CHANGES

   Date: 01.10.1997 Release: 1.2 Version: 2.19
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   NEWS: - I have written a special ARexx version of this library.
           The RexxConfigFile.library required this library too.

         - The source codes of the two libraries and the extra tools
           are available now. At the Aminet dev/src/ConfigFileSrc.lha.

   - Cleaned up code

   - Rewrote WriteBuffer routines. Speeded file writing about 35%!

   - Rewrote string converting routines.

   - Rewrote cf_FindArgNode() and cf_FindGrpNode() functions.
     Speeded node finding about 20%!

   - Changed default puddle and WriteBuffer size setting to
     dynamic size calculation. The library divides the largest
     free memory block with 100 (Puddle) and 10 (WriteBuffer).

   - Removed special Kick 3.0 version distribution.

   - Rewrote the ReadASCII() part of cf_Read().

   - Removed MEMF_CLEAR flag. cf_Open#?() creates the MemPool without
     this flag now.

FEATURES

   - Small Library

   - Needs not many memory

   - Very fast on a 68000 processor

   - Easy API for programmer

   - Special ARexx version
