Version 1.02 -- April 17, 1996

646-3975. 4DOS is a registered trademark and 4OS2, Take Command, and
Take Command/32 are trademarks of JP Software Inc. Other brand and
product names are trademarks of their respective owners.
Check through this file for a comprehensive list of what's changed in
Take Command/16 for Windows 3.x since version 1.01. Additional
documentation on new features is in the online help. Information about
product changes before version 1.01 may be viewed at our web page
(http://www.jpsoft.com) by selecting Take Command and then Product
History. Many product history files are also available in our
Compuserve forum (GO PCVENB or GO JPSOFT, library 10 / JP Software, look
for files named UPxxxxxx.ZIP).
Some of the descriptions below may be more detailed than you need; if
you aren't using a feature, feel free to skip to the next item. If you
are new to Take Command with version 1.01, you can skip this file
entirely, and begin with the Introduction and Installation Guide.
This file is divided into the following sections:
General Features and Enhancements
Startup and Initialization
Command Changes
Technical, Compatibility, and Bug Fixes
Significant new features and those which affect most users are marked
with "**" in the lists below. Other items discuss smaller or more
technical changes.
This file is formatted at 58 lines per page, and contains form feeds and
page footers. It can be viewed with a file viewer such as the LIST
command, or printed on most PC printers using the command:
copy updat102.doc prn
Printing it with a program that formats the pages is not likely to work
due to the formatting included in the file.

Take Command/16 1.02 Change List
General Features and Enhancements
---------------------------------
==> ** Increased the maximum history size from 8K to 32K.
==> ** The print dialog now allows printing a marked block of text, by
using the "Print Selection" button. The button will only be
enabled if text is marked.
==> In the find files dialog, removed the file description / date /
time text field from under the list box, due to difficulties
synchronizing updates of this information with list box
scrolling. This information is still available by double-
clicking the file name in this list box.
Startup and Initialization
--------------------------
==> Added a new .INI directive:
AppendToDir = [Yes | NO]: If set to "Yes", TCMD will append
a trailing '\' to directory names when doing filename
completion.
Command Changes
---------------
==> IF ISWINDOW: Now supports wildcards in the window name.
==> ** LIST: Enabled mouse button 2 for "copy & paste" operation inside
LIST. To use this feature, hold the button down and select an
area by dragging the cursor. When you release the button, the
marked area is copied to the clipboard. This is the same
behavior that was already available in the command window.
Technical, Compatibility, and Bug Fixes
---------------------------------------
==> DESCRIPT.ION now allows either a space, tab, or comma as the
delimiter between the filename and the description. This is for
compatibility with some third-party description files.
==> Fixed a problem with marking more than one line using the
keyboard (e.g. using Shift-Home at the end of a multi-line
command).
Take Command 1.02 [04-17-96] UPDAT102.DOC page 2
==> Fixed a problem with files executed via executable extensions.
Double quotes are now added if the name contains whitespace.
==> Fixed a problem with NUL characters in batch files.
==> Fixed a problem with redirection and NoClobber (NoClobber was
effectively being ignored).
==> Fixed a problem with the HistCopy directive.
==> Fixed the Find Files dialog so the Disks box correctly reflects
choices made with the radio buttons.
==> If you are using TCMD/16 as the Windows shell you may now hold
down the SHIFT key when starting TCMD to prevent programs in the
STARTUP group from executing (as you can in Program Manager).
==> Take Command now passes the Pause key on to other applications
(this should resolve problems found while using SpinWizard).
==> The PATH search routine now queries if the specified drive is
ready before attempting to find an external command, which avoids
a critical error message.
==> DDEEXEC: Added a wait to solve a problem slower systems may have
with terminating DDE links and fixed a problem with DDEEXEC not
passing the command arguments.
==> DO: Now allows embedded equal signs in a test condition.
==> FOR: Fixed a problem with include lists in the FOR arguments and
enabled extended parent directory names.
==> IF: Added a work-around for constructs like:
if 1 == 0 echo foo && echo bar
to emulate CMD.EXE's behavior of basing the && condition on the
result of the IF test.
==> INPUT: Fixed a problem with using INPUT /E in a transient shell
and solved a problem with INPUT /W /E which prevented the
existing value from being displayed unless a key was pressed.
==> KEYSTACK: Fixed a sporadic problem with feeding keystrokes to
message boxes.
==> LIST: Fixed problems with: Using Find with wrap on; marking
wrapped lines; marking long lines with several embedded tabs; and
selecting long filenames from the Open dialog.
Take Command 1.02 [04-17-96] UPDAT102.DOC page 3
==> LIST: Improved LIST's ability to find the end of each line
properly in files with unusual line terminations (e.g. CR or LF
alone, LF/CR, CR/CR/LF, etc.).
==> MD: Fixed a problem with /S and UNC names.
