+ Added feature
* Improved/changed feature
- Bug fixed (I hope)

------------------------------------
3.0.1.43: FINAL RELEASE
------------------------------------
3.0.0.42
+ added Korean translation
* when recovering file, directory date, time and attributes are preserved
- another large fonts update
3.0.0.41

* changed cdcheck.ini key names for manually setting the font (see Help-FAQ for more information)
- fixed some large fonts problems
3.0.0.38
- minor fix for large fonts
- fixed CRC problem causing false errors (due to string compare working differently under different OSes) 
  => a bit slower CRC reading and requires more memory because CRC file has to be loaded into memory (by parts) and sorted
3.0.0.37
+ command line use returns error number
* critical errors are now counted under Errors (before under Other)
* Application should now resize according to PixelsPerInch number (meaning large fonts should be displayed properly)

3.0.0.35
* translations updated

* source and reference in result window are now aligned using spaces
* changed registration reminder (now once per month with better explanation)
- fixed AV when reference volume label was empty
- if you enter filename with space at the end it will be automatically trimmed (in case anybody had problems with this)
- fixed division by zero if process ended almost immediately after begining
- changes to allow multi-language support
- fixed saving of some text to cdcheck.ini which has nothing to do with options
- on multi processor computers CDCheck works automatically with one processor only 
  (trick to prevent errors since there are some threading issues on multiprocessor computers)

- fixed blocky icon look in Windows XP
3.0.0.30: 
+ added reference directory to statistics
- fixed "Cannot make a visible window modal" message in some rare situations

3.0.0.29:
* CRC file now allows CRLF at the end of the file and between lines
- fixed bug causing sometimes incorrect recovery (files are recovered one folder lower than they should be)
- changed "idle priority" to be unchecked by default (because it causes slow processing when applications using spare CPU cycles like SETI@Home are running)
3.0.0.28:
+ added popup menu to report window (copy selected filename, copy selected error)
* filesize<>read bytes now reports the bytes read and the file size
* improved auto compacting of error messages => improved .crf file loading and error reporting
* improved behaviour of report window (works faster)
- fixed circular buffer problem (incorrectly aligned starting address) which can cause reading to fail 
  with "Incorrect function parameter" under W2K,NT,XP (this seems to be very rare since nobody reported it yet)
- fixed problem of reporting filesize<>read bytes instead of error (due to buffer alignment problems)
- fixed problem when CRC Source directory was without \ at the end
- fixed copy problem when no errors were present
