History of COPYFIX.BAS by Jim Groeneveld:
vs. 0.0a, 16 November 1988: initial version.
vs. 0.0b, 16 November 1988:
- changed essential integer variables to double precision in order
to process larger records and number of records.
- added 'infinite' output record length, specified by entering a
fixed record length of 0, indicating an output file without
any end-of-line characters (CR/LF).
vs. 0.0c, 17 November 1988:
- added option whether to synchronize the output file with existing
CR/LF's in the input file if these are to be included.
vs. 0.1, 19 July 1989:
- changed single precision into double precision variables.
- some improved feedback and changed prompts.
vs. 1.0, 24 July 1989:
- completely redesigned and rewritten main algorithm for conversion,
because of the presence of a severe bug in the original one,
showing in certain specific, complicated instances.
- completely redesigned and rewritten algorithm for file name checking,
which wasn't correct for subdirectory names; improved error report.
vs. 1.1, 21 December 1990:
- corrected bug that showed with including & synchronizing CRLF and
input lines longer than 255, which were broken faulthy.
- corrected bug that did not process originally empty lines and lines with
lengths of integer multiples of 255 correctly (include CRLF).
- improved screen feedback by overwriting lines reporting max. spec. length.
- changed filename checking to allow for extended characters in path/filename
specification (OK for DOS).
- added support for wildcard characters within filenames or empty filenames
which implicitely requests a directory listing of files.
- without changing version number and date replaced author info (below) later
