VERSION 1.2
1) The shareware screen displayed when MemTool is first loaded
is smaller, and no longer requires a key to be pressed to
resume.
2) MemTool now allows the user to specify the "hot-key" to be used
to invoke the program. The "hot-key" is specified when MemTool
is first loaded. Refer to the file MANUAL.DOC for complete
details.
3) The Appointment Calendar has a much better appointment pad with
"time slots" and a larger capacity. Some bugs and enhancements
where made to the calendar, itself.
4) The PhoneView option now allows Ctrl-PgUp and Ctrl-PgDn, to
quickly jump to the start and end of your phone numbers.
5) Note that pressing the "hot-key" once inside MemTool no longer
terminates MemTool immediately. You must use the <ESC> key.
6) The calculator can be moved around the screen. Just press the
Num-Lock key to enable the key-pad arrows, and move the calculator
to any position on the screen.
7) The Alarm Clock sound, made when the alarm goes off, is no longer
a continuous noise. It sounds for 3 seconds.
8) Bug fixed which caused the system to lock-up if the user tried to
run MemTool a second time, while using Disk-Swapping.
VERSION 2.0 (03/01/90)
1) Main Menu was enlarged to fit the extra options.
2) Screen Capture option added.
3) Ruler/Grid option added.
4) PhoneView option enlarged to hold 500 entries. Loads faster too.
PhoneView columns are reversed so Name is first.
5) Calculator had a bug where when you first used it, you could only
enter 5 digits.
6) MemTool's default "hot-key" has changed from Ctrl-Enter to Ctrl-Alt.
7) Modifications to the Editor:

Various other bugs fixed.
8) Alternate hot-key is no longer specified on the MT command line.
9) The MemTool Setup option has been removed. It's not needed anymore.
Setup is done through "switches" specified in the Autoexec.Bat file:
SET MTPATH= Is the path of where the MemTool files are stored.
SET MTDS= Is the path of where DiskSwapping files are stored.
SET MTFLAGS= Sets various MemTool options:
/D Use diskswapping.
/I Ignore EMS memory if available.
/Ncode If MemTool will be used on a network. "code" is
a UNIQUE code that differentiates the users.
/Hxxx,xxx,desc Use a hot-key other than the default (Ctrl-Alt).
Switches needed if default values are not acceptable. (see manual).
10) Appearance of MemTool screens was slightly modified.
VERSION 2.01 (05/30/90)
1) Bug fixed where "Disk-swapping" files (SR01, SR02, etc.) were not
being automatically erased by the program.
VERSION 3.0 (09/01/91 current version)
1) Option Switches used to setup how MemTool operates have been changed
and some have been removed since version 2.x.
2) Program modified to pop-up and restore graphics screens more reliably
then before. Supports CGA/EGA/VGA screens. Will work on some Hercules
graphics images.
3) MemTool can only be loaded into memory once. If you try to load it a
second time, the program will remind you that it is already loaded.
4) It is no longer unsafe to invoke MemTool while DOS is busy. The program
can be popped-up AT ANY TIME without adverse effects.
5) Bug fixed where the program would pop-up unexpectedly when WordPerfect
was run.
6) Program now uses about 280K of RAM memory if Disk-swapping is not used,
and EMS memory is not available. Otherwise, the program will use about
5K RAM.
7) If popped-up over a mouse application, MemTool will now restore the mouse
to it's original state after pop-down.
8) The DOS Quick Guide was removed from the program due to lack of interest
and to save RAM and disk space.
9) The appearance of all windows was changed, un-needed wording was removed,
and basic color enhancements added.
10) File Editor can load files up to 63K in byte size and up to 3000 lines
in length.
11) DiskView option was replaced by DOS Shell. DOS Shell allows you to view
the contents of any directory on any drive. You can copy, delete, move,
and rename files.
12) PhoneView renamed Phone Dialer. Feature added to allow user to quick
dial a phone number, if a modem is installed.
13) Alarm Clock option was modified to allow to specify entire date, including
the year, for the alarm date.
14) The ASCII Table now displays characters 1 thru 31, and shows the HEX
values of all the characters, and table can be printed.
15) The Screen Ruler option had a few unwanted features removed. It now only
displays a horizontal and vertical ruler.
16) Print options were added to the Calendar, Phone Dialer, and ASCII Table
to allow printing of the data in these options. Supports network
laser printers.
17) Screen Saver feature option added. Specify number of seconds of keyboard
inactivity it takes to blank the screen.
