For those who are familiar with earlier versions of Qfonedit:
Qfonedit 2.2X provides full support for the Qmodem 2.20 (and later)
directory structure, allowing editing of all of the new fields and
sorting on some of them. Qfonedit's use of color has been revised to
more closely emulate Qmodem. Improved use of windows and error
trapping has been implemented. One level of complete un-do capability
has been added.
For those not familiar with Qfonedit:
Qfonedit is an all-around utility for maintaining Qmodem phone
directories. It allows full editing of the directory, using a full-
page context-sensitive editor. It enables rapid sorts on up to seven
fields, in any combination of ascending/descending order. Qfonedit
will "print" any portion of the directory to a disk file, permitting
you to further edit and print that file. Using Qfonedit, you may clear
entries from the directory, exchange entries within the directory, and
insert blank entries into the directory. You may also force blank
entries to the bottom of any section of the directory. Qfonedit allows
you to reset the communication parameters of all entries (or only all
blank entries) in the directory.
Qfonedit maintains up to two backups of your directory and also lets
you "un-do" its operations if you make mistakes.
With Qfonedit, you should need no other Qmodem utilities. Without
Qfonedit, you may not realize you need a Qmodem utility. (That isn't
hype. I wrote this program thinking I didn't need it. I didn't realize
the need until I already had the program well under way.)
Qfonedit is a user-supported program. This is not a demo version, nor
is it crippled in any way, or limited in number of runs.
release 2.22:
If 2.20 worked well for you, you don't need 2.22--but please do not
distribute 2.20! Some bugs kept Qfonedit 2.20 from running at all on a
few systems. They have been squashed. Qfonedit 2.20 used and left a
funny cursor on mono display adaptors. That has been fixed. Qfonedit
2.22 uses current DOS colors for opening status messages and restores
those colors when exiting.
release 2.23:
Again, if things are working well already, you don't need 2.23. But
again, please do not further distribute earler versions! The last (I
swear to goodness!) bugs involving saving and opening files under DOS
2.X have gone.
The "other display" information may be Printed (to disk) in place of
the main display information.
All ASCII characters from the space thru the underscore are
recognized as significant in the Sort on Name. This was in response to
requests from contributors.
Handling of QMODEM.FON has been modified to preserve unchanged those
portions of the .fon record which are now reserved for future use.
(This may mean that some of QMODEM.FON will look trashy under DEBUG,
but only Tom Neff seems to care about that.)
