{** Changes History (all dates in German format (DD.MM.YY)) }
{ }
{No changes history recorded for versions older than 1.0d8 }
{ }
{Version 1.0d8: }
{ Improved Error checking before trying to read data from }
{ a specific device. Astonishingly this sometimes causes }
{ the cdev to hang where it worked correctly on previous }
{ Versions. }
{Version 1.0d9: 08.03.92 }
{ Addressed the beforementioned problem. Added a call to }
{ TestUnitReady before trying to operate on the device. }
{ Added support for old style (Inside Macintosh Vol. IV) }
{ Partitioning scheme. Not tested yet. The cdev did }
{ definitly crash on such drives in the earlier versions. }
{Version 1.0d9.1: 10.03.92 }
{ Fixed problems with InsideMac vol IV style drives and }
{ revised partition info display. Now the partitioning }
{ scheme is shown when no single partition is }
{ selected. }
{Version 1.0b1: 11.03.92 }
{ Fixed problems during the mount phase and reload }
{ of a driver. Included a call to FlushDataCache }
{ on 68030 machines before calling the new driver. }
{Version 1.0.b2: 17.04.92 }
{ Added color support and changed the way the cdev }
{ does its initial display when first opened. }
{ Also removed the Option-Key from "Start/Stop-Unit" }
{ It now determines for the current id whether to }
{ Start or Stop the unit by calling TestUnitReady. }
{Version 1.0b3: 26.04.92 }
{ Improved handling of update events in main window }
{ (No more flicker when hitting an item) }
{ Added updatehandler for child dialogs. }
{ Ballon help implemented. }
{Version 1.0b4: 01.05.92 }
{ Improved user feedback on keyboard commands }
{ Added display of watch cursor for mount and start/stop }
{ Refined ModalFilter function for child dialogs: }
{ Return and Enter-keys are handled correct now. }
{ Multiple-driver bug addressed (testing will show if it }
{ was fixed). We now look for the ddType field to }
{ determine which driver to load. A corresponding bug }
{ in the CompareDrivers routine fixed. We now compare the }
{ Driver-name in the DCTLEntry^ with the driver loaded }
{ from disk and not with the one already im memory (this }
{ was of course pure bullshit). }
{Version 1.0b5: 07.05.92 }
{ Mount support for old style drivers added which expect }
{ a pointer to the device partition map (type TS) in A0 }
{ on entry. }
{ Minor update bugs in main window fixed. }
{Version 1.0b6: 13.05.92 }
{ Added special case treatment for drivers like FWB's HDT }
{ bunch of drivers. These ones use a special stage one }
{ loader and so driver compare never worked. Added expand- }
{ dable resource of type 'Scas' which contains substrings }
{ to search for in case CompareDrivers failes. If this }
{ substring is found in the driver or loader (we can not }
{ know about it) we'll treat CompareDrivers successfull. }
{ We now pass a pointer to disk block 1 for all drivers in }
{ A0 on calling the driver. HDT drivers rely on this }
{ feature where as most drivers do not. }
{Version 1.0b7: 25.05.92 }
{ Added 'Options'-Button and a pre-version of the Options- }
{ Dialog. Only options-group "Stop-Options" works. }
{ Additional checking before accessing any device included.}
{ Stop-Options: On stop-unit we try to umnount all parti- }
{ tions by default now. If there are partitions busy then }
{ the ones umnounted will be remounted invisible for the }
{ user. }
{Version 1.0b7.1: 31.05.92 }
{ Added balloon help for Options Button and Options dialog }
{Version 1.0b7.2: }
{ Stop-Unit with Auto-Unmount lost watch-cursor cause }
{ PBUnMount implicitely calls InitCursor. We now restore }
{ the wristwatch until the drive has stopped and returned }
{ completion. }
{Version 1.0b7.3: }
{ Implemented mount option with Built-in SCSI driver. }
{ Modified driver to be compatible with old-style IM IV }
{ partitioning scheme. }
{Version 1.0b7.4: }
{ Internal version / new bugs introduced }
{Version 1.0b7.5: }
