+@ Proof of concept for the introduction of logging warnings to a file. This is
+primarily for the benefit of people using Windows without an attached debugger.
+Before this is merged to development it should allow the person using Typica
+more control over if this should be enabled (by default it should not) and

 @ \pn{} 1.4 introduces the ability to use icons in certain interface elements.
 Some commonly desired public domain graphics are provided by the Tango Desktop
 Project. We also set an application level default window icon.
