WHATS.NEW 11/9/91
BTP Version 1.5 (C) 1991 John C. Leon. All Rights Reserved.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. BEST NEWS! The STATS program has been greatly enhanced. It now produces
substantially the same output as 'BUTIL -STAT', but is a standalone
program and can be freely distributed with your applications (unlike BUTIL)
IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED USER of BTP. Full source is included.
2. Complete support for alternate collating sequences. This required
modifying the BFile object and its constructor, and the CreateFile
function, and the addition of data structures for an alternate collating
sequence file. A boolean field in BFile, HasAltCol, has been established.
The CreateFile function now takes a third parameter, being the name of an
alternate collating sequence file, if any.
3. BFile has an additional field for a file's actual filespec length. This
can be useful when cloning a file. A new function, CloneFile, has been
added, which reduces the cloning process to a single function call, with only
the names of the existing and new files passed as parameters. Miscellaneous
changes in V1.5 include elimination of a redundant parameter previously
required by the FilterSpec object's constructors. Added a variant to both
the FileSpec and KeySpec objects to allow easier reporting of certain stats
after a stat call.
4. Some minor optimizations done here and there thruout the unit and example
programs.
