Welcome to this upgrade to KingFisher: KingFisher 1.40! This is the first
release since 1.37 and is primarily aimed at fixing some ARexx problems.
In particular, please note the following:
1. SEARCH RANGE 123-456
ARexx will interpret 123-456 as a subtraction. Enclose it in quotes to
force ARexx to handle it properly:
SEARCH RANGE "123-456"
With a user-entered variable this is unnecessary.
2. SEARCH RANGE 123-456
This version of the SEARCH RANGE command was totally broken in the past.
Any troubles you had with it were my fault and not yours. I apologize
for any frustration or inconvenience on your part.
3. SEARCH MODE TITLE
Some problems existed with this command, especially in conjunction with
SEARCH CASE IGNORED and possibly selected SEARCH RANGE.
4. Be advised that SEARCH MODE TITLE implies (and NOT in ARexx only!) that
boolean expressions are not used in the evaluation of the search string.
This means that you would apply a dual set of quotes to a string when
you search a description (because it would be evaluated as a boolean
expression) and you supply at most one set of quotes when you search
only the titles. An example is shown in the AREXX section of the .guide
(manual) file, under the heading of the command SHOW.
5. The default for the AddFishReportFile has been altered to apply
/WAIT/CLOSE to the console window. This can (and will) allow you to
catch any error messages that KingFisher might print there before the
window closes. If you are still using KS 1.3 then you should change
this console window to a file in RAM:
Naturally, everyone should fix their KingFisher.prefs files to
include those switches, as KingFisher will not alter them after they
already exist in the file.
6. In addition to the strings "CONTENTS OF DISK" and "THIS IS DISK" the
string "NEW/AMIGALIBDISKS/DISK" is now also accepted as starting a
disk's description. This addition helps those who use Fred's newer
listings, mostly associated with his "Fresh Fish" CD-ROM.
Please see the HISTORY section in the .guide (manual) file for further
details on changes since the version that you have been using until now.
>>>>> If you do not have a previous version of KingFisher installed, then
you can find previous versions on the same ftp site or BBS where you
found this file. In particular, Aminet ftp sites should carry this
and previous files in the .../aminet/fish/ directory. You can also
find a complete distribution (version 1.30) on Fred Fish's disk #861.
