Corrected man pages. ! Fixed a compilation error on the systems without 'warn' * scat no longer says about key '-?' for help, when used, it will be most likely understood by shell. # configure has slightly changed for better verbosity. ! Fixed a compilation warning about conflicting MAX_PATH 2003-01-23, 1.0.0 Senna <Senna@mail.rcom.ru> ! Fixed empty line which would appear in 'x' mode on console with 80 symbols. (Actualy, output is now 79 symbols long) + Added -S option. + Added -H option. + Added -L option. + Added -r option. ! Fixed a bug when scat will not restart numbering with -N key for several files specified with -i option. 2003-01-20, 0.1.6 Senna <Senna@mail.rcom.ru> * Slightly changed source code format. ! Fixed help screen allowed keys. + Added -N option. * Fixed several grammar mistakes in man page. + Added -i option. + Added -l option. 2003-01-17, 0.1.5 Senna <Senna@mail.rcom.ru> !

If someone need, I can emulate fprintf and so :) + scat will now inform about errors. However, this is only supported only on systems with 'err.h' (and warn() functiom) present. # ./configure --disable-sockets will disable sockets support. + Added -q option. 2003-01-14, 0.1.4 Senna <Senna@mail.rcom.ru> !
