              CHANGES

v1.00   11/6/92   0 Initial release

v1.01   11/11/92  1 Added '#' to valid DOS character test for 1st position
                    of filename.

                  2 Fix the wrap into line 1 problem that zapped the separating
                    blank.

v1.03   11/15/92  3 Increased the buffer size to allow 40 lines of input,
                    one user had *big* CDROM descriptions he was converting!
                    Since it won't hurt, why not.  It will decrease the chances
                    of this thing blowing up.  Of course, I could check for
                    overrun--- naw, I'll just add it to the to-do list.
                    People shouldn't be using huge descriptions anyway. 40
                    lines should hold most everyone!

                  4 Added all of the valid filename characters to the test of
                    the first filename character (except for the &). Yes, some
                    folks actually do use _ - { } % ^ ( ) as filename chars!
                    A reminder though, no lower case alpha allowed ....

To-do:

- As lines are being read into the buffer, test for buffer overrun.
  If yes, spit out a message, pack what we have, and treat the remainder
  of that set as comment lines.

- Did the 2nd fix add a column 79 blank in some cases,
  and if so, is that bad?

- See if the blank in split-line hyphenated words can be eliminated.
