	Change History (most recent first):

		<13>	 2/11/91	ngk		KSM,#B4-MTM-017: Fix initial edition folder to not be prefernece
									folder
		<12>	 1/14/91	ngk		<MM> fix GetLast… case if file is missing.
		<11>	12/14/90	ngk		<VL>In dpCreatePubCB it is now OK if dpPubSync returns fnfErr.
	   								Update SaveOffContainer to use new FspXXX calls and handle
									case of corrupted preference file.  Simplified
									RetreivedLastContainer by using ResolveAliasFile.
		<10>	  8/2/90	ngk		Use DoNotPutInRegister
		 <9>	  7/2/90	ngk		New fields in PubCB. Call EqualString instead of SameBytes when
									comparing files names to see if we already have a control block.
		 <8>	 6/20/90	ngk		Changed CanonicalFileSpec to FSSpec.
		 <7>	 5/31/90	ngk		Moved saving and restoring of last edition used to here. Now
									save alias in preference folder instead of system. When
									disposing of pubCB check if it is referenced by lastEditionUsed.
									Change em globals to a pointer.
		 <6>	  4/7/90	ngk		Now dynamic arrays for app usage info. Use new failure handling.
		 <5>	 3/10/90	ngk		Change VolumeServices to VolumeAttributes. Changed RequestPubCB
									to use dpSameBytes to compare file names intead of
									IUEqualString.
		 <4>	  1/8/90	ngk		fixes
		<2+>	  1/6/90	ngk		Fixed bug in dpRemoveAppsPubCBs
		 <2>	  1/6/90	ngk		Convert to BBS. Fixed bug in dpRemoveAppsPubCBs where edition
									files were not being closed. Renamed routines
	   <1.9>	 11/4/89	ngk		Changed AppRefNum to be a handle to app's globals.
	  <•1.8>	 10/2/89	ngk		Change PubSpec to EditionContainerSpec
	   <1.7>	 9/18/89	ngk		Changed FileSpec to FSSpec
	   <1.6>	  9/7/89	ngk		Added lastVolMod and lastDirMod to support way cool polling
	   <1.5>	 8/29/89	ngk		Fixed bug when using > 2 apps. Change openCount to IOCount
	   <1.4>	  8/8/89	ngk		Now use PubCBLinks for better list managment. qDebug ->
									qRangeCheck shared -> volumeInfo
	   <1.3>	 6/11/89	ngk		Made better use of GetPubCBIndex
	   <1.2>	 5/31/89	ngk		Changed to use Alias manager instead of SofaLinks
	   <1.1>	 5/29/89	ngk		Changed PubCB to have a handle to usage info instead of the
									PubCB being variable size. Factored usage changes into
									dpPubCBbumpUsageCount
	   <1.0>	 5/19/89	ngk		Submitted for first time
