OneDIR Pro 2.2 Beta Release Notes
=================================
** SPECIAL NOTE: SOME CUTTING EDGE SITES HAVE STARTED LINKING
** DIRECTLY TO THE ONEDIR PRO 2.2 BETA WEB PAGE. IF YOU ARE
** LOOKING FOR A FULLY TESTED, COMMERCIAL QUALITY, DIR REPLACEMENT
** AND DO NOT WANT TO MESS WITH BETA CODE, PLEASE DOWNLOAD ONEDIR PRO 2.1.
** THE 2.1 RELEASE IS VERY MATURE, OFFERS TONS OF FEATURES, AND ALSO
** SUPPORTS WINDOWS 95 LONG FILE NAMES.
Thank you for downloading this beta copy of the 2.2 release of
OneDIR Pro. With your help, OneDIR Pro will remain the premier
command line directory program for DOS, Windows 95, and soon
Windows NT. The target release date for the 2.2 release is
January 1997.
In order to better test the 2.2 release, this beta version is being
made available. In order to participate in the beta program, you
need to do the following things:
1) Notify me that you are beta testing the program.
2) Let me know what you think!
As long as you meet the above criteria, you may test this version
of OneDIR Pro free of charge. If you do NOT notify me that you are beta
testing the program, then this version is considered shareware. You will
have 30 days to evaluate the product and then must register it in
order to legally continue using it.
This beta version comes with updated documentation, complete online
help, and license information. If you find any bugs or typos please
let me know. The 16-bit version of OneDIR Pro should be fairly stable.
The 32-bit version appears stable, but I really need beta testers to check
it out. The 16-bit and 32-bit versions of OneDIR Pro share about 90% of
the same code. While this is a really good thing, it also means that the
32-bit version is running a lot of code written with 16-bit assumptions
hidden in the back of my head. While most of my code was really portable,
there may still be a few quirks I missed.
Please note, I haven't had a chance to fully test either of the two
new versions. While both programs seem to work fine, it takes me a while
to verify that new changes did not introduce any bugs. Of course if
I had already completely tested this version, there really wouldn't be
a need to beta test it! Please keep this in mind while you use it. I
do not recommend you use this beta version in any "production" application.
If you do, then do so at your own risk.
