README FOR WCL 7.70b CSD
------------------------
This package is a Corrective Service Diskette (a.k.a "bug fix") for
WCL v7.70a. The version number is now 7.70b.
Installation
------------
Just copy the new files into the WCL directory, overwriting the old
files of v7.70a. For those who wonder where v7.70a is, the file is
called WINCMD77.ZIP, and is available in the following places;

What is fixed?
--------------
WCL v7.70b fixes a number of bugs in v7.70a, to wit;
[a] not running the AUTOEXEC.CBF file
[b] not running commands in the STARTUP lines in WCL.INI
[c] not expanding the WINDIR reserved word properly
[d] not running the FOREACH command properly
[e] sometimes not changing to the directory of the program being
executed, even if "DO=0" in WCL.INI
All these bugs have now been fixed, and there are a couple of new
commands;
[a] UNLOADLIB - this unloads "orphan" DLLs from memory (i.e., DLLs
which you KNOW shouldn't be in memory because all the programs
using them have been closed, but which are still in memory).
It should only be used by programmers or others who know what
they are doing. If the DLL you are trying to unload is still
being used by another running program, you are CERTAIN to get
a GPF. You have been warned!
Syntax = UNLOADLIB <FILE.DLL>
Example: UNLOADLIB CTL3D.DLL
[b] TEXT2COM - this converts a text (ascii) file into a self
displaying executable file. You can give the converted file
an extension of .EXE or .COM (although it is actually a .COM
file). Because it is a .COM file, the ascii file you are
trying to convert cannot be larger than 64000 bytes.
When the executable file is run, it will ask whether you want
output to the (S)creen or to the (P)rinter. If you output to
the screen,, there will be a pause for a key press after each
screen is displayed.
Syntax = TEXT2COM <ascii file> <file[.exe][.com]>
Example: TEXT2COM help.asc help.exe
Example: TEXT2COM help.asc help.com
