- This file contains notes on the changes in TURTLE from version 2.8
- (version 2.9 was not released).
-
- Changes from version 2.8:
-
- - Support for "TWISTER" disks has been added. The "TWISTER"
- format packs more data on a disk, and operates at a faster speed
- than normal format disks. TURTLE will write on "TWISTER" disks,
- but will not format them. The formatter is available in START
- magazine issue #4, Spring, 1987.
-
- - Hard disk read errors are no longer fatal. An option is offered
- to abort the backup, or skip the file with the read error and
- continue the backup.
-
- - TURTLE is less vulnerable to folder crashes. It now uses a
- technique to "remove" folders from the folder count after they
- have been copied. Only folders in the active path on the RAMdisk
- are included in the count, and all folders in the second level of
- the hard disk path are counted. All other folders at the top level
- of the hard disk path are "removed" from the folder count. A
- thorough explanation is in the documentation file TURTLE.DOC under
- the heading "WARNING".
-
-
- Version 2.11 marks the transition from Alcyon (Developer's) "C" to
- Mark Williams "C". While this makes a very slight improvement in
- performance, it should be invisible to the user.