{ Pop-Up menus in main window introduced. They show all }
{ available HFS partitions on the selected drive. }
{ INIT for mounting Hotkey (without mounting function yet) }
{ Introduced. Communaction cdev/INIT via PPCToolbox in }
{ System 7. }
{ Minor bug fixes }
{Version 1.0b7.6: }
{ PopUpMenu now selectivly mounts the choosen volume. }
{Version 1.0b8: }
{ First version with working mount hotkey. Thus big leap }
{ in version numbering. }
{ Mount hotkey is not yet configurable. Default: }
{ Command-Control-M. }
{Version 1.0b8.1: }
{ Changed the popup menu display to include the total }
{ volume size of each partition displayed. Also show a }
{ check mark for the partitons already mounted }
{Version 1.0b8.2: }
{ Improved appearance on color monitors by using the users }
{ highlight color in certain places. }
{ Bug fixes according to crashes when using the popup menu }
{ feature. }
{Version 1.0b8.3: 27.01.93 }
{ Adding self test for Code-Movement. Remove Control-Track-}
{ king when deactivated. }
{Version 1.0b8.4: 10.03.93 }
{ SCSI-code totally rewritten to be more compact and }
{ also to address potential problems with Virtual Memory. }
{ If Virtual Memory is running we now hold all our buffers }
{ we use during a SCSI transaction. }
{ Finally: a method to configure the hotkey }
{ Animated cursor changed. Now Implemted via a VBL-Task }
{ Removed the option "Unmount only if Option-down". From my}
{ opinion this option doesn't make sense. }
{ Known glitches: }
{ Typos in help balloons. Also: Help balloon do no change }
{ to reflect the changes in the Options dialog. }
{ Some glitches in the display of the hotkey if it is one }
{ of the keypad keys. Still a need to propose the changes }
{ to the INIT. }
{ Potential problems with the driver: Alhough the driver }
{ runs stable and reliable on virtually all tested drives }
{ there still are theoretical problems with virtual memory.}
{ I have tested the driver with VM and never run into }
{ problems but there might be difficulties using VM with }
{ MTE's built in driver because the driver is not }
{ reentrant on an partion level. This will be fixed in the }
{ next ｧ-release. }
{ Another problem arises from the two SCSI busses of the }
{ Quadra 9xx family of Macs. I haven't found any documenta-}
{ tion yet how to distinguish between the two SCSI busses. }
{ so MTE still goes the old fashioned way to assume a }
{ single bus with ID in the range from 0 to 7. }
{Version 1.0b8.5: 14.03.93 }
{ Cosmetic fixes: Item size for displaying the hotkey chan-}
{ ged. Fixed the display of certain hotkeys (all F-keys }
{ on the USS Saratoga*, and others) which were not dis- }
{ played correctly. Fixed "Can't find partioning infor- }
{ mation" bug. Enhanced busy cursor routine now using an }
{ 'acur' resource. (Modify it if you like. MTE will use up }
{ to 10 amination frames defined in the 'acur' resource. }
{ Changed the fileﾕs creator type to 'MﾆEｻ'. }
{ Linked the INIT with a new version of Paul Mercerﾕs }
{ ShowInit to support color icon display at boot time. }
{ No major changes. The whole weekend was dedicated to my }
{ Porsche 914 }
{ 19.03.93 }
{ Updatet the INIT to share the same SCSI code with the }
{ cdev (eg. code being certified VM aware) }
{ Additional checking if A/UX is running. The cdev has }
{ always checked if _SCSIDispatch is implemented. On A/UX }
{ its documented not to be implemented. This worked fine in}
{ A/UX 2.0 and 2.01 (where SCSIProbe blindly crashed, haha)}
{ With A/UX 3.0 things have changed however: The trap is }
{ implemented!! But all it does is calling the SystemError }
{ function. So MTE crashed too. We now do an additional }
{ Gestalt and refuse to run if gestaltAUXVersion is any- }
{ thing but 0. Apple should have left things the way they }
{ used to be. There is no sense in implementing a trap just}
{ to call the bomb dialog (because a program would get }
{ there anyway if it tried to use that trap), but it makes }
