PROGRAM HISTORY
- Release : 22-Nov-92
Copyright ⌐1991-1992 Chris P. Vandierendonck, [AmiSYS].
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since v2.10, DirKing is released as shareware. All previous
versions were only used privately. Here's a brief description of
DirKing's history :
v2.10 -> SHAREWARE
~~~~~
o Major rewrite of v2.00.
o First version released as shareware.
o The scanning process and the internal management of the
directory data has been improved.
o Many v2.00 features have been enhanced :
- path|pattern now supports the use of recursive paths, and
also deep level pattern matching (allowing to specify
patterns for each directory level). The pathpatterns can be
made effective on both files and directories, files only or
directories only by making use of the FD-options.
- READ, PASS, SUB now can handle upto 32 patterns, or upto 96
when FD-options are used.
- SINCE, UPTO also support the use of FD-options. The
conditional date can now be specified by its name, rather
than giving the exact date in the usual dateformat.
- INCL, EXCL are now used as they should be. Some new fields
were added.
- HEAD now defines both listing header and listing end
information. New codes were added.
o Numerous new features were implemented :
- PATH makes sure DirKing recognizes the path string as the
path and not as an argument keyword.
- FROM..TO enables filtering on the first character of the
file- or directoryname. Also supports the use of the FD-
options.
- DESC makes descending sort possible.
- FD|DF|MIX defines where in the listing the files and
directories should be printed.
- FULLPATH forces DirKing to construct the full path name to
the scanned directory (or file).
- DISKINFO gives 'Info' like information instantly.
- DISKID enables printing a DiskID string or any message in
the listing header.
- NEWPAGE gives several functions for paging the listing.
- PRT allows listing output to printer.
- TO allows listing output to any destination.
- MULTI enables scanning of several directories in a row.
- LFORMAT enables free listing formatting. Normally used for
generating scripts.
o Some options have been changed :
- TRACE replaces the 'INFO' keyword.
- MINLIST replaces 'BARELIST' keyword.
- MAXWIDTH function has been slightly changed.

- EXPAND replaces 'NOEXP'. Now the listing doesn't use the
full width by default.
- DATES replaces 'DATEHIST'. Now by default some dates are
replaced by their name, or another date name.
- LISTORD replaces 'LISTFORM' keyword.
- DFORMAT replaces 'DATEFORM' keyword.
- TFORMAT replaces 'TIMEFORM' keyword.
o The following option has been removed :
- OPT was removed since it wasn't of any use (it had no
resemblance to the AmigaDOS 'Dir' command option).
- NOEXP removed by the 'EXPAND' option.
- DATEHIST removed by the 'DATES' option.
v2.00 -> PU
~~~~~
o First version developed with the excellent M2Amiga Modula-II
development system. It resulted in a much more reliable,
faster and user friendly program.
o The concept of DirKing has undergone major changes, giving it
more power and flexibility than the previous versions.
o All arguments are new, and more powerful than in the previous
versions.
v1.00 - v1.10 - v1.20 -> PU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These versions were programmed in a prehistoric language. Major
mistake!
