Command Language Interpreter for Windows 3.1
History of Features
-------------------
WinOne v1.02 includes the following :- (First Release)
1. Colour and ANSI graphics.
2. Support for Archive files (.ZIP .LZH .ARC).
3. Supports file extension associations.
4. Number of extra commands (eg. WHERE etc).
5. Extra wildcards support for all commands
(eg. *y.* etc.).
WinOne v1.03 includes the following :-
1. New commands (eg DUMP, ACS etc).
2. Command line macros using the MACRO command.
3. File extension associations can now be deleted
at the command line.
4. The full IBM character set, including all the
graphics characters.
5. Support for .ARJ archive files. Command ARCH
will display the files inside most popular
archive files.
6. Easier to see colours.
WinOne v1.04 includes the following :-
1. Improved command line.
2. Saving of the history buffer.
3. improved EXIT command.
4. New command TREE.
WinOne v1.05 includes the following :-
1. Sub-directory processing for many commands,
including RMDIR and DEL. This allows for smart deletion
of sub-directories and files in sub-directories.
2. Many new commands (eg. VOL, DATE, TIME, ...).
3. Improved file handling. In previous versions of WinOne I
assumed that directories could not have an extension. As a
result, filenames that did not include a dot, were assumed to
be directories. Since this is not the case, WinOne now makes
no such assumption.
4. User definable Buttons introduced. There are now 5 user
definable buttons that can be used to run programs. There are
also an addition 3 system buttons that can not be altered
(ie. EXIT, DOS SHELL and HELP). The images for buttons are
non-moving, except for the eyes button image, which tracks
the cursor when the cursor is moved inside the window.
WinOne v1.06 includes the following :-
1. A vertical scroll bar, that can display the last 7 screens, given
a screen size of 80 x 24. This scroll bar is also real time.
That is, when the thumb position is moved the screen is updated
immediately.
2. Variable font sizes. The system menu contains the "Fonts..." option,
which will allow different font sizes to be choosen. When using
windows 3.0 there are only 4 different font sizes, and under
windows 3.1 there are 10 different font sizes.
3. Lock now uses SPX library's, thus allowing 24 different screens to
be displayed when using Lock. The system menu contains the
"Lock Setup..." option that will allow the user to select and config
the different screens. The SPX library's are free public domain
software, which are originally written for Screen Peace, which is
in itself an excellent screen saver.
4. Built in Screen Saver.
5. The BUTTON command has been remove and now all functions (i.e list,
edit, insert and delete) dealing with buttons are conducted via
the system menu. This greatly simplifies the manipulation of
buttons.
6. New Button images. There are now 43 button images that can be
displayed inside a button. The order that WinOne stores these
images is different from version 1.05. This means that users will
have to edit their buttons.
7. The tab key is now part of the command line edit keys. The tab key
will expand partial paths or filename entered on the command line.
WinOne v1.07 and v1.08 includes the following:- (Not Released)
1. System Configuration edit. Allows easy editing of AUTOEXEC.BAT,
CONFIG.SYS and all .INI files in the windows directory. The system
menu contains the "System" option.
2. Auto-Raise for partially hidden windows.
3. The mouse can now be used with the SPX modules.
4. Program Manager access using the GROUP command. This command can
insert program files into Program Manager groups.
5. Command TASKS now accepts string arguments.
WinOne v1.09 includes the following:- (Not Released)
1. Improved TAB expansion for incomplete path and file names, which
includes command and macro names. Also CTRL + TAB displays a
list of all names that complete the incomplete name being typed
at the WinOne prompt.
2. New DISK command, displays the number of bytes used for all
sub-directories.
3. New Status Bar, displays the time, free bytes in the windows
global heap and a percentage done indicator for commands.
4. WinOne is now more multi-tasking, by checking for unprocessed
messages more often.
Major Version 2.1 (Not Released)
-----------------
1. The size of the WinOne executable program has been reduced.
2. Previous versions of WinOne had limits set on the number of
files per directory and the number of directories that
commands would operate on. Now WinOne handles any number
of files per directory and any number of directories, so
long as there is enough memory avaliable.
3. WinOne now supports batch files, that will, when executed, be
displayed in the main WinOne Window. All standard batch
commands (eg. IF, FOR, GOTO, CALL, ECHO, PAUSE, REM, SHIFT)
are supported, along with replaceable parameters %0 to %9 and
environment variables.
4. Many useful enhanced batch commands have also been included.

with all 2.x versions of WinOne.

files within these groups.

front of all other windows.

Note
----
I Know, I Know, I wasn't going to release new versions after v3.2, but
I have changed my mind (partly due to requests), so I will keep on
releasing updated versions of WinOne from now on. Enjoy :-)
Not Released Versions
---------------------
Versions of WinOne marked as Not Released are offered to registered users
only.
System Requirements
-------------------
This program requires Windows 3.1 and DOS 5.0 or higher and needs about 720K
of RAM (i.e. memory) to operate.
WinOne performs best in Protected Mode or 386 Enhanced Mode.
Installation
------------
To install WinOne from a DOS prompt, type the following :-
WIN INSTALL
INSTALL will only create one directory (no sub-directories) and copy all the
relevent files into this directory, then a program manager group is created
and the WinOne icon is placed inside.
To uninstall WinOne, simply delete all the files in the directory in which
WinOne was installed, and delete the group that the WinOne icon was placed in.
More Help
---------
WinOne includes a comprehensive help file, that can only be displayed while
WinOne is running. Simply use the mouse and click on the GREEN question mark
button. This help file contains all the information needed to describe all
the WinOne commands and all the features (including pictures) described in
the History of Features above.
This help file has taken a considerable amount of time to put together, so
please read it, after WinOne has been installed.