{ checking and writing clean code a lot more difficult. }
{ }
{ 29.03.93 }
{ Fixed some problems with the INIT which were introduced }
{ due to bug fixes to the THINK RSRCRuntime.lib I made }
{ according to a TechNote from Symantec. These led to }
{ crashes when the cdev tried to read the Initﾕs current }
{ settings. Now I have fixed Symantecﾕs fixes. These }
{ Symantec supplied fixes are nothing but another bug! }
{ }
{ 15.04.93 }
{ New Version of the SCSI-driver included (V. 3.7) }
{ The driver now is completely reentrant thus addressing }
{ theoriticly possible problems with Virtual Memory. (On }
{ various test none of these problems arose, but were }
{ possible according to Apple information.) These problems }
{ are fixed now. }
{ For the Tech folks: The problem was when the driver }
{ served an I/O request from the File Manager a page-fault }
{ could occur and then the driver would have to be able }
{ to service the VM-Manager request to page logical memory }
{ without forgetting (i.e. overwriting) the context of the }
{ interrupted File I/O. For my opinion this hardly can }
{ happen in real life. There is one strong argument for my }
{ point of view (apart from practical experience): The SCSI}
{ Manager itself is single threaded in its current imple- }
{ mentation. So when the situation statet above (Page fault}
{ during SCSI I/O would appear, the Mac will bomb anyway, }
{ no matter how VM arawre and reentrant the driver is). }
{ Apple itself is aware of this problem and has set the }
{ Device Manager to hold all memory incorporated with the }
{ ongoing I/O transaction in advance. If the SCSI-Manager }
{ were reentrant (thus fully VM-Compatible) they would not }
{ have to do this. But for now we can be shure of: When }
{ the Mac crashes with VM its not my driver's fault, it }
{ might be the ROM. }
{ Changed behaviour of PopUp Menu in main dialog. }
{ With a removable media device in case there is no media }
{ in the device MtE displays a Menu telling "Insert Media" }
{ instead of just doing nothing }
{ }
{ Fixed a few typos in this file. }
{ }
{ Know outstanding bugs: }
{ Sometimes the display in the main window gets confused }
{ and draws some weird boxes instead of legable characters }
{ if MTE encounters an error in SCSI communication. }
{ Some strange things using Norton Utilities with MTE open }
{ were reported to me, but I could not reproduce the bug. }
{ It seems rather unlikely to me having any problems }
{ with a program like Norton. There is only one trap-patch }
{ in the code and this only gets activated when starting }
{ a SCSI driver just read from disk to be more friendly to }
{ old drivers who would cause a system crash under System }
{ 7 if they where loaded without the patch. These drivers }
{ still can be used with Mt. Everything (e.g. one of your }
{ ancient initialized cartridges you haven't used for }
{ years). After installing the driver the patch is removed }
{ immediately and no other program gets CPU time between }
{ installation and removal of the patch. }
{ Balloon help isn't fixed yet and still is somewhat }
{ sluggish. }
{ }
{ Last note: I encountered a bug on a IIci with an 14" }
{ Color Monitor set to 8 bit color depth: On this machine }
{ opening Mt. Everything and clicking on any SCSI item in }
{ the main window dropped me into MacsBug with an Illeagl }
{ Instruction error. Having the window deactiveted an then }
{ activated again, everything worked fine. I was unable }
{ to reproduce this error on any other machine. If you }
{ see this misbehaviour too, please give me a note, and }
{ I'll investigate on it. }
{ }
{ Possible future improvements: }
{ Additional Stop Unit option to eject the drives media on }
{ removable media devices. }
{ Support for large block size foramatted disk i.e. > 512 }
{ bytes per block. }
{ Fix for the Check Disk Bug discussed recently in MacWeek.}
