WHAT'S NEW:
Since the First release of QView Pro (v2.0) the following changes were
made.
New in version v2.1.
* A problem with the file spooling procedure was corrected. When
a file was spooled, the form type used was form type 1. Most
computers use a default of 0, so this caused the print spooler
to stop and say "mount form type 1 on printer XXX." Now QView
spools jobs with a form type of 0.
* Typing ALT-M to move a job when no job was selected caused QView
to abend. This has been corrected.
* QView was not able to move jobs between queues if drives were
mapped to the SYS: volumes with Map Root. This problem has
been corrected. Note: If you are logged into 7-8 file servers,
at least 2 drives must be free and not be mapped to any volume.
New in version v2.1a.
* Changed the default name of the QVIEW.INI to QVIEW.CFG because
some sites are still using the QView v1.x and the two types
of config files are not exchangable.
* Fixed a bug that would prevent QView from starting up in the
VGA/EGA 50/43 line mode.
New in version v2.1g.
* Changed the installer to provide more information before
"installing" a file server. (shows 60 demo period end)
* Added a reset useage count option to the qvins.exe program
to reset the counts for duplicate and moved jobs.
* Added a program called QVINFO. This program takes a QView
configuration file and produces a text file of all the options.
* Corrected a bug that left aborted job moves on hold.
(an aborted move job occurs when qview is exited before a
job to be moved is done loading)
* Using the ALT key while moving a job causes it to be copied
insted of being moved. ALT-C has the same affect.
* Corrected a bug that caused QView to abend if the 'number of copies'
field for a job was greater than 255.
New in version v2.1.2a
* Changed version number setup to add an extra digit.
* Corrected a problem with the %file size match in the delete
preferences menu.
* Serial number setup changed. (This version is actually a v2.2.0
beta, which has the new serial numbers. You can tell the difference
between the 2.1x serial numbers and the 2.2x numbers. The 2.2x
numbers all begin with QP22.
* Corrected a problem with "service directory" option: Now this option
will spool files from local drives (C:) and drives using Map Root.
* Renamed several function calls in the Netware API library to make
it more consistant with the API provided by novell. This change
should not affect the operation of the program.
* Added a section to the manual for "Suggested Setups". Also updated
were our E-mail address, Phone and Fax numbers.
New in version v2.2.0
* New shareware release completed for distribution.
* New order form included as "ORDER.FRM" and on the last page
of the manual. The new order form also includes distributors and
more shipping information.
New in version v2.2.0d
* Changed the CRC procedure for speed. New function is about 10
times faster. This will only be noticed on files of 1 meg or more.
* Changed mouse procedure to work better on XT computers when using
the double click on a menu.
* Changed the new print queue picklist from a max of 80 to a max
of 150 print queues. (One customer has a lot of print queues!)
New in version v2.2.0h
* Corrected a bug that caused QView to interact with the shell's
search mode, and would not allow jobs to be moved on some
workstations.
* Added PgUP and PgDN keys to scroll queue windows.
* Job move progress is now shown. As data is moved, the file size
of the target job is updated as progress is made.
* Changed CRC procedure to use full 32bit checks. New method is
slightly slower but much more accurate.
* Extended file locking now used. This prevents one workstation
using QView Pro from having problems when a second workstation
deletes a print job. (this only caused conflicts when the
workstation using QView was using the print queue file for CRC
checking or print job data viewing.)
v2.21c
* Corrected the move queue job function with the VLM drivers.
This was all caused by an inconsistancy in the results of the
netware API function AllocateTemporaryDirectoryHandle(), which
seems to map a rood drive under VLMs and a full path in ODI.
v2.22a
* QView.exe now looks for its' own file name rather than just
the file name "QVIEW.EXE" this should cure some problems from
having multiple versions of QView on one system.
* Adjusted stack size to prevent a specific problem on exit after
a timed run.
v2.23
* Added to the overage options a feature to "delete (any)" and
"delete (non active)". The delete option in previous versions
was the same as the new "delete (any)".
v2.24
* Changed the log file date/time format so leading a leading zero
is added to the numbers. The log used to report times as 11:3:34
and will now report 11:03:34.
* Documented the availability of ctrl-enter to be substituted for
the alt-enter command. This is useful if QView is run in a Windows
dos shell. The feature was left out of the documentation.
* Documented the availability of pressing CTRL-H whil in Job View
screen for hex-dump view rather than plain text job view.
* When placing a job on defered print, the default print time is now
the current time plus 24 hours.
