                        *** WARNING! ***

     ELFBACK 2.8 requires at least 2 Mbytes RAM and TOS 1.4+.

                               ***

     Version 2.1 differs from version 2.0 in the following ways:

1)   Fixed touchexit bug in all file select windows.

2)   Switched from 2K to 4K (11 bit to 12 bit) buffer for LZA.  
     Sped up search using HASH table for first byte and self-
     balancing binary search trees thereafter.  (Will still 
     expand old LZA files.)

3)   Replaced RAMdisk; no longer bombs when directory fills up.

4)   Dropped Huffman compression option.  (Will still expand 
     Huffman files.)


     Version 2.2 differs from 2.1 in the following ways:

1)   Can now format 1.44M (High Density) floppies.

2)   Fixed DMA alignment problems for faster floppy I/O.

3)   Switched from 4K to 16K (12 bit to 14 bit) buffer for LZA.  
     (Not compatible with files created by version 2.1)


     Version 2.3 differs from 2.2 in the following ways:

1)   Fixed bug in memory manager.

2)   Now ST compatible.

3)   Uses track buffering for better floppy I/O performance.


     Version 2.4 differs from 2.3 in the following ways:

1)   Fixed bug when file header is bigger than track buffer.

2)   Geneva compatible.


     Version 2.5 differs from 2.4 in the following ways:

1)   Added VERIFY option.

2)   Preserves bad cluster list on floppy during erase.

3)   Fixed bug in RAM manager.


     Version 2.6 differs from 2.5 in the following ways:

1)   Improved compression algorithms.

2)   Added ARCHIVE option.  This allows you to backup to any disk 
     drive, and to write archive files larger than will fit into 
     RAM.


     Version 2.7 differs from 2.6 in the following ways:

1)   Improved the speed of LZA compression.

2)   Changed default extender for archive from BAK to BKP.

3)   Put most menus into windows for better multi-tasking.

4)   Replaced rubberbox file selection with simple mouse drag.
     Dragging the mouse off the edge causes the files to scan 
     down (or up).

5)   Added lists of file extenders (stored in ELFBACK.INF).
     One list is for files to be ignored during backup.
     The other list is for files to be backed up without 
     compression.

6)   Improved error recovery for OUT OF RAM errors.

7)   3D buttons and color icons (with AES 4.0+).


     Version 2.8 differs from 2.7 in the following ways:

1)   Fixed bug in EXT List (RSC file).

2)   Allows wildcards in extender list.

3)   Multitasks during floppy format.
