Development history of OSCAR
Version Date Remarks
------- -------- ---------------------------------------------------
1.00 6-15-91 * Initial Release.
===============================================================================
1.01 7-1-91 * Modified write decimal to display upto 655,350,000
for larger disk drive free space, was limited
to 65,535,000 (Problem: the machine appeared to
lock up when trying to display a number greater
than 65,535,000. STATUS: Fixed)
* Fixed erase hilighted so that FILES points into
file block at the right place by correcting
scroll up and down.(Problem: if you scroll
down, then erase the hilighted file, update erase
screen facility displayed the wrong files.
STATUS: Fixed.)
* Updates to the manual.
* Minor bug fixes.
===============================================================================
1.02 7-3-91 * Added ERASE read only file checking. Alert the
to user that he/she is about to mark a read-only
7-5-91 file for Erase and get response.
* Fixed WC unmarking facility. (Problem: incorrectly
showed updated file counts in Copy and Move Mode
after the files were unmarked. STATUS: Fixed.)
* Fixed destination window update for unmarking
files for Copy or Move. (Problem: When unmarking
a file that already exists on the destination
the destination window update was incorrect if the
files were different sizes. STATUS: Fixed.)
* Fixed WC marking facility so it correctly
continues marking after overwrite warning is
answered with "Don't Overwrite". (Problem: When
WC marking a hole slew of files the WC facility
disregared "Don't Overwrite" for overwrite
warning response and marked the file anyway.
STATUS: Fixed.)
* Added message warnings into OSCARHDI.COM.
With this incarnation of the OSCAR package I still
haven't got around to coding OSCARHDI so it can
detect if an AUTOEXEC.BAT file has already been
modified for OSCAR. (Problem: If your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file has been already modified to
run OSCAR from anywhere and you then select "Yes
modify AUTOEXEC.BAT" OSCARHDI proceeds to add the
required statements regardless if they already
exist. STATUS: In work.)
* Updates to the manual
===============================================================================
1.03 7-6-91 * Fixed Copy and Move modes so that if the file
to copy or move already exists on the destination
and is a Read Only file and you wish to overwrite
it with the source file you can.(Problem: When
trying to overwrite a read only file OSCAR would
NOT overwrite the file and would give the
impression that it had...until the listings
reappeared and the old file still existed.
STATUS: Fixed.)

Version Date Remarks
------- -------- ---------------------------------------------------
1.03 7-6-91 * Added Overwrite Read Only file Checking to alert
the user that the file already exists and is
Read Only and get response.
* Fixed Select Source drive facility.
(Problem: When you selected a new Source Drive in
Copy, Move or Erase mode OSCAR refreshed the free
space on the destination, by reading from the disk,
whether files were marked or not. Also, if you
aborted the drive selection the file mark counters
were prematurly reset assuming that you were GOING
to change your source drive. Thus, not allowing
you to Move, Copy or Erase the visibly marked
files. STATUS: Fixed.)
7-8-91 * Added intelligent file marking in copy mode.
If you have secondary marks then you remove a
primary mark while in copy mode OSCAR will
search the file list and mark any files that will
fit in the area that was relenquished when you
removed the primary mark.
* Major manual revision.
* Minor revision of the invoice and READ_ME.DOC
===============================================================================
1.04 7-16-91 * Began inserting EQU statements in source code
in preparation for color implementation.
* Added intelligent file marking in move mode.
* Added wild card marking in view mode.
* Added rescan of both Source and Destination
file listings on return from DOS Shell and
file Exec to show possible changes.
* Added Program Information selection in the
Options menu.
* Updates to manual.
