- PROGRAMMER'S FILE PRINTER Development history
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Version 1.00.025 February 28 1991
- ---------------------------------
-
- This is the first public release.
-
-
- Version 2.00.002 May 11 1991
- ----------------------------
-
- This version is a major rewrite, with many new facilities.
-
- - The main window now has a menu, and has been made smaller and less cluttered.
- - Files can be dumped in hexadecimal and ASCII.
- - Files can be printed or dumped in part.
- - The main window can be iconised while printing is in progress.
- - The various dialog windows have been redesigned to be easier to use.
- - Page throws can be suppressed to save paper.
- - The print dialog window now shows what percentage of a file has been processed
- - Various bugs have been cleared.
-
-
- Version 2.00.003 May 16 1991
- ----------------------------
-
- This version fixes a bug that made it impossible to specify some file types
- in the "File Type Selection" dialog. The edit controls had been made too narrow
- to accomodate some types such as ".asm" or ".mmm" (whereas types such as ".c"
- or ".txt", needing less space in the proportional system font, were accepted).
- This has also necessitated a little re-arrangement in the main window, which
- also did not have quite sufficient space allowed for the file type strings.
-
-
- Version 2.01.009 September 11 1991
- ----------------------------------
-
- This version contains a number of bug fixes, and some new facilities:
-
- - The program no longer crashes if it cannot open a file for printing (due to
- its having been deleted by another process, or a share violation, for example)
- - There is now full online help, accessed from the Help Menu.
- - Files can now be printed in reverse page order, which can be useful for
- devices such as laser printers that stack the pages the 'wrong' way. Reverse
- order is selected on a per-device basis and may be different for each
- attached printer type
- - Page headers include the current date and time, and the date and time when
- the file was last changed
- - PFP remembers the name of the printer last selected in the 'Printer Setup'
- dialog and uses that device in subsequent sessions
- - PFP can be configured to remember the current working directory when it
- closes, provided that this is for a local hard disk or a network drive, and
- to attempt to return to it when restarted
- - PFP now rescans the current directory whenever it becomes the current
- application and the directory is a hard disk or network drive. This keeps the
- list of files in line with changes that may have been made by other
- applications
