The following four files are included in DMATE.ZIP:
DISKMATE.EXE
DISKMATE.DOC - The DISKMATE.DOC file is formatted with a left-hand margin
for 3-hole punching and contains formfeeds for continuous
sheets. If sending the DOC file to a printer, start your
paper about 1" from the top for proper top and bottom
margins.
READ.ME - (this file)
FIX.EXE - IMPORTANT!!! If you are upgrading to version 1.10 from any
previous version, you must run FIX.EXE from the directory
your current DiskMate databases reside (DISKFILE.DBF must be
present). If you are using DiskMate version 1.10 for the
first time, or have already run FIX.EXE you can delete
FIX.EXE.
The purpose of FIX.EXE is to lengthen the database field
containg directory information in the DISKFILE.DBF file. The
integrity of your existing DISKFILE.DBF will be preserved and
this file will be renamed to DISKFILE.DBK. Should any problem
occur, you can simply rename DISKFILE.DBK back to
DISKFILE.DBF. Once you are satisfied that everything is
working okay, you can delete the DISKFILE.DBK file and save
the disk space. Before running FIX.EXE, make sure you have
enough free space on your hard drive at least equal to the
size of your original DISKFILE.DBF. If your database is
large, this could take some time. After the fix is made,
FIX.EXE will reindex necessary files and let you know when it
is done.
Fixes as of 02/01/92 (ver 1.01)
> F3 (Switch Floppy Drives) wasn't working. Fixed.
> Number of Records (Main Menu) wasn't reflecting a current count after
deleting a box or disk and Packing the databases. Fixed.
Fixes/changes as of 05/04/92 (ver 1.10)
> Error Handler
In the event of an error, will create a small text file (ERROR.TXT)
indicating cause of error. After file is written, you are returned to the
Main Menu where you can quit the program normally. The information in the
ERROR.TXT file can then be sent to us for a remedy.
> Minor Screen Enhancements - Display of subdirectories and file names during
processing.
> Alt-M (Monochrome monitor mode) - Changed to a toggle and updates Main
Menu screen accordingly.
> Label (Screen Output) - Revised for better looking display.
> Move Disk - Resolved box numbering bug when moving a disk from one box
to another. Also provides for changing Disk Name or Description.
> Label (Printed Labels) - 3 Sizes of Labels (5-1/4, 3-1/2, & mailing label
sizes.
File names sorted alphabetically by directories.
Directory names printed (Full version).
Controls for turning borders on or off.
Type of border character (graphic or non-graphic).
Ability to define and send printer codes for
compressed and 8LPI.
Multi-page labels (with fold-lines) showing ALL file
names.
> Default Disk Drive - Does not always default to A:. If you change the
Floppy drive (F3), it will remain the same (even on sub-
sequent runs) until you change it again.
> Better drive error handling. If you leave drive door open or don't put in a
floppy, you won't get DOS error messages.
Instead you'll get a friendly notice and the
program will resume after you correct the
situation.
> Longer DIRECTORY field in database - Allows for a longer chain of
subdirectories.
\SUBDIR1\SUBDIR2\SUBDIR3\SUBDIR4\SUBDIR5\SUBDIR6
Be sure to run FIX.EXE if upgrading to version 1.10 (see
above).
