-----------------------------------
26 Sep 91 Ver 1.51
- Modified the routine which gets word under cursor (TSR mode) to
ignore the "()" characters.
14 Sep 91 Ver 1.50
- Added capability to search an external data file. If the default
file MY-DATA.DAT exists, it will be searched in whatever search mode
the program is in. This file will be searched when run from the
command line or while running as a TSR.
- Added /D switch to specify the name of the external data file to
use. This switch works from the command line or when FAC is installed
as a TSR.
- Added the F5 key to prompt for a line of data to append to the
default/specified external data file. The F5 key can add data to the
external datafile without leaving the program, including while
operating as a TSR.
- Implemented sensing and appropriate use of monochrome/color
attributes.
- Added the /B switch to force monochrome mode.
- Fixed minor bug in which one additional search was made after Esc
was pressed.
- Put switch options in alphabetical order in both the /H screen
output and the documentation.
- The Find Area Code (FAC) distribution file is now created using
PKZip's Authenticity Verification (AV) feature. This guarantees BBSs
and users virus-free, unmodified files. If after unzipping your
distribution files you don't see the message:
Authentic files Verified! # EOA070 MICHAEL K. MOLLOY
get another copy of the file from me, CompuServe, another vendor, or
another BBS.