{ Implemtation of the INIT/cdev communication via Gestalt }
{ to be able to change INIT-settings without restart when }
{ running System 6 (6.0.4 at least) }
{ }
{ Final note: }
{ Please don't use the version of MTE found an the Sytem 7 }
{ Utilities CD-ROM published recently. That version is }
{ fairly outdated. }
{Version 1.0b8.6: 09.06.93 }
{ Fixed a bug with the Cmd-Key Popup menu that caused }
{ the menu "Insert media" to appear with non-removable }
{ drives when the drive in question was stopped. The menu }
{ no longer appears with fixed disks. }
{14.06.93 }
{ Fixed a nonproper if-then-else expression which caused }
{ the hotkey to fail when "Use Driver found on disk" was }
{ selected and the hotkey had to load that driver because }
{ it wasn't in RAM yet. }
{ Found a bug in the formac Manager software (Versions 4.0 }
{ through 4.2 were tested) which caused my built-in }
{ driver to use wrong partition boundaries on formac-ini- }
{ tialized cartridge drives. The result is the "Disk is }
{ unreadable" dialog in the finder. This is because formac }
{ stores certain private data in the DataStart and DataCnt }
{ field of a partition map entry thus confusing my driver. }
{ The cdev however uses a more elaborated code to check }
{ for the location of partitions and displays correct }
{ information. This problem will probably be addressed in }
{ the next release. (Since we name Mt. Everything and not }
{ Mt. A Lot of Things.) }
{Version 1.0b8.7: }
{25.6.1993 }
{ Altered the pop-Up menu code so that the additional Item }
{ "All Volumes" only appears if multiple partitions con- }
{ taining HFS volumes are offline. Previously the item was }
{ shown on each drive that contained multiple partitions }
{ of whom at least one was offline. }
{27.06.1993 }
{ Enhanced version of the SCSI-Driver. The new driver does }
{ some additional checking when identifying HFS-partitions.}
{ This should fix problems with formac's Version 4 remov- }
{ able drivers but it is a general reliability enhancement.}
{ }
{Version 1.0b8.8: }
{21.07.1993 }
{ The last enhancement of the driver introduced a severe }
{ bug that caused the driver to report a wrong partition }
{ size and to put false entries into the drive queue. }
{ This led to problems with Disk First Aid (it reported }
{ that the volume could not be read or that the volume is }
{ not an HFS Disk). Worse this bug could destroy all data }
{ on a drive if the user were to select the Erase Disk }
{ command in the Finder on one of the Volumes. }
{ SO DO NOT USE VERSION 1.0b8.7 }
{ Fixed a bug that caused MtE to stop a drive even if one }
{ or more volumes on that drive were busy when the user }
{ has selected the Auto-Unmount and Close Driver options }
{23.07.1993 }
{ Updated Balloon help }
{24.07.1993 }
{ Changed the code in the info Dialog which displays the }
{ partitins on a drive. It used to display partitions in }
{ the order in which they are defined in the partition map }
{ map partition. But since the appearence of the list }
{ imposeses to show things in the order they are located on}
{ the driver I changed the code to do so. }
{ The info Dialog now gives more verbose info when an A/UX }
{ partition is selected. (This information is not always }
{ correct but uses the structures found on the disk as }
{ documented by Apple. The A/UX dp program shows the same }
{ incorrect information.) }
{Version 1.0b9: }
{12.09.93 }
{ Revamped the INIT code. Made it to squeeze 300 bytes of }
{ code. IMO INITS should be as small as possible. }
{ Also changed the code for the options dialog slightly }
{ to make it more compact and more readable (at least }
{ for me). }
{01.11.93 }
{ Finally a limited support for removable media eject: }
{ The Stop-Unit button now tells the drive to allow media }
{ removal before stopping the drive. }
{ }
{Version 1.0b10: }
{12.12.93 }
{ Fixed a bug in the popup - menu code that assigned a }
