History for UPDATE program
==========================
Version 2.10 (8/92)
============
Added an option called "Included drive(s) list" as an menu option
under the UPDATE menu item. This option allows the operator to
select the list of drives that UPDATE will scan (new).
Added an option called "Define installation path" which allows the
operator to bypass the searching procedure and install the programs
directly into a subdirectory on a harddisk (new).
Added an option called "Scan network drive(s)" that allows the
operator to tell UPDATE whether to scan only the local drive(s)
or local AND network drives (new).
Added an option called "Network drive(s) start at" which defines the
first logical drive to be considered a network drive. UPDATE consi-
ders the specified drive and all above it to be network drives (new).
Added matching command-line options for most of the menu items to
allow similar functionality from the command-line. These commands
are "/D:<lst>" (Included drive(s) list), "/ONNET" (Scan network
drive(s)), "/N:<drv>" (Network drive(s) start at). (new)
Added an option called "Copy if program exists" to the SETUP menu
that provides "intelligent updating" capabilities. By toggling this
option between "Both", "Yes" and "No" selected files will be updated
all the time, only if they exists on the harddisk or only if they do
not exists on the harddisk respectively (new).
Added a command line option called "/BOTH" that will update all the
files selected whether or not they already exists on the searched
harddisk (new).
Added a command line option called "/EXISTS" that will update all the
files selected only if the selected programs ALREADY exists on the
harddisk (new).
Added a command line option called "/NEW" that will update all the
files selected only if the selected programs DO NOT ALREADY exists on
the harddisk (new).
Version 2.02 (6/92)
============
Discovered a bug in the "Modify Colors..." option that prevented user
selected colors from being assigned to the default color table (fixed).
Version 2.01 (6/92)
============
UPDATE would not read the UPDATE.INI file when command-line options
were also entered (fixed).
Cosmetic changes to the ABOUT window to accomodate more current and
future technical information about the environment (new).
In the ABOUT window the "DOS options" line which displayed the
command-line options entered, now shows the command-line EXACTLY as
it was entered by the operator not just in uppercase (fixed).
Added to the ABOUT window a line that tells whether a configuration
file was located on disk or in the path (new).
Version 2.00 (6/92)
============
Cosmetic changes in my selection of double lined borders to all the
pull-down menus (new).
Added an "About" information window to display the current working
environment for UPDATE (new).
Moved the "Help on Using Help" to a subordinate item on the HELP
menu (new).
Added a complete help index to the HELP menu options (new).
Added a command-line option "/PLAIN" and a corresponding menu option
to turn off the shadows behind the windows (new).
Expanded the HELP menu option with its own menu selections (new).
The UPDATE.INI file now also contains the color selections (new).
Added a complete color configuration feature that is accessed through
an option on the SETUP menu (new).
Modularilized some of the internal structures (new).
Version 1.10 (4/92)
============
Changed the program default configuration filename from UPDATE.CFG
to UPDATE.INI (new).
Selecting the "Install all programs" options would select all the
programs even if they were not available (fixed).
Added shadows to all overlaying windows (new).
The mouse cursor would slow to a crawl after shelling to DOS and
using another mouse-based program (fixed).
UPDATE was not returning the operator to the startup directory when
the program finished (fixed).
Added option on the SETUP menu to add an interactive version of the
"/ALL" command-line switch command (new).
Added option on the SETUP menu to select between a 12hr and a 24hr
time format (new).
Expanded the on-line help, added more cross-references (new).
Added option on the SETUP menu to update the NETSCAN program (new).
Added feature that checks and enables or disables the menu items
on the SETUP menu for McAfee programs that are not in the same drive
and directory as the program itself (new).
Updated the command line options with the "/OLDDOS" command to be used
if the DOS version is less that version 3.3 (new).
Checked the CmdLine procedure to make sure that it is turning off the
autoread configutration capability when command-line options are
present (fixed).
Moved all confirmation prompts to display on the status line (new).
Merged the "Update Window" to display on top of the scan window instead
of a clean screen by itself (new).
The default settings were being saved to the current drive/directory
rather than the startup drive/directory (fixed).
An especially nasty bug was found that caused the files in the root
directory of the searched drive to be skipped (fixed).
Resolved a problem that caused the program to lockup when run from the
root directory of any drive (fixed).
Version 1.00 (3/92)
============
Check CmdLine procedure, make sure that it is turning off the
autoread capability when command-line options are present (fixed).
The ChkDrive procedure does not see to be eliminating invalid
drives, causing repeat reads of the current drive (fixed).
The "drive summary" window kept showing same drive information. Could
be a cascaded problem of ChkDrive (fixed).
The "replace confirmation code" was not implemented properly (fixed).
The "file date checking" code was not showing the correct date for the
target file (fixed).
Error messages not implemented (fixed).
