- ZDB 1.8c
- Joe Mortensen
- April 12, 1992
-
- A change in the dialer routine made by Hawley/Hazen prevented
- long dialing strings with delays in them (like credit card calls)
- from going through properly. The MRESET call was coming too
- soon. A longer delay in TSTR fixed the bug. The count given to
- be register was originally 40. A change to 0 (making it in
- effect 256) solved the problem.

- ZDB 1.8b - changes by Al Hawley 02/04/92
-
- -A "jr clkok" instruction was added at the end of the clkok:
- routine after the call to fnamz to enable recognition of the
- DU spec in the default data filename.
- -In ZDB18.B, added 2 instructions which send "ATZ" to the
- modem after completion of dialing. This leaves the modem in
- a well defined standard state for subsequent use by other
- communication programs which may not reset the S7 register.

- Bug fixes in this release:
- 1. A problem with editing after using the Find command has
- been corrected. The bug was creating a second record and
- appending it to the file rather than changing the existing one.
- 2. Problems some users have with the formfeed after
- printing labels has been fixed through elimination. After each
- label is printed the printer now gets a reset string to restore
- the printer to its defaults. The final formfeed after a label
- printing session is gone. This was never a problem to me, but
- some users have complained and pleaded for mercy. Now granted.
-
- Changes in this release:
- 1. Default data file name may now have driver/user prefix
- as part of it. This is configurable with the CFG file. Up to 16
- characters may be in the file name.
- 2. I have gone back to a single version of ZDB rather than
- separate ones for ZSDOS and Z3Plus. V. 1.8 uses the DSLIB clock
- routines for portability.
-
- Problems not resolved:
- I received one note about a problem with zero length printer
- strings. I have not been able to duplicate the problem. If you
- run into this, please give me some details.
- Some users find that their printers can't handle both NLQ
- and Emphasized print at the same time. The distribution version
- is set up this way. If you have a problem, use CFG to change
- your printer strings.
