Future posibilities

  * Show Xpms with or without thier masks?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 4.1

  * Bug fixes and suggestions made by the current list of Beta Testers.

  * Changed file symbol bitmap to pixmaps of correct depth to attempt
    to fix a problem with xbmbrowser on Linix and other systems. This
    also makes files symbols standout over normal bitmaps on color displays.

  * Added a shorthand "-cf" option for "-config"


Version 4.0   Changes by Anthony Thyssen

  * New RC file format which allows better control of user menu actions

  * Seperate user menus for major file types

  * Expanded Default User Menu (assuming pbmplus is available)

  * Rescursive Scan of directories option.
    This was suggested by Steve Kinzler <kinzler@cs.indiana.edu> to
    allow better handling of his own faces library.

  * Don't recurse into sym-linked directories (show them as links instead)


Version 3.3 (internal)   Changes by Anthony Thyssen

  * Provide symbol icons to the non-displayed files and directories.

  * Deletion of the Help Button and Help File to be replaced with..

  * A Options Menu to interactivly turn Program options on and off.

  * Resources and Command Line Options to control initial setting of 
    the options menu.

Verson 3.2   Changes by  Ashley Roll and Anthony Thyssen

  * Pixmaps now free their colors correctly when deleted or xbmbrowser
    changes directory.

  * Current directory text widget, move cursour to end and append '/' 
    automatically, to allow easier modification by the user.

  * Color Resources added which matchs the AIcons Library Colormap.

  * Now checks if the file it is trying to load is a binary file and ignores 
    it if it is. This was done because the procedures that load and create a 
    Pixmap from a file had a nasty habit of crashing when given a binary file.


Verson 3.1   Changes by  Ashley Roll

  * Minor corrections from users on the network.


Verson 3.0   Changes by  Anthony Thyssen

  * Complete rewrite of data structures and routines for reading and 
    displaying the icons from a directory.

  * Addition of X Pixmaps and color

  * File type enumeration (Bad, Dir, File (unknown), Xbm, Xpm, BadXpm...)

  * Minor changes to get_files() in misc.c for determining file type
    and recording the last modified time.

  * Change to method used to display icon details when pointer inside
    a displayed icon. Avoid scanning the data structure for the icons name
    by setting the name into the widget used.
      Their should be a way of attaching a general pointer to any widget.
    You would think that givening a structure pointer instead of a string
    for a widgets label would work but it doesn't. XtSetValues it seems
    makes a new copy of any string passed to it for use by the widget.

  * Made two global strings for information labels for information on the
    number of bitmaps, pixmaps, unknown files and directories present in
    the current directory to be displayed. Very handy.

  * Removed the Scan directory completely method for a rescan changes
    method. This method is equivelent to the original if the old file_list
    is destroyed before it is called.