{ command key equivalent to a partitions menu if the }
{ volume name happened to contain a "/" character. }
{ Changed the appearence of the title Picture and its }
{ hilighting when clicked. }
{ }
{Version 1.0b11: }
{26.12.93 }
{ Revamped the appearence of the header Picture to fully }
{ support multiple Monitors with different PixelSizes to }
{ always display the best looking Pict even when the window}
{ scans multiple monitors. }
{ New feature: The Startup Disk is underlined with a Gray }
{ line. And you can set a different startup disk with the }
{ Boot Disk button. This roughly is the same as in the }
{ Startup Disk control panel. }
{ }
{Version 1.0b12: }
{06.02.94 }
{ Mt. Everything finally runs on A/UX 3.0. }
{ None of our snizzy features is available right now }
{ but at least the main window lists the connected drives }
{ Fixed a bug in the INIT code that caused the crossover }
{ icon we display in case of loading errors to be placed }
{ on the next free icon position rather then on top of ours}
{ }
{ Known bug: When selecting a specific partition from a }
{ device's pop-up menu then Mte will mount all Partitions }
{ of the device instead of only the requested one. This }
{ happens when Mte must install the driver for the device }
{ in order to mount any partition. Once the driver is }
{ installed the popup menu works as expected. }
{27.02.94 }
{ Modified A/UX calls to use undocumented ioctl calls which}
{ work more reliable than the former attempt through }
{ /dev/gd }
{01.03.94 }
{ The pop-up menu now mounts a specific partition from a }
{ drive even if the driver for that drive was not loaded }
{ when the user made the menu selection. (This fixes bug }
{ noted 06.02.94). }
{10.03.94 }
{ The pop-up menu no longer changes the current scsi id }
{ if the mouse is released outside the menu. }
{ Revamped some segmentation issues of the INIT. }
{13.03.94 }
{ Unix support is now fully implemented. At least the Mac }
{ portion of it. There is not (yet) a way to mount/umount }
{ Unix-File Systems. But since A/UX offers commands }
{ to do this it's not such a miss. }
{ There also is no Start/Stop when running UNIX cuz the }
{ Kernel wouldn't like it! }
{ The cdev has now been made multi-segment with all the }
{ A/UX stuff in its own seg since I was rapidly approaching}
{ the 32 K limit the linker insists on. }
{ Brand new About-Box! (this is a major feature in some }
{ commercial packages!) }
{Version 1.0f1 }
{29.03.94 }
{ This is final candiadte 1. }
{ Fixed several System 6 related bugs: The modifiers field }
{ in the event record passed to the cdev seems to contain }
{ garbage. So I test for modifier keys myself when }
{ running system 6. Fixed the dialog autopositioning code }
{ to produce (nearly) the same results when running sys 6 }
{ as when running sys 7. i.e. the modal dialogs now appear }
{ at the same location where they would appear in system 7.}
{ Improved color support. }
{13.04.94 }
{ Fixed some mistakes when displaying partition info for }
{ an A/UX partition (slice number and date). Note that }
{ still the dates may be incorrect. That is because the }
{ impplementation of A/UX does not behave as documented! }
{Verson 1.0f2 }
{01.05.94 }
{ Fixed some typos and added items to balloon help. }
{ Fixed a bug in the SCSI-Transaction code which could }
{ cause an address-error on 68000 macs under certain condi-}
{ tions (Yep, twas a word operation on an odd address. }
{ MC68000s dont like this). }
{ Discovered problems with my old Mac SE which I sold years}
{ ago and which I had the pleasure to get my hands on }
{ recently. That machine is powered by an 16 MHz 020 card }
{ and Mt.ﾊEverything behaves bit strange. It did not crash }
{ but showed wrong information regarding wether a drive is }
{ ready or not. An earlier version which did much less }
{ error-checking than we do now seemed to work better. }
