Changes V2.4
============
meaning: + new, ^ improved, * changed, - removed
+ Fonts can now be selected by font requester (reqtools.library)
+ Within list windows (archive lists, ReLoad, MyFiles, Help) strings can
be searched for. "S" or "." starts search, "N" continues search.
+ Data files produced by Microsoft Word and Write are now converted to
readable ansi text.
+ Conversion of unreadable chars within MSDos text files to Amiga chars.
+ Command "Switch conv(ersion)": shows converted text files (guides, html,
MSWord, MSWrite, MSDosText) unconverted and vice versa.
+ Internal detar routine to list or extract TAR archives.
+ Help window can now be used as popup menu.
+ Option RES: makes dearchivers lha/lhx, lzx/unlzx and unzip resident when
needed for the first time. This increases speed of archive operations.
+ Internal routine for unpacking SZDD files (frequently found on CDs
for MSDos computers)
^ Conversion of HTML files improved (numbered and nested lists).
