- ----------history-- this is not the complete history, consult the guide !----
-
- Changes made since 3.31:
-
- Failed to update the scrollers if the number of lines changed.
-
- Changes made since 3.30:
-
- Updated the ViNCEd list requester. Works much better now, no reason
- to use the standard requester any more.
-
- Encoded the SetVNC program to trick VirusWorkshop. Manual
- installation should be done with care - use the decode program
- in the "Extras" drawer.
-
- Changes since 3.20....
-
- -Added C style control codes for window titles, expanding into the path,
- CLI number, fault code and more...
-
- -Updated the TAB requester (subdirs can be entered now).
-
- -Added a lot of open path arguments, specifying a font,screen etc...
-
- -Added better custom screen support (default colors & font available)
-
- -More defaults selectable from the prefs, like font/screenmode/color
- requesters.
-
- -Added switch for faster TAB expansion
-
- -Added switch for sorting directories first
-
- -Added SHIFT+TAB -> device list on empty line
-
- -Middle mouse button can be disabled
-
- -Close requester available.
-
- -Fixed a LOT of bugs in 3.20. Incompatibilities with DW,MWM,ZShell,SShell
- and more are now gone (I hope), one enforcer hit is gone
- (thanx Christopher...)
-
- -Upated the installer script (now much smarter about source and destination
- location)
-
- -Fixed the SetFONT script.
-
-
- ****************************************************************************
-
- To update from 3.xx to 3.30:
-
- Re-install, since A LOT of stuff changed!
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ANNOUNCEMENT:
- If you selected the "Disable full screen Edit" setting on the
- system page of SetVNC as setting for ViNCEd, you will have noticed
- that the RETURN key does not operate like expected in the SHELL.
-
- THIS IS NOT A BUG!
-
- This edit mode is for programs that wants to read masks from the
- input, UNLIKE THE SHELL. DO NOT TURN IT ON FOR THE SHELL!
-
- If you like to glue the cursor to the edit position and don't want
- it moving 'round the screen if marking blocks or scrolling, turn on
- the XTerm Cursor Mode in the edit pages of SetVNC!
-
- If you prefer single TAB requesters, turn on both the "Requester if
- expansion is not unique" and the "First TAB expands fully" flag
- in the Shell pages of SetVNC.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ANNOUNCEMENT: Co-Authors wanted !
-
- 1) Localization:
-
- If you like to localize ViNCEd to your language, please send me some mail!
- You'll receive a complete archive how to do the job!
-
- You need to provide:
- - some knowledge about AmigaDOS and locales.
- - some knowledge of your native language (-;
-
-
- An italian localization of ViNCEd is under construction - please contact
- me for more languages!
-
-
- 2) MUI Prefs editor:
-
- I'd like somebody to write a MUI version of a prefs editor. This can't be a
- full replacement for SetVNC, but at least the global prefs should be edit-
- able with it. Some limitations of MUI (no intuition requesters) limit the
- possibilities of a MUI version of SetVNC, but this is O.K. for a prefs editor.
-
- You need to provide:
- - some knowledge about a programming language,
- preferably assembler or C.
- - knowledge about how to write GUIs with MUI.
- - a registered version of MUI
-
- You'll receive a documentation on how ViNCEd saves its preferences and on
- how to call the library functions to install the prefs.
-
-
- I'm sorry, but I can't offer any money for these jobs, cause ViNCEd is
- freeware. It is expected that you provide your work as freeware, too. I
- won't claim any copyright on these programs or databases, but I need your
- O.K. to include them in the ViNCEd archive. Contact me at the address below
- if you think you like to do the job(s).
-
- Thanx, Thomas
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Another note:
-
- VirusWorkShop seems to have trouble with the overlay file structure
- that is used by the SetVNC program.
- THIS IS NOT A VIRUS! It is a bugfix of the oldish CBM overlay
- manager which is really buggy!
- VirusWorkShop will be updated soon. (I hope)
-
- To trick VirusWorkshop, the SetVNC program in this archive is
- encoded. Use the "Decode" program from the "Extras" drawer to
- decode manually. The installer script has been updated to do
- this for you.
-
- Thanks Urban, for reporting!
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Some virus checkers might complain about the set PktWait() pointer
- of the VNCFiler.supervisor. Again:
-
- THIS IS NOT A VIRUS!
-
- Anti-Beol has been updated to handle this case, please
- update your copy as well!
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Send ideas, improvements, bugreports (please as concrete as possible) to:
