Welcome to recent.library

This is the first release of recent.library, a library
that allows programmers to keep track of recently opened
files to offer users "Open recent file..."-kind menus.
The advantage you get from using this library instead of
a self-made solution is beside the simplicity that the
user will be able to access recent files from Workbench
(as on Windoze).

Features of recent.library are:
- may be FREELY distributed with ANY program that uses it,
  be it PD, Freeware, Shareware or even commercial programs!
- 100% assembler, so very small
- keeps files divided in filetype groups if you have
  several recent lists to keep track of in your program
  (e.g. in a paint program for images, brushes, and palettes)
- number of entries can be set for each group individually
- automatically generates a "recent files" menu for you if
  you wish
- loads and saves recent files lists automatically, you
  don't have to worry about this
- with the upcoming Workbench tools users will be able to
  access recently used files from Workbench/DOpus, sorted
  by application or filetype.
- written by a dedicated Amiga fan who won't jump ship,
  so the development will 100% continue
