Changes in V3.01
=====
This is only a minor update containing mainly bugfixes.
meaning: + new, ^ improved, * changed, - removed
+ Better detection of PBM and XBM pictures, some of them were displayed
as TEXT.
+ NEXT displayed wrong file sizes for very big archived files (> 9.5 M)
due to restriction to 7 digits. Now a "+" is appended to signalize
that a file ist bigger than reported.
+ Message "Extracting <file>" in the titlebar when extracting archives.
* Help: The order of commands has slightly changed.
* NEXT doesn't clear the screen title any longer.
- BUG: Next sometimes displayed an additional line (rubbish) when the
displayed file didn't fill the window and the bottom command was
performed.
- BUG in MatchFiles: The busypointer didn't disappear if no file had been
found.
- BUG: MyFiles didn't display all files if ENV:next.files had no comment
at the beginning. Caused by an "improvement" :-(
- BUG? Raphael Pilarczyk reported MuForce hits when the reqtools
filerequester was opened or closed. I couldn't find the cause because
there are no hits on my system. According to the output of MuForce
the hits are produced by reqtools. I changed the code a little bit
hoping that MuForce will stay quiet now.
