What's New in The RaLin Reader:
Changes/Additions since the last release!
The Reader:
These were added in version 2.0, but 2.0 was pulled due to a bug, so they
are listed here for version 2.01
Version 2.0
ALT-X : Execute Dos Command, Batch File or Program without having
to Exit the Reader. Program swaps to EMS or Disk during the
execution of the command.
C Comment : At any time during view, you can send a personal comment to
the output device. This would be the printer, or the Capture
file toggled with ALT-P. This can also be used to send a blank
line to the device, while printing single lines, as the ALT-L
command will not send a line if it's blank.
Editor
Parameters : You can now configure the reader to send command switches to
your editor if it accepts them.
ALT-1,2,3 : Printer command strings, set up in RRCONFIG. You can send any
of these commands to the printer during your session with the
reader.
Swapping : The RaLin Reader now swaps all but about 13k of itself to EMS
if available, or a temporary disk file if not, during calls to
external programs, The Editor, Dos Shell, Dos Commands.
Pick List : A Pick List is now presented at various places.
1. If you do not specify a filename on the command line then
the list is shown.
2. When you press ALT-N for NewFile, the picklist is
presented.
Version 2.01
* Added another printer command, assigned to ALT-4
* Some status line prompts have been replaced with Dialog
Boxes. More to be changed soon.
ALT-M : Mark Text. You can now "mark" text for printing or writing to
Capture File.
F8 : Print Marked Text.
***************************************************************************
The Configuration Program:
Now includes a Help Screen accessed with F1.
Also has a single line of Help displayed for each field as you cursor
through them.
Configure the 3 Printer Commands for the ALT-1,2,3 keypresses.
Field editing mode can be activated with the ENTER key as well as
the old F9 key.
Due to the extra space required for the new values, the Example screen
for color choices/settings is now displayed only on command via F5.
F2 now calls the Color Attribute Chart.
The DEMO version of RRCONFIG (CFGDEMO) is running a little behind the
reader, but you can still get the idea. The Registered version is up to
date.
