Changes

• Added support for comparing last access dates of the files being compared [issue #37].
• Added support to the Linux build for comparing last status change events of file instead of creation dates, which Linux doesn't support. This option is not supported on Windows. Passing the c, created or creation values to the -d / --datetype command on Linux results in a warning being issued and the last status change date being used instead [issue #39 & issue #41].
• Added further aliases for the -d / --datatype command values [issue #41]. New creation date aliases, beyond those noted above, are not supported on Linux.
• Added further aliases for the -c / --compare command values including arithmetic comparision operator symbols [issue #42].
• Updated the help screen re the changes in this release. Note that the help screen now differs between Windows and Linux builds.
• Refactored code that checks for parameter values.
• Updated the Docs/ReadMe.txt usage section re the changes in this release.
