1.0.9 - changed Installation possibilities:
       Install.sh [-cgi] [-strict] [userid]
        - save_config: option for installation of config_files!
          save_config -i [-cgi] <tarfile>
        - renamed fw-rules -> fw_rules
        - fixed bug in "Configuration" Mask ("finger" wasnīt sorted)
        - denied TRUSTED and PERIMETER IPīs on external Interface
          in rules/General.rules
        - logfile now works better with option -s

Hey MIR, Version 1.0.7 is yours 
            :-)
1.0.7   - added option -h (help) to commands
          firewall, fw-rules, create_rules, save_config
        - create_rules:
          added argument <service> to specify which rules are to be
          created (analog to fw-rules)
          e.g.: create_rules telnet   (telnet rules)
                create_rules Firewall (all rules for Firewall)
        - removed double entries in logfile (only 1.+2. command)
        - URL "see logfile" now points to correct logfile log/$ip_cmd.log
        - added "create all rules files" in the "Rules" section
        - General.rules:
          added deny rules for logging before policy deny
1.0.6   - added syntax for ipchains (Linux)
        - setup DENY rules with logging on (ipfwadm,ipchains)
        - formatted output in verbose mode (ipfwadm,ipchains)
        - fw-rules now handles Firewall-service
          e.g.: ./fw-rules Firewall/telnet del
          (execute rules/Firewall/telnet.rules with option delete)
        
1.0.5   - inserted option -s for "firewall" (setup)
          The option -s executes the scripts in the setup-directory instead
          of re-generating all rules from the configuration files
          Usage: firewall -s start
          -> INCREASES THE SPEED OF THE "FIREWALL" SCRIPT BY FACTOR 10 OR MORE !!!           
        - added Syntax for IP-Filter 
        - new scripts: create_rules, save_config
