Long:

This program will archive your current MAME installed roms (games) to their
proper file names.  As of V0.30.2 of MAME it has had the ability to read the
roms in their native archived format.  Since their are now 346 game roms I
figured that archiving 346 directories by hand would be a nightmare I wrote
this program to do it for you !


History

° 13-14th Feb :

    ° V1.0 First Aminet release.

° 18th Feb:

    ° V1.5 Now will delete original roms and dirs AFTER completing
      archiving. (Selectable)
    ° Still working on 'ROMs' dir bug...

° 19th Feb:

    ° V1.5 Fixing bugs in Progress Indicator, it doesn't complete
      it's journey and craps out in the end.  :-/
    ° Added code for deleting of archives, and some bugs.  I'm
      trying to remove it.  Will be fixed before release !

° 22nd Feb:

    ° V1.5 Fixed the delete dirs problem.  Now needs 'Delete' to be in
      the 'C' directory...
    ° Progress indicator seems to be fixed.  Still needs more tests.
    ° I have a possible solution to the 'ROMs' dir bug...  Coming soon.


° 26th Feb:

    ° V2.0 Fixed the 'roms' bug that has been bugging (pun intended)
      me for a few days.
    ° You may now archive the roms anywhere you like, including back
      to your original MAME directory.
    ° The program will ignore the following directories:

      ° cfg     : The config's directory.
      ° hi      : The highscore directory.
      ° samples : The directory where all the samples are kept.
      ° roms    : Where the archived roms are stored.

      And not archive their contents.

    ° Progress Indicator is definitely fixed, no more stack errors.