{ Since I had no opportunity to test I only guess my Test- }
{ Unit-Ready somehow fails on that machine. Is it the SE- }
{ ROM? Is it the accelerator card or its software? How does}
{ one tell without Macsbug installed? }
{04.05.94 }
{ Added limited suport for DAT-Drives. Now Mt. Everyting is}
{ able to eject DAT cartridges by mouse click. I did it cuz}
{ I needed it. If anybody can urge strongly for a specific }
{ feature, I'll think about it. (No promises) }
{ }
{ During the meanwhilst [see Monty Python "The Life of }
{ Brian (soundtrack)" for further reference] while }
{ doing a total rebuild on my Porsche 914 (everything }
{ I didn't fix last winter) I started work on Mt. Every- }
{ thing 2. It's a total rewrite in C++ (for the sake of }
{ PowerPC portabilty, not that I like C++ that much }
{ (Someone stated: C++ isn't a standard. Its a moving }
{ target). Features will include: Resizable window, support}
{ for SCSI-Manager 4.3 (i.e. multiple SCSI busses), save- }
{ and printable device information with more info to be }
{ available. It's new, it's OOPs and it will eat lots more }
{ of your RAM and it will be System 7 only. }
{8.5.94 }
{ Fixed a timout problem when ejecting a DAT tape. When the}
{ drive didin't manage to eject the tape within the sup- }
{ plied time the SCSI Manager would lock and the Mac would }
{ hang when doing a subsequent disk i/o. }
{Version 1.0 (first official final release) }
{9.9.94 }
{ After some month of delay due to the hot summer and my }
{ vacancies I discovered a bug while writing the documen- }
{ tation for MTE. Itﾕs the Reload command (option Mount). }
{ This one did not check wether a drive was busy but rather}
{ did close an installed driver from a busy disk and in- }
{ stalled a new copy of the driver. It would do this even }
{ on the disk containing the boot volume or worse the }
{ Virtual Memory backing file! (shudder) Appearently none }
{ of the users tried to do this since I never received a }
{ bug report. But finally this one is fixed. }
{9.10.94 }
{ After just another month being very busy in my job where }
{ I get paid for being busy I added some integrety checks }
{ to the code. Just in caseﾉ The documentation matures. }
{12.10.94 }
{ Added a keyboars shortcut for Reload. Its Option-Shif-R }
{17.11.94 }
{ Removed shortcut for Reload since its not compatible }
{ on international keyboards and one should use it rarely. }
{ Now the modal dialogs handle update events for background}
{ windows (at least for the cdev window) }
{ User documentation is finished. }
{01.02.95 }
{Version 1.0.1 }
{ Fixed a noncrucial bug in the SCSI-Code and made some }
{ optimizations. }
{ Fixed some glitches in ballon help. }
{10.5.95 }
{ Fixed some ugly typos and bad stylistics in the docu- }
{ mentation. }
{Version 1.0.2 }
{04.08.95 }
{ Revamped mechanism to call popup-menu to fix some }
{ spurious crashes encountered while using the feature. }
{ No one did report on this bug but on my own machine }
{ problems occured frequently. }
{18.09.95 }
{ In V. 1.0 I introduced some code to check for modifica- }
{ tions made on certain parts of Mt.E. This was due to }
{ the fact that in a german Mac magazine I once foumd a }
{ Control Panel which was a stolen early alpha version of }
{ Mt.E that had been modified in a way to show a different }
{ "About" picture and a different author. I wasn ﾕt very }
{ pleased to see someone steal my work so I decided to fix }
{ this once and for all. I introduced self checking code }
{ that verifies Mt. Everthing is still the same as it left }
{ my desk and would destroy the running copy if it found }
{ modifications that would not please me, the author. This }
{ has benefits and drawbacks: One of the benefits is a }
{ built-in virus check. If some virulent code tries to hook}
{ into Mt.E it will notice and warn you. The drawback of }
{ course is there are situations where other code modifies }
