- Yes, there are updates!!!
-
- 3/7/1991
- It is now 2 o'clock in the morning and version 1 of both FCKECKER and
- FLISTER are ready. FCHECKER is OK, but FLISTER could do with a few
- improvements. It will do the work anyway.
- Fixed a few bugs when I woke up.
-
-
- 6/7/1991
- Starting to work on a GEM-based FLISTER. Many improvements planned.
-
-
- 8/7/1991
- It's 10 o'clock in the evening and I can see the sunset from my window.
- I'm about to start the last (I hope) long session to complete FLIST2.
- Saving and Deleting......
-
-
- 9/7/1991
- I started on these programs a week ago (3/7/1991) and FLIST is already
- up to version 2, it was finished 4 o'clock this morning.
- If you have seen v.1, this is a big step forward. If you haven't, be happy!
- V.1 was of, ahem, "different" quality. Now you have GEM menus, ability to
- load from and save to different directorys and delete files from list.
- This is a BIG improvement!
-
- Updated the manual and fixed a few bugs when I woke up too.

- Just couldn't keep away, could I. Made some internal changes to FLIST2,
- it should speed up saving a bit.
- The big change is in FCHECKER. It checks the files so fast (on my HD),
- that it is impossible to see which files it's checking. This is fine if
- everything is OK, but if something is wrong with a file, it is impossible
- to see which one it is.
- The solution is simple: if you press the <p> on the keyboard when it
- starts, the program will make a brief halt before terminating.
- Version number on FCHECKER is now 1.1.

- This change will only be seen by you who have TOS 1.4 or 1.6: The
- fileselectorbox will now have a title that tells you what to do.

- Yep, time for another update! Another BIG change this time: CHECKSUMS!
- Yes, the program now calculates a checksum on each file and puts it
- in the filelist. I changed the Flist program so you can create the new
- lists with it AND convert the old ones from v.1 to v.2.
- Also updated the Fcheck program so it now handles BOTH the old and
- the new filelists.
- Flist is now up to version 3 and Fcheck to version 2.
-
- Also fixed a few bugs remaining from Flist2.

- I changed the checksum algorithm today. They are now encrypted!
- An other change is that the program now searches more of the file.
- To check a whole 200K file will take ages, but if you wish me to
- change it, let me know.
- Flist is now v.3.1 and Fcheck is v.2.1
-
-
- 16/7/91
- I speeded up the checksum algorithm. It's faster, but it also means that
- lists created with 3.1 will not work. It doesn't matter really, since
- 3.1 never was released outside my bedroom. I also 'shadowed out' some menu
- items when no list is loaded.
- Flist is now 3.2 and Fcheck 2.2
-

- 19/7/91
- Found a real megabug in the delete-routine. It messed up the filelist when
- you deleted files from the list. I don't know how I could have missed it,
- it was so obvious.
- Found another bug in the checksum routine. It showed itself if you
- deleted files from the list.
- Changed the checksum algorithm again, so earlier versions will not work
- anymore. Didn't bother to make a converter this time either.
- It is now possible to choose if you want to check the whole file or just
- part of it. There is a item in the menu 'Extra' called 'Check whole'.
- Remember that if you check the whole file, it will take MUCH longer,but
- it's much safer.
- Changed Fcheck so it won't terminate if it can't locate a file. (Thank's
- Steve Delaney for the suggestion)
- Flist is now 3.5, Fcheck 2.5

- 20/7/91
- Added the item 'Delete file' in the File menu. Also renamed 'Delete files'
- in the Edit menu to 'Remove files', so it won't be confused with Delete.
- Added the item 'Status' in the Extra menu. It will give the status on
- some system vectors.
- Added keyboard shortcuts to all menu items except About...
- Flist is now 3.6.
