- What's new in Backward 2.80:
- - A bunch of new patches : joker are handled for Frename, Ddelete accepts a
- trailing backslash, Fwrite(-3,...) works, so LPRINT works for GFA Basic.
- - A great new patch, v_rectfl works with user-defined patterns, so UMS II works
- now. Sadly, this patch is only for TOS 4.02 and TOS 4.04, but it will be
- done for TOS 4.01 in the next version.
-
-
- What's new in Backward 2.73:
- - Two new patches, and a nearly complete swedish translation.
-
- What's new in Backward 2.72:
- - A new patch for gemdos calls. Found thanks to Roger Cupif. By the way,
- Backward III already includes a more efficient version of this patch.
-
- What's new in Backward 2.71:
-
- - Many small fixes. Especially, Microprose Golf works really now (a small bug
- was still wandering).
- - More patches for programs.
-
-
- What's new in Backward 2.70:
-
- - Many new patches, especially for GEM and LineA.
- - A NEW TOOL : PATCH.GTP. It allows you to modify your still
- resisting programs.
- - A new sweedish distributor Sven Bornemark and a new sweedish version.
- Just run BACKSWE.APP for having sweedish messages.
- - The exception table option has disappeared and is kept on (moved).
- - the 68030 options are now disabled in the non registered version.
-
- Sad News : Forget my Email address. It is useless.
-
- Very Good News : Backward III is on its way. The ehancer part is almost
- rewritten. I am working now on new features !
- New features already done :
- - Less memory useage, currently down to 128Kb, and it may get even lower.
-
- - It is now resident until next COLD boot. With some restrictions, the set-up
- will be altered accordingly to the launched program.
-
- - You won't have to reboot to rerun Backward.
-
- - The stack is more protected. A few more games available thanks to that.
-
- - The memory space used is reduced in resident mode.
-
- Features I am working on :
- - Use of the Jag joystick for realtime configuration (it seems silly, but
- using it is safer than the keyboard, believe me).
-
- - Use of the Jag joystick as a normal joystick. It can be done at least for
- system calls, but I am working on a full implementation.
-
- - Allowing the TOS to run with caches and at 16Mhz, whatever may be the set-up
- for the current program.
-
- - Forcing programs to use hard disk instead of floppies (but do not expect too
- much from this).
-
- Other unmentionned features will follow.
- Sincerely yours.
- Cyrille.
