 1.0 1991-09-07 released to BIX

 1.1 1991-09-18 released to BIX
                added special check for small 64 character CMOSes.

 1.2 1991-09-19 fix spelling errors
                use CMOS.SAV instead of MyCMOS.SAV in examples

 1.3 1991-09-20 now consider fewer bytes volatile, restore more stuff.
                hints in docs about clearing CMOS.

 1.4 1991-09-21 now consider flags Status register C, offset 0C as volatile.
                fixes false alarms.

 1.5 1994-06-01 change of address and phone number
                address now appears in the banner.

 1.6 1994-08-29 more information about how CMOS bits are used.

 2.0 1994-10-01 easier configuration of CHKCMOS volatile bytes.
                smarter bat files.
                docs on different ways to use.

 2.2 1995-04-16 docs on use before experimentation

 2.3 1995-07-24 add 3F as volatile byte.  PCI Pentiums are volatile.

 2.4 1995-08-07 add /Q switch to suppress banners, only complain
                presume installation done to C:\CMP and that files saved there too.

 2.5 1996-01-27 better documentation

 2.7 1996-08-19 treat hex 3F differently in CMOSRest and CMOSChk

 2.8 1996-10-23 POB in Quathiaski address.  Back to C:\SAFE as presumed directory
                lower cost $10, combined site licence.

 2.9 1996-11-12 fix missing com files.

 3.0 1997-07-08 notes on Y2K checking
                notes on separate rescue diskettes.

 3.1 1998-10-23 new address
                Win98 ok note.

 3.2 1998-11-07 slight changes to visuals to conform with standard.
                embed Barker address

 3.3 1999-10-04 document problems with NT
                CMOSREST now does a read to verify that the restore succeeded.

 3.4 2000-05-10 also treat byte 38 as volatile.

 3.5 2001-01-05 also treat byte 30 as volatile at request of Sony.

 3.6 2001-01-08 major simplification to bat files.

 3.7 2001-01-08 treat 0A as volatile for cmoschk.

 3.8 2002-02-15 new mailing address

 3.9 2006-02-05 different pad directories
                explanation of extended CMOS

 4.0 2008-01-02 add PAD, icon, renaming.

 4.1 2008-09-21 clarify use of standand and extended CMOS in docs.

 4.3 2009-03-10 provide ANT build
                refactor into three separate programs with common includes.
                remove all BAT files.
                remove references to BAT files and automatic mode from documentation.
                more information on use with Vista/XP

 4.4 2009-08-05 make offsets 40, 41 and 42 volatile

 4.5 2009-08-11 fix bug in cmoschk that was making it misidentify volatile bytes. Introduced by recent code reordering.

 4.6 2009-08-20 refactor

 4.7 2012-11-25 minor changes to make compile
