Changes to Addresser
V2.0 - Addresser no longer crashes if you select "Show only" under
the Marker menu and there are no marked records. It will now
display a message stating there are no marked records
- The Quick list requestor now accepts the up and down arrow keys
as the up and down arrow buttons. (Works for AmigaDOS 2.0 only)
- Pressing a letter in the Quick List requestor will now go to the
next name containing the letter.
- Under V2.0ß, if you set Addresser to start iconified and then
expand the Addresser window, half of the buttons would disappear.
This has been fixed.
- Because of a small change made to the merging functions, creating
merge files for Excellence!, ProWrite and PPage 3 would not work
with their respective word processors (extra spaces were padded to
the end of the field names). This has been fixed.
- Some crashes waiting to happen have been patched up.
- Addresser 2.0 will now allow the user to apply Boldface, Italic
or Underlining to each format line.
- The print requestor now allows for different type sizes for
the sending and return address on an envelope.
- The print requestor will now let the user print to a file.
- The name of the person being printed or merged will now be
displayed on the top line of the print/merge status window.
- The labels across selector is now a slider (a lot easier to use
than a drop down menu).
- Attempts have been made to ensure that Addresser is not stomping
on memory it is not supposed to be. Hopefully this will fix some
mysterious bugs that have been showing up.
V2.0ß - Released only to registered beta testers.
- Improved gadget look, more in tune with Commodore's interface
design specs.
- Larger letter and next/prev list buttons.
- Now uses AutoRequest() instead of own custom requestor function.
Much easier to use and looks better.
- Support for TransScript, PPage 3, BeckerText, and Excellence merge
file format
- Addition of configuration options for printer and modem
initialization.
- New address format feature added along with user configuration
of all formats.
- Addition of name grouping
- Improved (non-anchored) searching as well as search and un-mark
feature added.
- Printing of multiple copies, envelopes, phone book format, single
sheets, 1, 2, and 3 across label printing and pica and elite
printer
font selection added.
- All windows are NOCAREREFRESH to speed up things a bit
- Serial device is now opened as shared for dialing.
- Dial requestor and operations re-designed. Separate hangup button
added. Clicking on DIAL button will hang up the modem, send an
initialization string, then send the dial string to the modem.
- A space character is sent to the modem, then the DTR line is
dropped
to hang up to modem now.
- All requestors now keep their previous selections, and all
selections are saved with Addresser's configuration.
- All text (except for text requestors) specifically use topaz 8.
If Addresser is run under AmigaDOS 2.0, the text gadgets will
display the window title font if it is smaller than size 9.
Otherwise topaz 9 is used (this is not of my design, AmigaDOS 2.0
does this)
- Blank records are no longer accepted
- Warning requestor will pop up if user attempts to enter a duplicate
record.
- A Quick list window is now available. This window will allow the
user to scroll through all the names in the Addresser database.
- A manual save function has been added
- Company feild has been added
- Note, First, and Last feilds have been lengthened
- Addresses can now be copied to and pasted from the clipboard
- All requestors now have menus attached to them with keyboard
equivalents available. All gadgets with keyboard shortcuts have
the letter highlighted. And any gadget that is activated by
pressing the return key has a border drawn around it. Left and
right cursor key moves up and down through addresser list (2.0
only)
(BUG) - Tagged checkbox is now cleared when Add is selected. (would
sometimes stay on under V1.0)
(BUG) - Addresser now checks if the serial-device is available (Addresser
1.0 used to crash if serial device was unavailable and cancel was
selected on warning requestor).
V1.0 - Initial release
