+FM/2 3.24 includes a major performance enhancement by moving almost all the file
+scanning onto a background thread leaving the user interface accessible during
+scans. The only negative side effect of this is that expand all runs slower. However,
+I am not sure why anyone would use this regularly on large drives (except me of 
+course to get it working with the scanning changes). This release should also be
+much more stable as we identified several areas (apparently little used) where 
+reproducible traps occurred. We also eliminated a major potential cause of 
+random hard to reproduce traps and hangs when we re-did the scanning code. Some
+tree container cosmetic issues have been fixed including removal of occasional
+blank lines and double enters; fixing CD/DVD drives so they always change icon
+and if needed display name on eject; improved the consistency of the "make top"
+code and fixed it so the container updates on renaming a directory. We also
+fixed the failure to generate multiple real objects (broken in 3.23 my bad), 
+some issues with the direct edit code and fix the directory container compare
+select code. See the history for more details.
