	What's New?
	-----------

New HTML title engine, enclosed as a seperate unit.
Much better handling of webpages.
Windows shortcuts fully implemented - you can now 
place your master index in the start menu or on the 
desktop without any special 'Windows' skills.

	What IS "Bacon Weblister"?
	-----------------------

Bacon Weblister allows you to create links to all of your saved webpages 
without having to name the links individually yourself.
Basically it reads the TITLE tag of each page and uses this text as 
the text for a link in an index page.
As of this version, you can index the whole of your hard disk with 
one click, using the 'automatic subdirectory indexing' feature.
This means that if you have 2,000 saved webpages on your computer 
you can create a means of accessing them without doing any hand-coding 
at all.

The extended functionality of the program is for ZIP archives and MP3
music: zipfiles' contents are listed (optionally), and MP3 files can 
have their 'ID3' tags read. Optionally the program can prompt the user
where HTML <TITLE> and MPEG 'ID3' tags are not found, and then write 
the tags in automatically, so that the next time the program is run 
on the folder containing the files, the user will not have to be 
asked again. Basically this means you can use the program as an ID3 
catalogueing tool as well.

The other feature is the ability to remove 'read-only' status from 
files on your hard disk(s); this is useful for when you go to 
defragment your disks - read-only files cannot be moved by defrag, 
and this impedes its effectiveness. Running the read-only removal 
routine on your disk as a whole (using auto-subdirectory option)
will drastically improve the performance of defrag on your system.
An example of when read-only files will be present is for files 
copied from CD-ROMs, such as graphics, sound, or even program files.
