NOTE:
The way extended description were handled has been revamped. Prior to this
release, every extended description required 950 bytes of hard drive space rather
the description required it or not and was limited to 19 lines. This version now
allows up to 99 lines of 50 chars each and will only require space for the
actual characters utilized plus one byte for every line in the description.
For example: "This is a great file" would only require 20 + 1 byte or 21 bytes
of harddrive space verses the old minimum of 950 bytes.
