ESS-Code 7.2
Copyright 1993, 1994, 1995, Michel Forget
Electric Storm Software
The documentation for this archive is located in ESSCODE.TXT, which
should be located in the same directory as this document. This list of
bug fixes and changes made to ESS-Code is in chronological order; the new
information appears at the end of the document.
May 30, 1995: ESS-Code 6.4a
[These problems have been solved.]
BUG #1: ESS-Code 6.4 inserts an "extra" backslash in the
filename of the program manager item created by the
installation program. This would prevent ESS-Code
from executing properly.
BUG #2: ESS-Code does not prevent the user from executing
the client modules directly. The only module that
can be executed directly is "eshell.exe".
June 4, 1995: ESS-Code 6.4b
[These problems have been solved.]
BUG #3: When things go wrong, they rarely do so in an insignificant way. ESS-Code would not operate properly on many system
because it could not execute the server modules correctly. An
extra backslash was mistakenly inserted into the filename at
execution time, thus causing an error. This problem did not
affect Windows95 users or OS/2 Warp users. For those that it
did affect, though, ESS-Code would not work at all.
July 2, 1995: ESS-Code 6.6
[These problems have been solved.]
BUG #4: The status display was not being updated correctly.
Old information, such as parts of words or numbers,
was not being erased before the new information was
drawn.
BUG #5: The MIME-Decode file conversion method was capable of
corrupting the address space of ESS-Code, which would cause
a system crash. This problem did not seem to affect anyone,
but it is now fixed.
BUG #6: The "Split File" & "Join File" commands did not update the status
display after completion.
NEW: ESS-Code now allows the user to drag a file from the program
manager (or explorer) and drop it on the ESS-Code application
window. If such an action is taken, ESS-Code will display a
dialog box asking how the file should be processed.
July 7, 1995: ESS-Code 6.7
[These problems have been solved.]
There are days when nothing happens the way it should; the days the
previous version of ESS-Code was released was apparently one of those
days. The drag & drop support did not work in the previous version,
and there were a number of "empty" alert boxes in the installation
program. This release solves those problems. I apologize for any
inconvenience my error might have caused you.
MIME-Encoding has also been fixed. This problem only affected the 16-BIT
version, so users of the 32-BIT version were never troubled by it.
July 25, 1995: ESS-Code 6.8
NEW: The Windows95 user interface has now been applied to ESS-Code.
NEW: ESS-Code now has an installation wizard to automate the setup
process.
NEW: ESS-Code can now be uninstalled automatically by Windows95.
July 27, 1995: ESS-Code 6.9
[These problems are now solved.]
BUG #7: There were several small typographical errors in the setup wizard
and the application itself.
July 29, 1995: ESS-Code 7.0 (BETA)
[These problems have been solved.]
BUG #8: The CTL3D32.DLL dynamic link library was not being installed
correctly for Windows95 Build #501 -- it worked fine for previous
builds, apparently.
August 5th, 1995: ESS-Code 7.1 (Release Version)
[These problems have been solved.]
[ESS-Code has now been tested with Windows95 b490c - no problems were found.]
[ESS-Code has now been tested with WindowsNT 3.51 - no problems were found.]
BUG #9: In some situations, ESS-Code would not be able to locate the
second and subsequent segments of a multi-part UUEncoded
file.
BUG #10: The F1 key will now actually open the online help instead of
generating a spurious warning.
NEW: ESS-Code now allows you to view the LOG file.
NEW: ESS-Code now allows you to print the LOG file.
NEW: The setup utility has been improved.
August 8th, 1995: ESS-Code 7.2 (Maint. Release)
[These problems have been solved.]
NEW: The ESS-Code LOG now shows the date and time of each entry.
BUG FIX: The "Split File" function now works with Windows95/NT. When a file
is split, an extension is appended to the end of the original
filename. The original extension is not lost.
EX: This Is A Long Name.ZIP = This Is A Long Name.ZIP.1
BUG FIX: The "Join File" function now works with Windows95/NT.
BUG FIX: The "Split File" & "Join File" features now identify themselves
correctly in the ESS-Code LOG.
If you have any problems with ESS-Code, please contact mforget@worldgate.com
as quickly as possible. This application is a work-in-progress at all
times, and will continue to be updated frequently as new features are added
and problems are solved. The more quickly you make your problem known,
the more quickly it will be resolved.
ESS-Code has been tested with the latest builds of Windows95 & WindowsNT
without any apparent trouble.
