***************************************************************************
Version History:

1/29/08 - version 1.3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* FIXED - Files within folders inside of RAR archives were overwriting other files of the same name in the destination directory

* FIXED - If a file is in the middle of being extracted and something happens (machine dies, PNR crashes, etc) the next time PNR is started it will delete the file.
	
* FIXED - Got rid of "Can't find ListItem" popup message boxes

* ADDED - Ability to skip PAR sets during processing. NOTE: This will not skip the processing if files are in the process of being repaired or extracted.

* ADDED - Minimize to tray as startup option (/min)

* ADDED - If a RAR file set contains a RAR file, it will get extracted to the monitor directory and the "inner" RAR set will be decompressed.

* CHANGED - Password form for RAR files now times out after 30 seconds.

* CHANGED - Moved check for "delete par/rar files when done" option to after a repair rather than before it.

* CHANGED - Par-N-Rar is now portable. All settings are written to a file in the Par-N-Rar directory instead of the registry.


4/9/07- version 1.24
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* FIXED - Par-N-Rar could crash when certain new files are found on subsequent iterations

* FIXED - When the extract directory was a UNC Path (such as "\\server\dir"), Par-N-Rar would show "Extracting" but not actually extract to that server but rather to a folder called "\server\dir"

* ADDED - New option for the current item being worked on to always be in focus

* ADDED - Added Close to tray option which can be disabled so that the close button actually closes Par-N-Rar instead of minimizing it


2/22/07 - version 1.23.3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* FIXED - PNR would crash when dealing with an invalid PAR2 set (created by Unison Newsreader for Macs)

* FIXED - Issue with directories inside of RAR files being extracted wrong (instead of dir/file it would be dir/dir/file)

* FIXED - Issue with using %m/%s as the extract directory when split files are found

* CHANGED - "Could not UnRar" status changed to "Done" to avoid confusion

* CHANGED - Renamed files that have been fixed (ie. file.ext.1, file.ext.2, etc) are now deleted BEFORE extraction if the Delete When Done option is set to save disk space

* ADDED - Window position is now remembered and restored at startup

* FIXED - When a RAR file has a password set, and the wrong password is entered, ParNRar crashes

* FIXED - When a folder is named .sfv or .par, ParNRar crashes

* FIXED - Problems with PNR crashing when extracting PAR files with spaces or dots at the end of their filenames when the destination directory has %s in it. (thanks Miciah for helping with this bug)
