-
-
- This file contains enhancements and bug fix history for CodePrint.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------------------- VERSION 2.45 November 15, 1994 ---------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Increased allowable line length to about 900 characters.
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------- VERSION 2.44 July 11, 1994 -----------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Fixed bug that did not process FORM FEEDS with the line number option ON
- or the FORM FEED was the last character on a line.
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------- VERSION 2.43 June 6, 1994 ------------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Changed command line processing to accept an argument without a command
- line switch which defaults to a file name. Therefore, you can specify a
- file name as c:\file.txt on the command line. This allows CodePrint to
- be launched from programs that automatically insert a file name.
-
- Please NOTE other command line option changes:
- * If the /t option is not specified, the default action is to terminate
- the application.
- * A /m option can be used to run the application minimized. If this
- option is not specified, the standard run/launch option is used.
-
- [] Fixed bug that did not correctly free resources when using the /t command
- line option.
-
- [] Fixed bug that would loose the portion of a line following a FORM FEED
- character. Previously a FORM FEED character needed to be placed at the
- end of a line or be the first and only character on a line. This fix
- now allows the FORM FEED character to be placed anywhere on a line and
- any characters after the FORM FEED are printed on the next page.
-
- Note: This ONLY applies if the "Ignore Form Feeds" is not ON.
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------- VERSION 2.42 April 4, 1994 -----------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Fixed problem that would not update the "D:" status item when the duplex
- mode was changed from the Options menu.
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------------------- VERSION 2.41 February 28, 1994 ---------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Fixed problem that COULD produce tiny text in all the list box, edit and
- static text display areas. Not sure what type of configuration caused
- this problem but it should not occur.
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------- VERSION 2.40 January 24, 1994 ---------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Fixed bug that would not prompt to save a modified configuration when a
- new configuration was selected from the MRU list, or when selected from
- the open configuration dialog.
-
-
- ** Enhancements ***********************************************************
-
- [] Added option to print the FULL path name (default) or ONLY the file name
- for the HEADER/FOOTER Filename option. Select this feature from the
- Header/Footer dialog.
-
- [] Added option to print HEADER/FOOTER file date as creation/modified date
- or the date the file was printed (the default). Select this feature from
- the Header/Footer dialog.
-
- [] Added the option to print the page border using one of three widths,
- LIGHT, MEDIUM or HEAVY. Select this feature from the Page dialog.
-
- Important Note: You should select the Page dialog and choose the border
- width you want to use for each configuration and then save it. The default
- is LIGHT border however, in some cases it might default to HEAVY.
-
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------------------- VERSION 2.30 November 15, 1993 ---------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Enhancements ***********************************************************
-
- [] Added command line arguments useful for batch processing. You can now
- start CodePrint with the following command line arguments.
-
- /f - followed by (no space) the path and file name you want to print
- for example:
- /fc:\autoexec.bat
- you may also use -f
- this option can be specified multiple times
-
- /c - followed by (no space) the configuration name, as saved in the
- [Configuration] section of the CodePrint INI file.
- for example:
- /creadme
- you may also use -c
- this option should only be specified once
-
- /t - followed by (no space) a 0 or 1
- specifying 1 will terminate CodePrint after printing the
- specified file(s). Otherwise use 0.
- for example:
- /t0 or /t1
- you may also use -t
- this option should only be specified once
-
- The above options can be specified in any order. For example, to
- print the autoexec.bat and config.sys files from c:\ using a
- configuration named 'LISTINGS' and terminate after printing, the
- command line would be specified as follows.
-
- c:\codeprnt\codeprnt.exe /t1 /fc:\autoxec.bat /fc:\config.sys
- /clistings
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------- VERSION 2.21 October 25, 1993 ---------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Fixed bug that resulted in an error in the Win16 subsystem when run on
- Windows NT.
-
- [] Fixed the bug that would abort a print job when a new page is started
- but and the end of file is reached. This problem was thought to be
- fixed in version 2.10. See the first item for that version.
-
-
- ** Enhancements ***********************************************************
-
- [] This version now runs correctly on Windows NT.
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------------------- VERSION 2.20 September 30, 1993 --------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Fixed bug that would cause a GP fault on some systems when dropping
- files to the CodePrint icon.
-
- [] Fixed printer setup to correctly initialize the print orientation and
- duplex options.
-
- [] Fixed bug that did not update CHECK status for duplex printing on main
- menu if option was changed while application was minimized.
-
-
- ** Enhancements ***********************************************************
-
- [] Added a most recently used list to the File menu. The MRU list provides
- quick access to recently used configurations. Up to 4 MRU configurations
