DOWNSORT VERSION 5.7
■ A 32-bit version (OS/2 2.0+ only) added to runtime package, no
functional differences with the family version.
■ ICON file DOWN386.ICO added for the 32-bit version of Downsort.
■ Long areanames (8 characters) are now supported in all reports.
■ Changed naming convention of 'FILES.BBS' output files when area's with
'long' (more than 3 character) names are used.
■ The "FILES.BBS"-type of output (selected with FILFileList in
Downsort.Cfg) now produces a slightly different header. Downsort
recognises its own header and an included-file without
'multiplication'-effects.
■ Explicit path specifications of files in FILES.BBS are now supported.
As a consequence:
∙ The long format of OK-FileList will contain this explicit path in
stead of the filearea path.
∙ It seems more appropriate to list the pathspec in the DUP-FileList
rather than the file description.
Generic filenames (wildcard specifications) are NOT supported
(yet)!
■ File size and date can be included in FILES.BBS output with the '-L'
option on the FILFileList line in Downsort.Cfg.
■ A new keyword 'NonDupEXT' allows suppression of reporting a file as
'duplicate' when it is a member of a pair of files with specified
extensions. Example xyz.SDN and xyz.SDA can be excluded from
DupFileList.
■ Doc-file now also included as provisional .INF file for OS/2 VIEW.
■ Improved Avatar stripping.
■ Bug fix for long 'new'-filelist periods (>32000 days).
■ Separation between progress signals (stdout) and error messages (stderr)
and other 'internal' changes:
■ Preparations made to remove most commandline parameters. It has been
redundant for a long time. Every Downsort specification on the
commandline can also be made via Downsort.Cfg. Exception: Specification
of a configuration file will remain possible! Good arguments may change
this intention, so please object if I am overlooking something.
