- New for DOSNIX version 0.94k
-
-
- 1. Typing an "!" while in READ will now cause the program to
- shell to DOS. Type "EXIT" from the DOS prompt to return to
- READ without losing your place.
-
- 2. When using the -m option FFIND would report file totals
- which were double what they should have been. Now fixed.

- 1. Another fix for READ. The delay between lines in
- continuous scroll mode is now independent of processor
- speed. The default delay is 128 milliseconds and can be
- adjusted between 0 and 1024 millseconds by using the up
- and down arrow keys. This should allow READ to be used
- comfortably on anything from an XT to a 486/33.

- New for DOSNIX version 0.94i
-
- 1. More bugs have been combed out of LS and FFIND. There
- was a problem with redirecting the column formats of LS
- and the wide format of FFIND. This problem has been fixed
- and, as long as you use the -k option when you redirect the
- output, you should have no problem. FFIND has also been
- given a lower case option similar to LS.
-
- 2. LS has been made EDC compatible. If you scan your drives
- with EDC, LS will accept partial directory names. LS will
- first look for an immediate directory with the specified name.
- If it doesn't find one it will then check PATH.EDC for any
- matches. If no matches are found it will assume you are looking
- for a file with the given name. When using this feature you are
- limited to one argument. If you specify more than one directory
- on the command line, PATH.EDC will not be searched. I have
- tried to make this feature invisible so LS can still be used
- as a stand-alone directory lister. As a result you will get
- no error messages relating to EDC or PATH.EDC.
-
-
- 3. FFIND now has a -e option which will cause the program to
- shell to DOS and execute a command whenever a file is located.
- The name of the located file can be parsed into the command
- argument by inserting a pair of braces wherever you want the
- file to be used. For example:
-
- ffind -e "pkunzip {}" *.zip
-
- would unzip all the ZIP files on the current drive. If a null
- argument is used, FFIND will shell to DOS in the directory in
- which the file is located, giving you an opportunity to do
- whatever you want. For example:
-
- ffind -e "" test.txt
-
- The power of this option is limited only by your imagination.
-
-
- 4. Some minor irritations have been fixed in read. When reading
- from STDIN and using the down arrow key to scroll, the menu bar
- would flicker. Because READ wraps lines longer than 80 columns
- in this mode, it is impossible to have a stationary menu bar. I
- have added a short delay loop which seems to solve the problem,
- at least on XTs. Holding down the up arrow key in continuous
- scroll mode could result in a situation where the keyboard
- buffer filled up and it took some time to deplete it. Problem
- now fixed.
