Agreed, we can be better with the news items. I think some of the more recent posts have been improving along these lines, though. But as we post new news items, we'll try to provide a bit of context for what the program does.
Our news item about WCD 5.2.2 at least explained the "WCD" name as "Wherever Change Directory". But it needs more definition to what WCD *does*: 9/4/12 Erwin Waterlander released WCD 5.2.2 - Wherever Change Directory. Most noticeable is the automatic wildcard expansion is turned off for all DOS and Windows versions. This saves some unexpected behaviour. Support for the Open Watom C compiler has been improved a lot. You can use Watcom now to build all DOS and Windows versions and do installation and create packages, and you can also to build wcd for OS/2 with Open Watcom. Download from http://waterlan.home.xs4all.nl/ The update on Zerofill is better, and provides an explanation to what the program does for you: 9/9/12 Javier has released a minor update to his Zerofill program, which writes zeros on the empty disk space for the selected drive. This helps virtual machine and disk compression programs to compact the volume, and so in reducing its disk usage. Version 1.02 has some code cleanup. Also, the Zerofill webpage has moved to http://nikkhokkho.sourceforge.net/static.php?page=ZEROFILL On Wed, Sep 26, 2012 at 11:05 AM, C.
