New packages - now in RAR format due to multiple requests to drop 7zip.

Decided to do this update early due to some critical compatibility issues.

Fixed compatibility issue with Dopus 416 and certain 3.1 ROMS.
When a disk is busy, being formatted or not recognised (NDOS) its icon doesn't default back to the original Commodore 2-colour effort. Now uses a replacement.
Shell directory feature added to popup menus – open the path of a windows drawer directly into shell.
Floppy Disk Caching program added under tools menu (Enable FDC).
Personal Paint added to non-P96 packages.
Perfect Paint replaces Personal Paint in P96 version (better RTG support).
Dopus 416 - missing .CLA file added and undergone a big update.
Dopus IconInfo command changed so it’s compatible with newicons.
Dopus buttons altered – big improvements.
KCon (shell replacement) now has a close button on the window.
Changed the Scalos Prefs to "Mac selection" (no need to hold shift to move multiple files) and un-checked "non mask click" (transparent areas on newicons are still selectable).
Optimised some icons – should load slightly quicker.
Tidied “Icons” drawer in ADVSP version to reduce the folder size.
Removed TopazPatch from ADV/SP/P96 due to compatibility issues.
Replaced some prefs programs with MUI versions in ADV/SP/P96.
Updated and added more archive .exe files to directory c.
Improved startup-scripts for 3.1 users.
Edited some stack values for improved safety with certain programs.
Various script and menu enhancements.
Changed TUDE window back to icons. List mode caused some issues.
Changed download packaging to pre-3.0 RAR archives, which are supported in a wide range of OS formats including the Amiga.