- are listed under the File menu.
-
- [] Changed the status bar to display the duplex status and duplex support
- for the current printer. See on-line help.
-
- [] Change the Printer Setup so it now saves any changes globally for all
- applications.
-
- [] Added support for printers that internally support duplex printing. For
- the HP Laserjet line of printers, the IID and IIID have a built-in
- duplex option. The IIISi and 4Si have a duplex option.
-
- To use a printers duplex feature, select File:Printer Setup to display
- the standard Windows Printer Setup dialog. Choose the Options button.
- In the Duplex Printing group box, select the option you want to use.
- Then choose the OK button. For help with the Options dialog box, choose
- the Help button or press F1 while using the dialog box. Then print as
- normal.
-
- Note: If the current default printer does not support duplex printing,
- the duplex option will not appear in the dialog box. (See README.TXT
- file under topic, KNOWN PROBLEMS for more information)
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------- VERSION 2.10 April 30, 1993 -----------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Fixed bug that would occasionally spool a job to Print Manager but not
- print. It appears to occur only for jobs that require less than one
- sheet.
-
- [] Changed the FONT dialog to always display with a gray background to be
- consistent with the other dialogs.
-
- [] Not sure this is a bug as much as it was an omission. When duplex
- printing was implemented, it was not implemented for use with the
- DRAG-AND-DROP feature. It is now, along with some other convenience
- features.
-
- [] Fixed bug that did not gray the header or footer edit control if
- unchecked.
-
-
- ** Enhancements ***********************************************************
-
- [] You can now DRAG-AND-DROP files while CodePrint is MINIMIZED with the
- duplex option ON and it works. You will get the normal message about
- turning over the sheets and placing them back in the printer after the
- first printing pass is complete, just like RESTORED mode operation.
- However, to complete pass 2 printing, click the CodePrint icon to
- display the Control/System Menu. Then select Print Pass 2 to complete
- duplex printing for the dropped file(s). To cancel pass 2, select Cancel
- Pass 2. You can also toggle Duplex Printing mode from the Control Menu.
-
- Other selections include changing the configuration and displaying the
- information dialog.
-
- If you normally use CodePrint in the DRAG-AND-DROP mode you can now
- perform most task without restoring the application.
-
- Note: When pass 2 is pending the printer light on the icon (right side
- of printer) changes from BLACK to RED. After selecting Print
- Pass 2 or Cancel Pass 2 it changes back to BLACK.
-
- [] This leads to the other important new feature. The ability to run
- multiple copies of CodePrint has been re-implemented. For the users
- who actually read these files you will notice that this feature was
- disabled in v1.16. This feature needed to be tested and now appears to
- work very well.
-
- You can now open several copies of CodePrint, each with a different
- configuration and DROP files to the icon with the configuration you
- want to use.
-
- [] Added the option to print the default wrap symbol '===>', or not print
- it. If this option is checked, which will print the wrap symbol, you
- can also change the symbol you want to use for wrapped lines. This
- feature is accessed from the Page Layout dialog.
-
- [] Added a third border option which will print only a divider between
- columns. This feature is accessed from the Page Layout dialog.
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------- VERSION 2.02 March 5, 1993 -----------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Fixed bug that caused erratic program behavior when using a long header
- or footer.
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------- VERSION 2.01 February 8, 1993 ---------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [] Code maintenance.
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------- VERSION 2.00 January 25, 1993 ---------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Enhancements ***********************************************************
-
- [] Added Duplex Printing option to the Options menu item. When this option
- is checked, duplex printing is enabled. If this option is unchecked, the
- default, duplex printing is disabled.
-
- Duplex printing allows you to print on both sides of the paper. Duplex
- printing requires two passes. You first select the files you want to
- print and choose the Print File(s) button. After the files are sent to
- the printer or Print Manager, the following message is displayed.
-
- When printing is complete, turn sheets over and re-insert in printer so
- the blank-side of the first sheet is on the top. Then choose the Print
- File(s) button again.
-
- Press OK. You will notice that the files are still listed in the Print
- list box. Next, after all the sheets are ejected from the printer,
- re-insert them in the printer and choose the Print File(s) button to
- print on the back of the sheets, which completes duplex printing.
-
- Due to the variety of printers on the market, you may have to experiment
- with the order the sheets are output from the printer and the order and
- orientation required when placed back in the input tray. Therefore it is
- suggested that you print only one file with multiple sheets for test
- purposes. (See On-Line help for more detailed information).
-
- NOTE: Due to the way duplex printing is implemented you should not
- enable it when printing to a network printer.
-
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Fixed bug that would not allow further printing if a print job was
- cancelled.
-
- [] Improved the keyboard interface for the main dialog window so now the
- TAB key will always move between the controls even if CodePrint loses
- focus due to switching applications.
-
- [] Fixed bug that would not prompt to save changes during Exit when changes
- were made to the Options menu.
-
-

