+    Revision history:
+
+   14. 2006-01-05
+       Updated impersonation so that use of image files stored on network
+       drives work on Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2 and
+       Windows Server 2003 SP1.
+
+   13. 2004-06-09
+       Small fix in file size handling.
+
+   12. 2004-05-27

+
+   11. 2002-11-30
+       Added ioctl to query information about mounted disk image files by
+       request from developer of GUI.
+
+   10. 2002-11-24
+       Added a check so that FileDisk doesn't use compressed or encrypted
+       images. For an explanation why this doesn't work see comment in the
+       source code.
+
+    9. 2002-08-26
+       Corrected the share access for read-only FileDisk images.
+
+    8. 2002-08-11
+       Updated the control application to support UNC paths.
+       Changed the handling of CD-ROM device objects to avoid some problems on
+       Windows XP.
+       Corrected the handling of file sizes so that FileDisk images can be
+       sparse files.
+
+    7. 2002-02-28
+       Added support for CD-images.
+
+    6. 2002-01-21
+       Added support for impersonation so that FileDisk images can be stored
+       on network drives.
+
+    5. 2002-01-18
+       Updated for Windows XP by Robert A. Rose.
+
+    4. 2001-07-08
+       Formating to FAT on Windows 2000 now works.
+
+    3. 2001-05-14
+       Corrected the error messages from the usermode control application.
+
+    2. 2000-03-15
+       Added handling of IOCTL_DISK_CHECK_VERIFY to make the driver work on
+       Windows 2000 (tested on beta 3, build 2031). Formating to FAT still
+       doesn't work but formating to NTFS does.
+
+    1. 1999-06-09
+       Initial release.
