WHAT'S NEW in AFE 2.5 3/19/95 (addendum to AFE 2.41 doc)
Internal File Browser:
Added a primative PM internal file browser. If the user does not have a
PM file browser of his own, putting a 0 (zero) in the entry field of the
settings notebook (Viewer Executable tab) will cause the internal browser
to be used. This is called for both viewing archive's member textfiles
and the scan report, should a virus be detected. Note: this browser is
only for viewing plain text files!
The browser is started on a separate thread from the main program. Many
instances of the browser can be supported. It may be left open even after
the parent archive is dismissed as the browser does not keep the file open,
but displays a memory image.
Unlike calling an external browser, if AFE is quit, the browser(s) is
killed.
The display is 75 characters wide by 20 lines. If a line exceeds 75
characters, it is automatically wrapped. We use OS/2's 10 point System
Monospaced font and assume that the user has not removed it from the host.
Standard PM navigation keys are supported, ie; Page Up, Page Down, Ctrl-End,
Ctrl-Home, etc. The view may also be scrolled with the mouse and scroll-
bar. The view may be minimized. Exiting the browser may be accomplished
via double-click of the top left icon, or Alt and C.
Bug Fix:
Found a bug probably introduced in 2.4, where I changed the name of one of
my objects. The bug bit when the user tried to open a true archive file
whose file extension did not match the standard mask (zip, zoo, arj, lzh).
When a successful test of the archive type was achieved and the subroutine
was called to change the caption to "Opening archivename", AFE would
abruptly exit.
This is repaired in version 2.5
