What's new in GO 1.1 and VGO 1.1 as compared to the 1.0 versions?
Not terribly much.
There was one bug---One routine would return the string "Errror" (wrong
number of R's) when there was an error, but the calling routine would
only check for "Error" so if that error occured, the calling routine
would think there was no error and continue along unaware. Fixed. It
wasn't very likely that anyone would have run into that bug anyway,
since it only came into play when a body used a non-numerical string for
a date.
There is now a file included called VGOICONS.ZIP, which contains several
icon files for VGO. Many thanks to Steve Weeks for creating them.
A dialog box has been added to warn you if you put anything other than a
switch into the "Parameters" entry fields while DEL or ERASE is the
command to be executed. In VGO version 1.0, if you copied some files to
another location and then wanted to delete some of them, you might have
changed your command to DEL without remembering to remove the target
directory name from the "Parameters" entry field. Then when you
executed the command, you'd be deleting the files you wanted to delete,
but you'd also be deleting the directory to which you'd just copied
those files (if you said "Y" to OS/2's "Are you sure?" question).
Because OS/2's DEL command, unlike DOS's, does take multiple filename
parameters and of course a directory name on a DEL command is treated as
if it had \*.* attached to the end of it. In VGO version 1.1, you'll be
warned if there's anything other than switches in the "Parameters"
fields, so that can't happen to you accidentally.
All other changes are related to Watcom's release of VX-REXX version
1.01c and VROBJ.DLL 1.01c. There were a few bugs in the old version
which we had to work around, which made VGO less efficient than it might
have been. Some of those bugs have been fixed in the new VX-REXX
version, which meant we could remove the workarounds from VGO's code.
So it's a little faster than the first version was.
There appears to be a problem with trying to use two copies of the
VROBJ.DLL file at the same time. So if you have two different programs
that were written using VX-REXX, and one won't work right while the
other is running, make sure they're both accessing the same copy of
VROBJ.DLL.
