REVISION HISTORY
==============================================================================
5.8
o New rights have been added for both menu items and notices:
T=TODAY where TODAY=su,mo,tu,we,th,fr,sa,su. {t=mo,tu}..
>=DATE greater than today's date. {>=03/07/1994}..
==DATE equal to today's date. {>=03/07/1994}..
<=DATE less than today's date. {<=03/07/2002}..
o DMutil now has more informative help screens.
5.7c
o Fixed a screen problem that prevented TSRs (such as NoteWorks)
from displaying their messages on top of DOSmenu's screen.
5.7b o Fixed problem that stopped mouse from working in menu system
under various circumstances (registered version only).
5.7a
o Fixed a problem where the temporary batch file, when used,
would not work correctly if more than 99 users were
connected to a file server.
5.7
o Five optional global alternate function key DOS commands have
been added. Hold down the alternate key to see the text for
these commands, which are defined in DOSMENU.INI.
o The network node address, if captured to a DOS variable, is
now shown on the menu screen.
o DMutil now has a command that allows you to 'see' all tabs and
spaces in a file. This helps you remove errant/extra spaces
and tabs in your menu files.
o A file viewer, calendar, network queue changer, and network
printing utility has been added to the registered bonus
package.
5.6b
o Both the View DOS Screen and View Concurrent Usage commands
can be password protected if menu timing is enabled. This
is to protect the menu timing and automatic quit feature.
5.6a
o Concurrent usage of metered applications (F8) is now real time
and continuous. This can also be accomplished on the
command line with DMMETER /VIEW.
5.6
o Users may now run their own personal menus from their defined
private directories. They can also edit and maintain their
personal menu file (both of these options can be disabled).
o You can now view concurrent usage of all metered applications
from within the menu system.
o You can now view the actual commands for a menu item.
o More useful comments have been added to the startup batch
file.
o Additional network notes have been added to the DMUSERS.DOC
file.
o Many small but useful improvements have been made.
5.5
o The lead character for DOSmenu's temporary DOS variables has
been changed from '@' to '_' to be compatible with 4DOS.
Make sure you change the @ symbols in your start-up MENU.BAT
file accordingly, or either re-install your system with the
DMUTIL /M command.
5.4
o DOSmenu now always returns to the last menu and item after
running a menu command.
o An external screen saver function is available with the
registered version. You may use it or any other screen
saver file you wish.
5.3
o Minor bug fixes to problems that sometimes allowed a menu
loaded with either the /LOAD or /MENU commands to lock the
system.
o Minor bug fixes to problems that sometimes allowed a menu file
to be misread with the wrong rights assigned (usually too
few rights).
o The view DOS screen option is gone to conserve memory.
o The screen saver option is gone to conserve memory.
o The maximum sub-menus per main menu file has been increased
from 9 to 15 maximum (depending on DOS memory available).
5.2c
o A new option has been added to DMutil that allows parsing of
specific user ID entries from the central log file, if used.
5.2b
o A new right, SHOWMETERDOT, has been added to allow you to not
display the meter dot by metered items on the menu, or to
display a dot in case you are metering externally with
DMmeter.
5.2a
o A new right, ENVIRONMENT, has been added to test for any DOS
env var you wish. {e=envvar~envvar_text}.
5.2
o A software metering service has been added to this version.
See DOSMENU.DOC for specifics.
o A combined central log file option has been added to enhance
the logging capabilities. This is in contrast to the normal
logging of user activites to a private user log file.
o The bug that caused the MENU.BAT contents to echo to the
screen instead of being written to the file during initial
installation (DMUTIL /M) has been corrected.
o Other minor corrections have been made.
5.1a
o Minor corrections only.
5.1
{
Ver 5.1 has changed its startup MENU.BAT file and its DOSMENU.INI file and has
added a few requirements. Note that some function keys have also changed.
For UPGRADE evaluators/registered users only:
o Make sure all of your menu files end with .MNU (and are called that way).
o Make sure your DMUTIL.EXE is in the same directory as DOSMENU.EXE.
o Follow the Quick Start instructions (listed with DMUTIL ?). Running
DMUTIL /M is safe as it will not overwrite of your menu files. Delete
your DOSMENU.INI file and startup batch file first so that new ones can
be made for you.
}
o Added the capability to load new main menus permanently with
the /MENU command. This is an improvement over the /LOAD
command. See DOSMENU.DOC for specifics.
o Added a main screen title option for company name, etc.
o Added additional security options.
o The extension .MNU is now required for menu files.
o Changed DMQuery's DOS variables to work better with 4DOS.
o The DOSMENU.INI lines can now be in any order, and some lines
have been added and changed.
o The startup MENU.BAT has changed slightly (but importantly).
5.0
o Revamped DMutil (and its internal editor) completely. The
editor is now a multi-file, windowed, mouse-driven editor
with standard shift-key or mouse blocking conventions
employed. DMutil must reside in DOSmenu's home directory.
It can be password-protected.
o Added ability to interactively edit all menu system files with
DMutil. Results are immediately processed and displayed.
This option can be password-protected.
o Added complete user logging capability. Log file shows date,
time, menu action, user, node, server, and memory stats for
user station.
o Fixed problem whereby temporary batch file was sometimes
sporatically written.
4.2a,b
o Fixed problems that developed if an empty note file was
present at startup.
4.2
o Fixed problem where DOSmenu did not always load additional
menu files correctly.
4.1c
o Fixed bug that allowed user to keep the notice file open after
reading it, which further disallowed admin editing while
users where in their menu system.
4.1b
o Forces DOSmenu to 25 line screen if not already there.
4.1a
o Bug fixes in notices and additional LOCATION right added for
notices.
4.1
o Full mouse support added (with registered version only).
4.0
o First shareware release.