- a previous instance is already running, the first instance of CodePrint
- will move in front of any other applications.
-
-
- ** Enhancements ***********************************************************
-
- [] Changed File menu to have a Save and Save As option. The Save option
- and the Save button on the toolbar will save the current configuration.
- The Save As option will display the Save As dialog. You can save the
- configuration using the same name or a new name.
-
- [] Added option to display page summary information for the currently

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Fixed bug that would not find the REGORDER.FRM file if the Working
- Directory was not the same as the Command Line or start-up directory.
- This file must be in the same directory as the CODEPRNT.EXE to print it

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Enhancements ***********************************************************
-
- [] Added Ignore Form Feed option to the Options menu item. When this option
- is checked, form feed characters are ignored. If this option is
- unchecked (default), form feed characters are recognized and will
- start a new page.

- Note: Form Feed characters must be column 1.
-
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Previous versions ignored FORM FEED characters. Version 1.12 corrects

- ---------------------- VERSION 1.11 July 02, 1992 ----------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** Enhancements ***********************************************************
-
- [] Added Options menu item to main menu bar. The submenu option is the
- Use Path command. When this option is checked, CodePrint will use the
- PATH and FILE SPEC saved with the current configuration as the working
- directory during startup and when a saved configuration is opened. If
- this option is not checked, CodePrint will use the default working
- directory, as listed in the Program Managers "Program Item Properties"
- dialog for the CodePrint icon item, during startup and when a saved
- configuration is opened.
-
- [] Added Truncate option to the Options menu. When this option is checked,
- all lines are truncated if wider than the page. If this option is
- unchecked (default), all lines wider than the page will wrap to
- the next line.
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Fixed problem that would not blank out the SIZE and MODIFIED status
- fields when opening a saved configuration.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ---------------------- VERSION 1.10 June 24, 1992 ----------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** IMPORTANT ***********************************************************
-
- Due to the addition of FULL margin support, configurations saved with v1.00
- will not read the correct information for the PAGE dialog. To correct this
- problem you can delete the CodePrint.INI file or open each saved config-
- uration and change each option.
-
-
- ** Enhancements ***********************************************************
-
- [] Added FULL support for margins. You can now adjust the left, top, right
- and bottom margins individually. This feature corrects the problem with
- Dot Matrix printers that would push the right or bottom margin off the
- page depending on the current orientation. This new feature can be
- found on the Page Layout dialog.
-
- [] Added the ability for the user to change the number of spaces used to
- expand tabs. The default value is 8. A value of 0 essentially removes
- tabs.
-
-
- ** Bug Fixes ***********************************************************
-
- [] Fixed bug that would not change to the saved path and file spec when a
- new configuration was opened.
-
- [] Fixed bug that allowed a none wildcard file spec to be saved with a
- configuration.
-
- [] Corrected bug that would save the window position when application was
- closed from iconic state.
