- Vmake version 3.1 has the following enhancements:
-
- The console window can now follow the Vmake window to public screens.
-
- When Vmake jumps to a public screen, the console window is closed. The next
- time Vmake writes to the console, it will reappear on the new screen.
- Information from the previous console window is lost.
-
- In order to bring about this behavior, the vmake.config file has been altered
- to use a new parameter substitution string, %n, which expands to the name of
- the public screen on which the VMake window appears. CONFIG string 1 becomes:
-
- CONFIG "1" "CON:0/0/640/100/VMake Console/AUTO/screen %n"
-
- VMake now sets the REXX return code in interactive mode (REXXI ON).
-
- If Vmake presents a requester with no options, indicating that a command has
- failed, the error code will be set to the index of the TEXT string in the
- requester. If the requester presents choices, the error code will be set as
- above if the user selects the 'CANCEL' option. If the user select 'OK' or
- the middle button, both of which allow the command to continue, then the REXX
- return code will be set to 0 to indiate success. In addition, if the VMake
- command puts up a file requester and the user cancels rather than selecting a
- file, the return code will be set to a non zero value.
-
- The SET command has been tidied up.
-
- If no symbol name is given in the command, VMake now puts up a requester.
- Also, VMake now deals correctly with symbols whose name starts with an
- underscore (eg _systemsymbol). Any symbol whose name starts with an
- underscore is not saved with the project file, and its value is preserved
- when changing between projects. With version 3.1, Vmake no longer issues
- the requester "File has been changed, save?" as a result of updating such a
- system symbol. The requester does appear if a symbol that will be saved with
- the project has been set or altered.
