-
- V2.0ßJ - Well this is a minor bug-fix, didn't had much time to develop
- the unimplemented features yet, but squased some bugs instead.
- - Fixed a bug in the full-screen-editor, when a description was
- imported with ALT-D (Auto describe), and it contained more then
- 18 lines, RAFT would abort with an error, this is fixed.
- - When a new area was created with RACONFIG, RAFT said that it was
- an unused area, now raft (when needed) creates the filebase files
- when they not exist.

- scanned for missing files anymore, when you forgot to insert a

- with some files, this is fixed.

- - Optimized some memory usage.
-
- V2.0ßI - Added a parameter, with /N on the command-line you tell RAFT to

- handy when you enter a huge area.
- - Added a new function in the file-area editor, you can now import
- a description from a DIZ file in an archive, press ALT-D to use
- this function, you can enter de file-name of a DIZ file, default is

- read the doc-file for which external utilitys you need for this
- function.
