ProPack REVISION HISTORY (reverse order)
========================================
05-01-89 v2.5
Added additional error checking for memory shortage, index file
overflow, crc file overflow, and message lines overflow.
The /W option was not working.
The /H option was not working.
03-24-89 v2.4
Duplicate messages were being counted twice in status display.
Added /E option to exclude tag-lines and via-lines from message
duplication checks.
03-21-89 v2.3
Version 2.2 broke the /T and /D options. Added /W option to keep
PCRelay:'s two-line taglines intact. Added /I option to remove IBM
and high-ascii codes from messages. Changed from 16 bit crc to 32
bit crc. This should virtually eliminate the possibility of two
different messages being judged as "duplicate".
03-17-89 v2.2
Added /H option to control resetting of high-message-number. Use of
this option has the potential of causing messages to be missed, since
it makes it possible for a single message number to be re-used by new
messages. Added code to keep calculated message CRC's in a data
file. This new xxxxx.CRC file will further speed message packing by
eliminating the need to calculate CRCs and check taglines on messages
that have been processed in a prior ProPack run.
03-04-89 v2.1
Added code to erase the aborted *.NEW file when a pack fails. This
prevents leaving your system disk nearly full during your system
event processing. Added a check in /T for some new tagline formats.
Added code to update 'high message number' when the last message(s)
on file are purged. Forward 'refer#'s are now cleared.
02-25-89 v2.0
Deleted /0 option. Changed /1 option to /T -- please update your
batch files. Added /Nxxx option to delete messages older than xxx
days.
02-14-89 v1.9
Added /V, /0, and /1 options to control "* Via" and "* Origin" lines
in your message base. These options slow down the operation quite a
bit, but they are still a lot faster than PCBPACK. Use of the /0 or
/1 option also allows /D to detect messages that differ only by the
number of taglines. Corrected the message numbers reported when /L
is used. Spaces are no longer required between multiple options.
01-17-89 v1.8
Added additional checking for invalid messages to prevent runtime
error 207 on corrupt files.
01-05-89 v1.7
Added additional checking to detect disk-full conditions. Added /L
option to list duplicate message numbers as they are deleted.
12-03-88 v1.6
Added a check for invalid message headers to prevent lockup on some
kinds of message base corruption. Should now be able to fix some
broken message files.
10-09-88 v1.5
Corrected an error in /D duplicate message handler that would
sometimes incorrectly flag the last message as duplicate. More
changes in refer# handler.
09-17-88 v1.4
Improved error handling (.NDX file is left unchanged if there is
trouble installing the new message file). Added /U switch to
preserve UnReceived+Private messages, regardless of other options in
effect. Moved program signon/copyright notice to usage message to
reduce clutter in normal program displays. Forward-pointing refer#'s
are no longer cleared. Packing status is now sent to the screen even
when propack output is redirected to a log file.
07-09-88 v1.3
Updated for PCBoard 14.0 message file format.
DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM ON PCBOARD 12.1 MESSAGE FILES!
06-01-88 v1.2
Added /R switch to purge RECEIVED+PRIVATE messages. Private messages
are now excluded from the /D duplication test. Improved explanation
message when the index is too large for ProPack.
05-27-88 v1.1
Added /D switch to automatically delete duplicate messages during the
pack process. Obsolete refer#'s are now cleared. Initial SourceWare
release.
05-22-88 v1.0
Initial coding and release as PROPCK10.