{ my code: OmegaSANE is an example. This resulted sometime }
{ to Mt.E reporting a modification to one of its resources }
{ and destroying itself where everything was perfectectly }
{ legal. The dog simply was a little too sharp. I revised }
{ this sceme to be more user friendly. Mt.E will no longer }
{ destroy itself but still will give you a warning alert }
{ in case it finds modifications to its own resources. It }
{ is now OmegaSANE compatible. Hackers still will have a }
{ bad time! }
{Version 1.0.3 }
{16.10.1995 }
{ Ported code to compile with Universal Interfaces 2.1. }
{ Here we are back again on compatibility road! }
{18.10.1995 }
{ Fixed some System 6 related problems in screen update }
{ and revamped parts of the overall appearance. }
{ Streamlined the code for Partition info dialog but its }
{ still a mess. This one really needs a rewrite! }
{ Disabled "Stop-Unit" command for A/UX. Was always inten- }
{ ded to be so but in fact wasn't. }
{22.10.1995 }
{ Partition info now is more verbose with A/UX partitions }
{ In case multiple drivers are found on a disk, the default}
{ one now gets marked. SCSI Mgr 4.3 drivers now will be }
{ displayed as such. }
{ Fixed a bug in my UNIX SCSI-code which luckily was im- }
{ possible to ever show on any user's machine but mine! }
{29.10.95 }
{ Added styled display of SCSI standard conformance in main}
{ window. Made this feature switchable. Redesigned options }
{ dialog. }
{10.11.95 through 19.11.95 }
{ Added an discussion about SCSI Manager 4.3 to documen- }
{ tation and overhauled the rest of it. }
{Version 1.0.4 }
{28.11.95 }
{ Fixed a bug being in ever since wich prevented correct }
{ display of volume information on large drive where the }
{ partition examined was beyond 1 GB off the first bock }
{ of the disc. This bug also kept Mt.E to mount a single }
{ partition with the same conditions true. }
{18.02.96 }
{ If a drive has a new SCSI driver installed (Driver43) }
{ then Mt.E would not correctly display this driver as the }
{ active SCSI driver in the drive info dialog. Fixed. }
{31.03.96 }
{ Fixed a bug that caused a dangling selected ID-radio }
{ button in case the current device was shut down and the }
{ user hit update. Then the previously current device would}
{ correctly be dimmed to indicate it no longer available }
{ but it would still be selected. }
{2.04.1996 }
{ The main window now supports resizeable columns! (It was }
{ on my personal long term wish list but I never found the }
{ time to really do it). }
{Verson 1.1 }
{ Decided to skip 1.0.4 but rather release next version as }
{ version 1.1 due to the new features implemented: }
{25.05.96 }
{ The built-in driver now has better support for removable }
{ media devices. If it is used to mount a volume from a }
{ removeable media device it allows users to drag that }
{ volume to the trash w/o getting a Finder warning that }
{ the volume will only show up next restart. It will also }
{ eject the disk or release it if no other volumes on the }
{ disk in question are busy. }
{28.05.96 }
{ Driver now installs a disk-sniffer for removable media }
{ devices to check for inserted disks. If the user inserts }
{ a disk after he/she has trashed the previous one the }
{ driver now automatically mounts the newly inserted disk. }
{ All of the new features of the driver (better handling of}
{ removable media devices, support for Finder drag-to-trash}
{ with checking for other busy partitions, auto-mounting of}
{ subsequently inserted disks fit into less than 100 bytes }
{ of code (72 bytes increase to be exact) so that the }
{ whole driver still is less than 3.5 K. }
{2.06.96 }
{ Made the necessary changes to cdev and INIT to support }
{ new disk-sniffer feature of the driver. Squeesed 5 KB }
{ of unused library code by replacing the supplied version }
{ of the MacOS Interface.lib with my own version. }
{ Updated documetation to reflect the recent changes. }
