---------------------------------------------------------------------
          Corrected problems in version 1.01:

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

          1. Renaming files
             It's now possible to rename a file to a name that only
             differs by case. 

          2. ISO 8859-1
             The product now supports the character table ISO 8859-1.
             This means that any western characters, e. g. Swedish å,
             ä, and ö are supported. 
 
          3. Moving subdirectory to root
             The filesystem was previously corrupted if you moved a 
             subdirectory to the root directory.
             This could only be noticed if you ran a scandisk on a locally 
             attached drive, i.e. normally you wouldn't notice the 
             problem.
   
          5. Format
             It's now possible to format an unknown disk without
             specifying a label.

          6. It's now possible to use a short disk name in disktool.txt, 
             even if a long disk alias name is specified.

          7. Deleting a lot of files
             There was a problem in the 1.00 firmware which sometimes
             caused the server to report that a directory was empty
             although there still were files in it.
             If you tried to delete such a directory, the symptom was 
             either that you were denied access or that the deleting 
             process was very slow. It should typically take about 
             11 min to delete a directory with 2000 files. 

          8. Stat.txt
             In the file for statistical information we used to present how
             long an SMB user had been logged on to the server. We now
             instead present when he last accessed the server.

          9. The config and volumes directory
             These directories are no longer reached from the share list. 
             The administrator reaches them by mapping to the root directory. 

          Known problems in version 1.01:

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

          1. Intensive use from several Windows clients and Web browsers
             When the server is heavily loaded by requests over both SMB 
             and HTTP at the same time, the server might run out of memory
             and stop working. In that case upgrade to at least 6MB of RAM
             memory in the AXIS StorPoint HD for Jaz.

          2. Formatting
             It is only possible to format 1GB Jaz disks.

          3. DAVE client v1.0.1 for Macintosh
             With v1.0.1 we only support 8+3 file names. With v2.0 and
             later we support long file names.
