Okay, here it is, version 0.3 of The Romalizer. Here is what's new in
this version:
The Romalizer created dummy files in a zip file for a clone which normally
would not have any ROMs in it, for example tempest2.zip does not need any
files in it, so romalizer creates a dummy file for the zip. If you ran
romalizer on this file a second time, it would think that dummy was an
extra file and ask you to fix the ROMs. This has been fixed so romalizer
now ignores files named "dummy" (with a crc of 0) in the zip file.
I found another bug where The Romalizer would correctly fix a ROM which
had a NO GOOD DUMP KNOWN with an inverted CRC listed in the -listroms
output and then report that the corrected zip was still incorrect the next
time you verified it. This has also been fixed.
Added -l option to send verbose output to a file, that is, output that
normally would be sent to the console with -v is sent to a log file. If,
both -l and -v are used, then output is sent to both the console and the
logfile.
Added -c option to specifiy zip compression level.
Added -C option to specify cutoff value (see below)
Romalizer now only loads CRCs for roms specified on command line, unless
the number of roms specified on the command line is greater than a cutoff
value which can also be specified on the command line.
Added a few more messages to the verbose output.
Format of status report is cleaner looking.
Error messages are now sent to stderr.
Added optimizations when parsing CRC information, and added many comments
to the code.
Please let me know if you have any questions, ideas, comments, problems,
successes, or whatever when using this script.

Chris
