UPDATE NOTICES and REVISION HISTORY
for
QUICKFILER (QF)
We try not to overwhelm the user with seemingly daily
updates, but if a problem error arises or if the changes are
judged to be of a major nature, a new version will be
released. The following is a list of changes made since
version 1.8:
Version 1.9
6/14/86
1. Changed the sort-by-date so that the file time is used as
the tie-breaker, then file name.
2. MOVE now will work with the root directory as well as
with subdirectories.
3. Corrected a problem with the Hidden attribute. Previous
versions confused System files with Hidden files.
4. Added an indication of the sort type being performed.
5. Corrected the Ctrl-E prompts and drive\directories
used. Control is now passed to Entry directory with
Current directory used for <F10> file name.
Version 2.0
7/04/86
1. Added ability to hide/unhide directories. Hidden
directories may be renamed and deleted, (if empty).
2. Added time-and-date-stamp alter function where a user may
set current or marked files with either the current system
time/date or with a new user-entered time/date.
3. Allow group hide/unhide and group protect/unprotect.
4. Added form-feed to printer-control menu.

for
QUICKFILER (QF)
Version 2.1
8/8/86
1. File sizes are now listed in full, true sizes. Previous
versions rounded the filesize up to the next even 1000
bytes.
2. Marked sizes are now more accurate due to the proper file
size displayed.
3. Ctrl-B will backup MARKED files on the current
disk/directory to the alternate disk/directory. To
invoke:
a. Bring up both source and target disk/directories.
b. Mark files on source disk/directory.
c. Press Ctrl-B and answer Y to prompt.
Marked files will be copied ONLY if they don't exist on
the target disk/dir, OR the source file time/date is more
recent than a target file of the same name.
4. Two types of display refresh are now included:
a. Ctrl-R will reread the CURRENT drive/directory and
redisplay the files on that side only (useful after
SHELL or EXEC operations).
b. Alt-R will clear the screen, reread BOTH
drive/directories and redisplay the entire screen
(if anything messes up the display).
5. A bug has been corrected that occured when copying to the
right side (if no drive had yet been selected for that
side) resulting in garbage displayed at top of screen.
6. The List "Help" screen has been removed to make room for
the new features. This information is covered in the
documentation.
7. Alt-V will toggle between hi-intensity white and reverse
video display for marked files. (Useful for monitors
that don't display hi-intensity or bright colors).
You may also include the command line option [V] to
invoke QF with the inverse video option ON.

8. Ctrl-F provides an automatic link with FILECAT (through
FCDISK) that creates a text file on a target disk that
lists files on the disk (in alpha order), filesize, and
description of the file (if the file is included in the
FILECAT database). To use this feature you must have both
FCDISK and FILECAT. To use, do the following:
a. Be certain that FCDISK is either with your FILECAT data
files, or pathed.
b. Bring up your target disk/dir (the one where you wish
your text file to be written) on one side of QF.
c. Bring up your FILECAT data file disk/dir on the
alternate side.
d. Be certain the flashing cursor and pointer are on the
FILECAT side of the QF display.
e. Press Ctrl-F. QF will automatically load FCDISK.
f. Answer the questions that are asked. The text file
will be created on your target disk and you will be
returned to QF.
NOTE: The following steps are optional:
g. Make the target disk side the current disk/dir.
h. Press Ctrl-R to refresh the side and display your new
file.
i. Point to the new file, then press "L" then "S" to list
to the screen and view what was created.
