MixMan Versions History

Version 1.0   [ 14-Dec-1995 ]
  First version of MixMan. It has text, hex and palette file viewers.
  It allows extracting and replacing of files.

Version 2.0   [ 22-Dec-1995 ]
  A map viewer has been added, together with SVGA support. A last column has
  also been added to display the offsets.

Version 2.1   [ 05-Jan-1996 ]
  A bug has been corrected that prevented the last file in the MIX to be
  replaced correctly. I/O error checking has been added in many places so
  that an error while extracting or replacing a file will no longer generate
  a runtime error.

Version 2.2   [ 12-Jan-1996 ]
  Corrects another bug in the replace routine. Also gives default extension
  .BIN to map files.
  I tought I'd never release this version, but I had to, because it took me
  a long time to finish version 3.

Versions 2.98a-2.99d [ Spring 1996 ]
  Various beta-versions of version 3.
  Versions up to 2.99a have been released exclusively to the members of
  C&C:IE.
  For features, see version 3.

Version 3.0  [ 9-Jul-1996 ]
  Many new features. As I can't remember everything, I will list here
  only the improvements I can think of.
  - File selection. There's no need to supply a filename on the command
    line. Possibility to view files outside a MIX.
  - Automatically identifies file formats, for files in MIXes it doesn't
    recognize and for files outside a MIX.
  - Command line operation mode.
  - No more problems with read-only files.
  - New viewers : SHP, CPS, WSA, TMP.

    of the units and structures.

  - Better documentation (hopefully).
