                              REVISION HISTORY



        FDH10.ZIP
        Version 1.0
        12/7/91

                First release.  Colors in the header file could not be
                easily changed.




        FDH20.ZIP
        Version 2.0
        12/20/91

                Added provision to change up to four colors in the
                header file.  Eliminated the need for the template
                (.MSK) file.  It has now been incorporated into the
                executable.  Added color chart (COLOR.CHT) of all
                non-blinking PCB "@X" color codes.




        FDH30.ZIP
        Version 3.0
        12/21/91

                Added provision to change up to five colors in the
                header file.  Added warning about the limitation on file
                directories not being over 50k bytes in size.  Reduced
                the maximum number of DIRx files to 100.  Reduced the
                maximum number of lines in each DIRx file to 1000.  This
                was done to make the most of the 64k memory limit
                imposed by GWBASIC.




        FDH40.ZIP
        Version 4.0
        12/22/91

                Restriction on 1000 lines in DIRx files has been
                eliminated.  Size of DIRx files in now unlimited.
                The "out of string space" error has been corrected.
                Some previous versions added a line feed after the
                header.  This has been fixed.  Unless any further
                bug reports are received, this will be the last
                revision of FDH.



	FDH50.ZIP
        Version 5.0
	1/1/92

		Revised Docs to add note about running FDH on multiple
		noded versions of PCBoard.  Added note about running
		FDH separately for each conference which contains its
		own file directories.  Added Statements in Doc File to
                to show how multiple copies of FDH can be run in the
                daily event.  Other minor changes were made in the Doc
                file.

                No change was made in FDH40.EXE except to change the
                filename to FDH50.EXE.



        FDH51.ZIP
        Version 5.1
        1/9/92

                Revised the Files & Bytes field to output a standard
                image in the form of ##,###.  Rounded the Bytes output
                to K-Bytes for easier reading at a glance.  Total number
                of directories allowed has been increased from 100 to 150.



        FDH60.ZIP
        Version 6.0

                to create ALLFILES.LST.  Eliminated the hokie "VCR" in the
                Checkerboard.  Revised the Docs to add a section on Trouble-
                Shooting.  Made other minor changes in Docs for clarity.



         FDH70.ZIP
         Version 7.0
         1/28/93

          Version 7.1
          1/31/93

                 Added neutral color code to end of all Header lines to

	  FDH80.ZIP
          Version 8.0
          6/15/95

                 Complete header redesign in keeping with the modern
                 "raised metallic plate" design which became popular
                 when Mark Herring introduced his QMail 4.0 mail door.
                 Increased the maximum number of directories to 500.
                 Added a flashing "EVALUATION COPY" line to the bottom
                 of the header to encourage registration.  Offered a
                 choice of seven different colors for the design.



	  FDH81.ZIP
	  VERSION 8.01
	  6/17/95

		  Fixed error in main executable which insisted on the
                  color "blue" to be entered in FDH.CFG in all caps,
                  instead of upper or lower case.  No other colors were
                  affected.
