;
; This is the Commodore-Amiga update for Workbench 1.3. These files
; are meant to replace some of the files in the Commodore Workbench 1.3
; distribution.
;
; The terms of this distribution are located in the file ReadBeforeUsing.
; Please read this agreement before installing the files on your system.
;
;
;All of the following software, is
;Copyright 1989 Commodore-Amiga, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
;
;This README notice must remain intact, unchanged, and must
;accompany the distribution of any or all of this software.
;
;The release contains new versions of the following programs:
;
;SetPatch, LoadWB, Eval, SetClock, Mount, DiskDoctor,
;Format, Diskcopy, FastMemFirst, NoFastMem, SetMap,
;CMD, ClockPtr, Pipe-Handler, Speak-Handler, FastFileSystem,
;Aux-Handler, version.library, info.library, serial.device,
;printer.device
;---------------------
;
;This is what was changed in each of the programs:
;
;C
;-
;SetPatch
; a) Alert code fixed to work with 1 meg chip ram machines.
; b) TrackDisk GetUnit patch added.
; c) DOS Execute() patched that uses RUN from the resident list .
; d) UserState patch for 68010.
;
;LoadWB
; a) LoadWB now closes icon.library.
;
;Eval
; a) () added; also parses strings in a more relaxed manner.
;
;DiskDoctor
; a) incorrect error message (out of memory) changed.
; b) uses BufMemType so works with large hard drives.
;
;FF : NOTE - NOT AVAILABLE FOR ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION
; a) incorrect use of font flags fixed.
;
;SetClock
; a) reset option now skips clock validity check.
;
;Mount
; a) BAUD and CONTROL mountlist keywords added for multiserial use.
; b) full option added to startup to create handler
; entries with full environment support.
;
;System
;------
;Format
; a) works with large hard drives (uses bufmemtype).
; b) inhibit logic fixed.
; c) secondary results are properly set.
; d) better error messages.
; e) only opens icon.library if it needs icon.library.
; f) NOFFS keyword removed (was not useful)
;
;Diskcopy
; a) uses fast memory in a single drive copy if chip ram is unavailable.
; b) single disk copy on a 1 meg chip ram machine works.
; c) verify by default; noverify option added.
; d) Only opens icon library if it needs icon library.
; e) If diskcopy fails, the failure cylinder is left showing.
; on the screen.
; f) secondary results are properly set.
; g) better error messages.
; h) MULTI keyword allows multiple copies of single disk
;
;FastMemFirst
; a) tests for chip memory properly (it worked fine before;
; however, it was incorrect).
;
;NoFastMem
; a) changed to also specific divert calls on fast memory to public
; memory.
;
;SetMap
; a) kludge added to make sure that, under V34Kickstart and below,
; a keymap never spans a 64K boundry.
;
;L
;-
;Pipe-Handler
; a) names are now case-indifferent.
;
;Speak-Handler
; a) no longer loses 10K when unknown packet received.
; b) OPTs are now case indifferent.
;
;FastFileSystem
; a) File system no longer fails if the boot block of a disk contains
; a zero in the first longword.
;
; b) Whenever a file not in the root was altered, the datestamp of the
; root block would be altered. This has been fixed, the last modified
; date is now altered instead.
;
; c) Due to a calculation error when writing out the bitmap the disk
; would always validate on restart if it was >308Meg. This has
; been fixed. New limit is REALLY 2.5 Gig. Tested to 600Mb.
;
;Aux-Handler
; a) Sets the flags to 0 on open of the serial.device.
;
;Utilities
;---------
;
;CMD
; a) works with device names that have odd number of characters
; b) QUERY functino added so works with printer drivers that
; query the printer.
;
;ClockPtr
; a) switched over to the European version with the 24 hour option.
;
;Libs
;----
;
; info.library
; a) no longer improperly combine tooltypes
;
;version.library
; a) version number changed.
;
;devs
;----
;serial.device
; a) no longer crashes on mismatched baud rate.
; b) Refuses to open unavailable units.
; c) Lower overhead.
;
;printer.device
; a) support for multipass printers fixed.
;
;
;
; Before installing these files in your SYS: disk, it is a good idea
; to make a backup, in case problems arise later.
;
; We suggest unpacking the files in a directory in RAM, using the x//
; option to ZOO. The directory should already exist.
; For example, to unpack in a directory called wb in RAM: (ZOO file called
; WB1.3.1 on DF0: )
;
; mkdir ram:wb
; cd ram:wb
; zoo x// df0:WB1.3.1
; copy ram:wb sys: all
;
; After unpacking the files, and placing the files in your SYS: disk,
; it will be necessary to correct the protection bits. Execute this
; ReadMe file (the one you are currently reading) to do this, ie
;
; Execute Readme
;
; The files now have the proper protections for normal system operation.
