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

+   * Changed Packer to accept PackFile instead of FILE*.  PackFile is
+     a thin wrapper around FILE* which shouldn't affect other c++ code
+     (it allows coercion to and from FILE*), but prevents Python code
+     from passing file objects to Packer.  The latter is necessary,
+     since under windows Python is currently built with MSVC 1200, and
+     SimData is built with MSVC 1310+.  The runtime libraries for these
+     two versions of MSVC are incompatible with respect to certain FILE* 
+     operations, causing segfaults.  Using PackFile ensures that FILE*
+     are created and used only by the MSVC 1310 library when dealing
+     with data archives.
+ 
+   * Started adding new data type unit tests.  Key and some SimDate
+     tests so far.

    * Removed Pack.cpp from the vcproj file.
