- What's new? For all users here a short summary of the most important changes
- in Version 1.1 compared with 1.0 (For details on some of the points see
- the documentation).
-
- a) Mupfel
- - New commands: more, print, noalias and cookie.
- - New options -b and -s for cp.
- - cd, tree and the prompt now work with very long path names.
- - Change of current drive with capital letters, e.g. "D" changes to the
- root directory of drive D.
- - cp and mv now delete the target file in case of an error.
- - Atari's new ARGV method is supported.
- - With K:[YN] in $PRGNAME_EXT you can wait for a key after program execution.
- - Calls via system() are now reentrant.
- - I/O redirection of internal commands now always generates "real" text files.
- - In $PS1 you can switch to reverse video.
- - The list of aliases, the function keys and the internal variables are
- inherited by "baby-mupfels".
-
- b) Venus
- - Improved handling of the menubar e.g. during icon dragging.
- - The clipboard and trashcan directories are now always created when they
- do not exist.
- - Copying of directories to themselves is now forbidden.
- - more and print are now used automatically for all files for which no
- application is installed.
- - Alternate + double click on a directory in a window opens a new window for
- this directory, on a directory icon on the desktop opens a window for the
- parent directory.
- - Dragging desktop icons into a window starts a copy operation.
- - The font in file windows can be selected as in the console window.
- - No files can be dragged into the console window.
-
- c) Gemini
- - You can now leave the console window by mouse click.
- - TOS programs are now always started with the directory of the top window
- as the current directory.
- - The W:N option in $PRGNAME_EXT now works better together with "Close all
- windows before start" in Venus
- - Text output from internal commands is substantially faster.
- - The mupfel commands cp, mv, init, label, rm, more and print can be aliased
- without problems because GEMINI is always using them with 'noalias'.
