WnBrowse version 4.5 for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT
-----------------------------------------------------
Changes in Version 4.5
----------------------
1. Internal Unzipping
In most cases, WnBrowse will now use an internal process to unzip a
file contained in a ZIP archive without using an external program
such as PKUNZIP.
When Internal unzipping has been turned off (from preferences) or
if the file was zipped with an unsupported method, WnBrowse will
continue to use an external unzip program.
2. The files contained within a Zip archive are now be displayed showing
the file name and file path in separate columns.
3. When turning line wrap on and off, WnBrowse attempts to maintain the
current file position so that a repeat find continues from where it
left off rather than starting at the top of the file.
4. The Popup menu now contains an Edit sub-menu from where the defined
text or hex editor can be invoked.
5. WnBrowse now supports text files of upto 1GB in size. None text files
are supported up to approximately 4GB.
Notes:
The maximum text file defaults to 12MB. This can be changed using
the Preferences option on the Options menu.
When WnBrowse opens a text file, it scans the file to build a line
index. This process could take a considerable time for a 1GB file.
6. A few other minor changes and bug fixes.
Changes in Version 4.4
----------------------
1. Added Popup Menu
A right-Click in the WnBrowse window will now produce a Pop-Up
menu from where various WnBrowse functions can be selected.
Menu items are grayed if they are not applicable at the time
the Pop-Up is displayed.
2. Line Wrap Improvements
When Line-Wrap is toggled on and off, WnBrowse now maintains
the current viewing position within the file.
3. Preferences Change
The preferences dialog has a new page containing Zip Options.
A new option on this page requests that the name of the Zip file
be passed to the un-zip program (PKUNZIP for example) in the short
8.3 format.
4. All reported bugs have been fixed.
Changes in Version 4.3
----------------------
1. General
Version 4.3 has been released to fix a number of small problems
that have been reported. In particular, this version resolves
problems when running under Windows NT 4.0 with service pack 3
and above installed.
2. Minor changes to the EBCDIC to ASCII translation. WnBrowse now
translates non-ascii characters to a blank in text mode and to
a period in hex mode.
3. WinZip support
WnBrowse uses PKUNZIP to unzip files in the background to allow
seamless viewing of the contents of Zip files.
Unfortunately, PKUNZIP does not support long file names.
The latest version of WinZip (Version 7.0) when used with the
optional WinZip command line add-on can be used with WnBrowse by
making a small change to the wnbzip.bat file distributed with
WnBrowse. Simply change the program name pkunzip to wzunzip.
Note: As with PKUNZIP, you must register WinZip if you intend
to use it past the initial test period.
Changes in Version 4.2
----------------------
1. WnBrowse is now freeware.
2. Files deleted using WnBrowse can optionally be sent to the
Recycle Bin allowing them to be undeleted later if neccessary.
3. As an option, files viewed from the Windows Explorer can be viewed
by launching a new copy of WnBrowse, rather than using a copy
that is already running.
4. WnBrowse now allows you to scroll a file using the wheel on a
Microsoft Intellipoint mouse.
5. A new button can be added to the tool bar to turn EBCDIC translation
on or off.
6. The maximum size of a text file can now be set from the preferences
dialog. The default is 12mb. Files larger than this size are treated
as non-text, speeding up the open process.
7. You can now search for unicode strings within a file. Useful for
software developers
Bugs Fixed
----------
1. In rare cases, the find command failed to find a matching string in
large files. This has been fixed.
