    * "MSGA *sq" changed to "HAREA ha" in struct _msgh
in msgapi.h as per
    SQDEV200.  Other changes made accordingly.  This shouldn't break any
    applications unless they access _msgh directly (they shouldn't).

    * Added pragma to pack.h/unpack.h to stop Borland C++ 5.3 complaining
    about structure    packing.

    * SquishFillBaseHeader() optimised.  The basename is no longer written
    to the .sqd file (there is no rationale for doing this and it only
    adds confusion later if you rename the file).

    * In SMAPI 2.x, the FTSC date field of a message would be generated
    if none was present.  This is not the purpose of the field.  It
    should only be filled when a message is tossed into the base, and
    otherwise set to nul.  Squish applications should use the binary
    timestamps (date_written and date_arrived) instead.  Please read
    SQDEV.PRN (part of SQDEV200) for more information.  This code has
    been removed from sq_write.c.

    * Bug fix: changed "typedef int bits;" to "typedef
unsigned int bits;"
    for __TURBOC__ and moved to typedefs.h.  Changed "typedef int bit;"
    to "typedef unsigned int bit;"

    * XMSGAPI_VERSION define now located in src\..\VERSION.

    * LITTLE_ENDIAN no longer assumed in GNU C UNIX makefile.

    * Removed HISTORY file.

    * XMSGAPI 1.5 released.
