Changes from 1.3.1 to 1.4
=========================
o Fixed bug which caused problems with tar files without directory
  indices.
o Added "Convert UID/GID" to main menu - this shows the user name and
  group names corresponding to the user and group IDs of each file.
o Common library now uses Henry Spencer's regex routines (Copyright (c)
  1986 by University of Toronto), which hopefully solves portability
  problems.
o Removed atexit() function call which also has portability problems.
o Corrected slight error in Imakefile.
o Used Youri N. Podchosov's rewritten num_decimal() function which means
  I don't have to link with the maths library anymore.
o Moved the window dimensions to the app-defaults file where they belong.
o Double click in the list to view the file.
o Fixed a bug in file_load() which meant files were not getting closed.
o Two new defines _USE_UTIMES and _USE_GETWD added for awkward NeXT.
o Properly formatted man page, thanks to DaviD W. Sanderson.
o Made fonts and window sizes much larger to compensate for my
  deteriorating eyesight. [Edit them to your liking in the app-default
  file].
o Added a "Save As.." option to text file viewer. Also you can edit the
  file and then save it out (useful?).
o Compiled in multi-coloured University logo on the About... box.

Any problems, contact me,

Rik Turnbull.
