COMMAND COM IS A PEICE OF FUCKING cyberSHIT :
        if you use command.com please a) shoot yourself in the goddamn head
        or b) get 4dos >>>>>>>>>>NOW<<<<<<<<<<<<...

■ NOTE : As of this version you will have to cyberNUKE your old config file...

If you can't figure the goddamn thing out go shoot yourself.
Lots of ideas borrowed from Superiority Complex after I saw their ThunderShell,
which was neato, so I borrowed some ideas and made some better and some simpler
(read as worse :).  Like the file list is better, more formats are supported,
and it has my name on it.  :)  They used SWAP or some thing I read in the DOX
to do their EMS/XMS swapping...this is a possibility for either this version or
the next depending on how much importance I place on this little feature.

                          ─═■Revisions to date :::■═─
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
00.020 -  Fixed bug that made LameShell skip dirs with the archive bit set.
          I, for the life of me, cannot quite comprehend why anyone would have
          the fucking archive bit set on a dir...but sure as fuck...some of the
          dirs with my mods have the archive bit set...I just reset them the
          other day with DiskEdit and wondered how the fuck they got set...
          Oh well, go figure.  Anyways, I fixed it.
00.021 -  Changed the string input routine from shitty cgets() to a self-made
          function that works a LITTLE better.
00.022 -  Now you can have more than one argument on the command line for the
          players.  :)  Oops.
00.023 -  Added file size display.  Changed colors of │ and made it a │ instead
          of a |.  Which looked icky.  Also, now clears screen after return,
          something RMP made me aware of.
00.024 -  Added a file list swap out to disk...saves a whole 3k of memory in
          many cases allowing you to play much bigger mods.  Really a worthwhile
          use of my time.  To think I could have been jerking off instead of
          coding it...*sigh*
00.025 -  Added LS.COM for swapping the shell out of memory.  This is not lame
          because (a) i didn't steal someone else's routines to do it (b) i
          don't know how to do ems/xms/disk swapping of a program (c) norton
          commander and a shitload of other programs way cooler than this do
          the same thing.  So fuck off.
00.0251-  Added ≡£│τε∩Σ√ (Éliteness)
          │τ's Æ∩∩φy│ng Æs hÉ££ ßuτ τhÆτ's why │ did │τ.  τhÉrÉ │s Æ mÉssÆgÉ τφ
          ßÉ fφu∩d │n Æ££ τh│s.  ßε É£│τε.
00.0252-  Got annoyed.  Removed it.  Sigh.
00.0253-  Put in a eccentric status display...
00.0254-  Put in a "Scanning for Modfiles" thingy...
00.0255-  Tweaked _heaplen and _stacklen in LS.COM so it uses less memory.
00.0256-  Set _directvideo=1 for the hell of it.
00.0257-  Fixed a little bug with the swap files.  ($ls$.### files)
00.0258-  Added format checking...now files that are not supported by the
          selected player are low-lighted.  How utterly useful.  P.S. your old
          config file will have to be nuked in case you hadn't guessed.  Damn,
          huh?
00.0259-  LS.COM now clears the keyboard buffer after a return from the .MOD
          player...in case you hit ESC one too many times.
00.02591- Added my dick.
00.02592- Added NFO screen that shows info about the modfile being played and
          stuff...channel information not yet added (duh)...comments will be
          displayed sometime in the future when I can find decent format infor-
          mation for the different formats...maybe...
00.02593- Speeded up fades...
00.025931-Changed scanning status screen a bit...
00.025932-Various internal changes...
00.025933-Added player validation that looks for the player .EXE file in the
          PATH and tells you if it's not there and stuff.
00.025934-Added changing to the dir of the .mod file and playing ... now it
          works with players like GLX that don't like a full pathname.
00.025935-Added default player..so the last selected player will be the one
          that is highlighted when you come back and when you run the shell
          again.  You will have to nuke your old config file.
1:Added link files...now you can have a .lnk file pointing to a mod
           file in another directory...makes for much better organization of
           your mods...without having multiple copies of mods you can have
           them grouped in as many ways as you want and use only like 200 or
           less bytes to do so...neat, eh?  Use makelnk.exe to create these
           links...yes it's a simple program but fuck who cares. yer gonna
           have 2 nuke your old config file again...
2:moddir.exe-creates a 4dos descript.ion file for all recognized formats..
3:command.com-made it work with command com...worked fine on my system for
  all the time...but i used 4dos and didn't realize what a totally
  worthless peice of SHIT command.com was.
4:ls.diz-added an ls.diz file ... look at the example...so you don't have to
  re-describe all your dirs every time you nuke the ls.dir file...
5:error handling-improved error handling
6:20 players-changed # of players to 20
7:-config:can now set an option or two (one for now) by typing 'ls -config'...
8:exityn-asks you if you want to fuggin exit...ju ju dam fuk
9:um...added a help screen (like you needed one) hit 'h' to see it and shit.
10:'d' now shells to dos and stuff
11:'emd' file support added...might be a bit off on the title start offset since
   i only had 'horizon.emd' to play with...
12:'f1' or 'a' or 'A' now activates the screen saver...yes its the nin downward
    spiral cover. :)
13:added more formats...check 'da list..
14:'w' now makes a 'descript.ion' for the current dir...
15:can automagically make the above...check out -config...means you'll have ta
   nuke yer ls.cfg tho... :(
16:added cool fades and shit which you can turn off with -config as usual
   have to nuke your ls.cfg :) sorry...
17:removed screen saver...maybe i put in bak in l8r
18:made out with my girlfriend which gave me a great idea, 'z' now saves the
   current dir list and descriptions to ls.diz...(actually, now that i think on
   it that really had nothing 2 do with her...anywayz)
19:um...del nukes files...so duz 'd' or 'D' ...
20:read scenial mag and giggled becauz i have seen picturez of lord cyrix and
   hearing him talk about his studliness is funny...also got the new farm-egg
   pack and listened to it...maelcum is just so k00l...i wish i could get him
   2 do musix 4 alt-1... :( at least batteryacid is a better reader than
   dissonance...dammit..ju ju dam fuk.
21:realized that putting 'cyber' in front of things makes them seem more
   complex.  cyber cyber.
22:added cybercompression cyberarchive cybersupport...for players like DMP
   and Midas that unpack archive...I'm not going to add archive support...
   if you want it go find my old ModShel...
23:ok i added simple arc support for RAR, ZIP, and ARJ.  shut up.
24:re-compiled with borland C++ 4.0 so the .EXE is now larger, horks more memory
   and runs slower.  thank you borland. eat me.
