GLEDIT Version 2.1 Modifications:
Please submit your ideas. If you have problems that I do not encounter, the
only way to get them fixed is to let me know about them.
1. Some uploaded descriptions of GLEDIT listed the version number as 1.0
when, in fact, that version was 2.0, as reflected in the help screen.
2. It has been requested that GLEDIT provide a way of making the changes
without prompting so that the program can be executed unattended.
Although this could be very dangerous, I have provided an option to
accomplish this. If you use it, please be very careful that the
command line is entered correctly and that only the files you want
modified will in fact be modified. The only way to stop the program
once it starts will be with CTRL-BREAK. Even then, a file could end
up damaged, though not likely. Make sure you have BREAK=ON in your
CONFIG.SYS file.
I have added a /Y switch which automatically replies Y to all prompts.
3. So that a quote (") can exist in the search string or the replace string,
I accept \q (not \Q) in place of the quote in within the string.
4. Due to popular demand, I eliminated the wait time for the reminder menu.
Version 2.1a:
Version 2.1a is identical to version 2.1 except fo the registration
reminder screen. The reminder screen and documentation have been updated to
instruct users on how to register GLEDIT via CompuServe's SWREG section.
The price has been increased to $12 to help recover more of the cost of
registering users. International mail and CIS registration make it hard to
profit on a $10 fee. Parity Solutions still aims to keep the quality up and
the price as low as possible.
GLEDIT version 2.2 modifications:
1. Added a /R switch which will allow GLEDIT to recurse through all
subdirectories below the current or specified subdirectory.
2. Added a [TEST MODE] indicator to the prompt when you are executing
with the /T switch on. Previous releases also automatically invoked the
/Y switch when in test mode. This no longer happens.
3. Due to the fact that Borland C++ removes the quotes on a command line
parameter before passing it to me, I interpreted an replace string that
started with a forward slash as a switch. I now check for the entire
switch string (i.e. "/N") rather than assuming anything starting with
a slash was a switch. This still prevents you from being a ble to use
a valid switch as your replace string. You can use a valid switch
within a replace string as long as it is preceeded or follwed by at
least one other character or space.
GLEDIT versions 2.1 thru 2.2 were distributed under the name GEDIT. The
GLEDIT name officially was added with release 2.3.
Modifications for version 2.3 of GLEDIT:
1. Added the /D switch to allow a string to be deleted instead of being
replaced with another string.
2. Changed the program name from GEDIT.EXE to GLEDIT.EXE. This was done
at the request of Public Brand Software who discovered another program
they distribute called GEDIT. This will avoid possible confusion to
people who may own both products.
3. Formerly you were given no option to terminate the search/edit function
other than to press CTRL-BREAK. The "Press any key to continue..."
message now reads "Press ESC to exit, any other key to continue...".
The functionality is obvious from the message.
4. For ease of conversion for registered users of GEDIT, the GEDIT.SER
file is recognized as well as the GLEDIT.SER file.
Modifications for version 2.3a of GLEDIT:
1. GLEDIT v2.3a is identical to version 2.3. Only the documentation has
been updated. The documentation erroneously instructed users to
use product #753 on SWREG for registration. The correct product ID is
754.
