▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
+ - BugFix
* - New feature
$ - Enhancement of old feature
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
* - F10 will now shell to DOS instead of exit.
$ - Hitting the first letter of a file will now go backwards if you are
at the end of a list.
+ - If you were at the pick directory list, you could hit F2 until the
program crashed. Fixed.
+ - Trying to delete a file when you have no files will not cause an
error.
+ - A long comment in an archived file was overwriting the rest of the
screen in a status box.
+ - CD-ROM directories were not able to be found. Fixed.
$ - You can delete a config file from the directory pick list now.
+ - Programs that messed with the number of lines on the screen was not
being reset. Fixed.
+ - Deleting a file cause a window to appear instead of a box.
$ - Supports the latest version of ARJ.
* - Plays DEMOS through the use of Mega_Exts.
$ - Will now save in sorted order if desired.
+ - Runtime Error 203's should be gone.
$ - Scrolling pick lists has the same meaning on going up or down.
$ - Pick lists are bigger now.
+ - Deleting a file from a master list that wasn't compressed was not
possible.
* - Ability to play different extensions from one list via a MEL.
$ - Faster scanning/reading of config files and archives. Also, the
config files are smaller.
$ - Support for more than 9 players! Now will allow up to 35.
* - Configurable colors.
* - Ability to tag / untag files by wildcard.
$ - Some optimization was done.
$ - Rescan was changed to do :
1) Rescan the single directory if that is what is open.
2) Rescan all defined directories if you are in a MASTER list.
3) Rescan all extensions and their directories if you are in a
MEL.
$ - Runtime error 202 should be gone.
$ - Totally revamped config files based on directory name hashing.
$ - Totally revamped CFG file based on keywords. NEWCFG.EXE will update
the old. This allows multiple directories to be stored in the CFG
file.
$ - Multiple work dirs can be defined instead of just one.
$ - X-MASTER will search the path for archivers. Also, archivers are no
longer required if you don't use one or more of them.
$ - You can sort by different keys now. Name, extension, date...
$ - Three second delay between playing of files instead of five.
* - Allow multiple archives to be extracted using Ctrl-Enter or
Alt-Enter. If you have any multi-disk demos, this will make them
all extract to the directory and then you can pick an executable
from that. Furthermore, if you have a player that supports a "@
style playlist" (like DMP), you can use this feature to play them
all.
$ - 286/386 instructions enabled leaving off 8088 market. Sorry! Let
me know if you need an 8088 version.
$ - Menu was changed because I ran out of function keys. All function
keys still work, but I won't tell you about them! Try using the Alt
keys.
$ - User interface was changed to wrap around.
$ - The sorting can go in either direction.
$ - If you scan a list with more than 300 files, it will prompt you to
make sure. (It can take a while!)
