-
- V1.0: First working version. Isn't really very fancy. Makes screen
- messy with some kinds of texts! This is assembly code!
-
- V1.01:
- Almost completely rewritten from V1.0. Doesn't add anything but
- is more reliable and supports line breaks. Assembly code!
-
- V1.02:
- - Cuts rows down to 23 characters, so AutoRequest() doesn't have to
- use DisplayAlert() instead of Requester. This happened only
- with very long commandlines with lots of line breaks.
-
- V1.1:
- - Supports redirection files (up to 2000 bytes long).
- - Better error detection.
-
- V1.11:
- - Support for just one BOOL-text added. Copies the first text to
- second one.
- - Now cuts rows to 15, because of NTSC compatibility.
- - Includes perfectly working commandline parser. Almost as good
- as C languages have.
-
- V1.2:
- - Text centering option added.
- - DisplayBeep option added.
-
- V2.0: 09.01.-91
- - First version written in C. All routines have been reconstructed!
- - All kinds of display limitations have been removed. Now supports
- overscan displays and is both NTSC and PAL compatible.
- - DisplayBeep option repaired. Now beeps only the ActiveScreen.
- - Large screen support added (optionally). Now supports screens larger
- than visible screen display.
- - Force width and height options added.
- - New FrontPen color option added.
- - Now supports redirection files of almost unlimited sizes. These are
- really limited only by your largest memory chunk available.
- - Some nasty logical bugs corrected!
-
- Still to do:
- - Support for user fonts.
- - Support for BOLD, Underline and Italics.
- - Switchable options in texts. Something like Center_On and
- Center_Off.
- - Ability to use '"' and '\' characters in texts. At the moment they
- are considered as control codes.
-
- - Anything else??
