SOFTWARE ISSUE NOTES
────────────────────
These notes document changes to UPCOPY at each issue.
Issue 1.0
─────────
1. This is the first shareware issue version.
********* ISSUE 1.0 FROZEN ON 4-MAR-94 **********
Issue 1.1
─────────
2. Small changes to nagware. Installation altered slightly.
********* ISSUE 1.1 FROZEN ON 8-MAR-94,15-MAR-94 **********
Issue 2.0
─────────
3. UPCOPY now ignores files which are system but not hidden. It will
also skip read-only target files with a message unless a new option /r
to over-write read-only files is specified.
4. A bug with explicit use of *.* with directory specifiers has been
fixed.
5. The /y option will now output explicit information showing any
copy that has taken place.
6. A file that is new is now marked as such explicitly by a message
in the corresponding 'blank' of the other directory.
7. Options /n to only process new files and /-n to only process
common files have been added.
8. The default of asking to compare text files over-ridden by /-c has
been changed to a default of not asking to compare over-ridden by /c.
9. Files are now identified as text or data (before the compare
question if /c is specified). The compare question is always asked
even for data files.
10. The question to erase a new file if it is not copied is no longer
asked unless a new /e option is specified.
11. A new /o option brings up the question to overwrite of new with
old (if the overwrite old with new question is refused).
********* ISSUE 2.0 FROZEN ON 5-APR-94 **********
Issue 2.1
─────────
12. A bug has been fixed which caused the /y option to override /f.
In other words new or newer files were copied both ways in forward
automatic mode, whereas they should have just been copied from the
first to the second.
13. In the HELP summary the options now come up as well.
********* ISSUE 2.1 FROZEN ON 02-AUG-94 **********
Issue 3.0
─────────
14. UPCOPY will now create a destination directory that does not
exist with a prompt or informative message.
15. In order to add new facilities with sensible option letters the
options have been changed as follows:
/C (formerly /-N) Only processes common files and ignores new files.
/D (formerly /C) Differencing. Asks if you want to compare
files if they are different.
/I (formerly /D) Information only. Just compares directories without
copying.
/Q (formerly /-D) Quick and quiet. This suppresses a lot of
information and does no checks after copying.
/S (new,registered Processes subdirectories too. (You can use /S with
only) /I for the Shareware version.)
The /N option (new only, and not more recent) and /C option
(common files only) now show directory information for any files
skipped.
16. UPCOPY will now copy and update zero length files.
17. The registration fee has been reduced from £30 or $45, to £10
or $15. It's now possible to register via GO SWREG on Compuserve.
********* ISSUE 3.0 FROZEN ON 01-JUN-95 **********
Issue 4.0 - Windowed interface
─────────
19. UPCOPY with no parameters now invokes a standard DOS windowed
interface with scrolling, scroll-back, mouse support and so on.
With parameters the old style batch type streamed i/o is invoked.
The /b batch option and /w window option have been added so that
the mode of operation can be directly controlled.
20. Windows support has been added. There is a windows PIF file,
a windows recorder REC file, an icon, and detailed windows
installation instructions.
