VERSION  DESCRIPTION

=======  ====================================================================

1.2      Enhancement:

         Major enhancement in file I/O speed.  Multibyte "burst" mode now

         utilized (CIO modes 7 and 11) with a 1KB buffer.  Previously,

         buffering was also used, but only between read and writes.  Each

         read to buffer and write from buffer phase still used single byte

         get and put routines.



         Enhancement:

         Another small enhancement is that now the program notifies the user

         of the size of the input file.  This is handy while AAC is

         processing and updating how much is completed so far.  Note that

         file size is accurate to within a Kilobyte.  Full byte level

         accuracy is available from SDX, but in the interest of simplifying

         programming, it was decided getting within a KB was sufficient.

         Please also note that XIO 39, which is used to get the file size,

         does not seem to be supported by the current (as of this writing)

         implementation of the PCLink server provided by the Altirra Atari

         emulator.  This means input file size feature may not work on the

         PCL: device under Altirra.  AAC traps the error generated (146)

         when trying to use it on such a device, and will simply skip any

         attempt to ascertain or use such info.  In the event that XIO 39

         capability ever gets implemented in the Altirra PCLink server, AAC

         will use the capability.



1.1      Bug fix:

         Program now works properly after running Sparta Comander.  Thanks to

         drac030 for helping to pinpoint the issue to memory location $B7

         having garbage in it.  Action! uses this location to store which

         channel is used for output routines such as PutE, which do not

         specify a channel to use.



         Misc:

         Added a notice that the program is free software licensed under the

         GPL3 in the MAN file as well as the program title screen.

         Previously this notice was only included in the source code.
