- (Andreas Tranquillini)
- * Sorting has now been implemented ! (various requests)

- too! The following 4DOS variables will be taken into account:

-
- I had to change Date & Time Formats into DateAndTimeFormats to appease

-
- * Recursive-directory-search-bug fixed.
-
- Version 1.81
- ------------
-
- * more generous directory search:
- . scans directories with suffixes too, e.g. foo.bar.
- (It is in my opinion a bad habit to add suffixes to directories,
- that's why I've not included this into the search list in previous
- releases. Furthermore it slows down the search process.)
- . searches now trough directories with the hidden/system bit set
- (someone pointed out this possibility)
- * uses now DESCRIPT.PAS to search its descriptions.
- * range bug eliminated.
