a sentence.

        GAP_LIST now requires a bit more memory than it did before.  I 
        discovered, after many hours of head scratching, that the 
        default stack size was woefully inadequate if you were 
        generating listings for a lot of subjects at once.  I think 
        the new stack size is sufficient, but if you get strange 
        results or odd lockups, be sure to let us know.

        The demo version of GAP_LIST is now slightly crippled.  I really
        didn't want to do this, but the registration rate clearly 
        indicated that some form of encouragement was in order.  You
        need a personalized key file to unlock all the features.
        Please leave a message to the SYSOP on The Cookie Jar at

        a key file.  Your key file will be attached to the reply.
