- Enhanced Flag (EFLAG) History
-
- Version 2.21 *** Now requires you to be using PCBoard v15.21 or higher ***
-
- BIG CHANGE! "EFLAG.CFG" is no longer necessary, even though you may still
- use it if you wish. The new method is to pass the options as command
- line parameters. This greatly speeds things up during startup. See
- INSTALL.BAT for an example. See EFLAG.DOC for more details about
- this. Alternatively, you can refer to "_EFLAG.CFG" which also de-
- scribes this if you like using the config file.
-
- Changed -
- Renamed "YESNO.CFG" to "YESNOCFG" for language awareness.
- Renamed "PROMPT1.CFG" to "PR1CFG" for language awareness.
- Renamed "PROMPT2.CFG" to "PR2CFG" for language awareness.
-
- Fixed - If "YESNO.CFG" is present and user highlights "NSTOP" and hits
- enter (instead of hitting the hotkey) and then says "No" to the
- "Are you sure?" question, it would reprint the previous prompt
- twice(!).
-
- Added - Ability to use spacebar to tag multiple files for downloading.
- This feature allows you to tag a bunch of files and then flag them
- all at once for download. This is much more convenient than the old
- method where you had to highlight and then flag each file in turn.
- Needless to say, you must have "Use space bar as in the old flag
- method" set to "off" in EFLAG.CFG (line #4). With this new feature,
- a line #6 has been added to EFLAG.CFG. Please refer there for an
- example.
-
- Fixed - Strange how no one ever told me this <big shrug>, but if you
- change the value for number of spaces in PROMPT1.CFG and PROMPT2.CFG
- to something other than zero, it doesn't print the highlighted text
- correctly.
-
-
- Verison 2.2
-
- Added - On prompt #1, if user selects nonstop display, EFLAG will now pop
- up with a question asking if they are sure. This will cure people
- who accidentally select nonstop and can't figure out how to abort the
- humongous file listing. To enable this feature, make sure "YESNO.CFG"
- is in the same directory as eflag. If this is not present, this
- feature is automatically disabled.
-
- Added - Delay time in the config file (line 5 in EFLAG.CFG). This will
- put an optional delay between keyboard polls for input, and should
- decrease some of the load put on the CPU/system (most noticeably
- under OS/2). Actually, this feature was added in v2.1, but I just
- forgot to mention it. (doh)
-
- Fixed - If a file was highlighted, hitting "!" for PPE info would have
- the PPE info line partially coloured with the lightbar highlight
- colour. Minor detail. :)
-
-
- Version 2.11 - Released 02-27-95
-
- Fixed/Changed - Removed the behaviour of having the screen restored
- if the meta-command "view" was used in the first prompt (so we're
- back to the previous way). This caused one screen to "jump" by
- if the user, after hitting "V" to view file, decided to hit
- enter without entering anything. Oh well, that's the trade-off.
-
-
- Version 2.1 - Released 02-19-95
-
- Added - Seamless support with BlackCat's FileView PPE v2.0! The docs
- to his File Viewer PPE says to use the EFLAG.PPE that comes with his
- package. You may still do so if you wish, but this version of EFLAG
- works just as well. (Take your pick.)
-
- Fixed - Before when a command at a prompt was set to execute another
- PPE or display a file, upon returning, the highlighted filenames
- would appear one row *below* the actual filename printed on the
- screen.
-
- Fixed - If the "view" meta-command was used (as in the default case
- were PCBVIEW.BAT would be called), the screen would not get restored
- upon returning.
-
- Fixed - Hitting the question mark to show the help screen will no longer
- screw up the output text.
-
-
- Version 2.0 - Released 12-10-95
-
- Changed - Completely rewritten in PPL 3.0 for PCBoard 15.2 only. Some
- features/changes/fixes from Version 1.1 do not even apply any more.
- However, information from 1.1 is still left in this history file to
- retain miscellaneous information that acknowledges the fact that I
- was aware of some "bugs." :)
-
- Changed - Reorganized the whole thing; now there are three fairly small
- config files instead of one large one.
-
- Waxed - CONFIG.EXE. Most people just never used it anyway.
-
- Fixed - If using PWAFV to view a file, the file listing will not go into
- nonstop mode after exiting PWAFV.
-
- Waxed - DETAILS.DOC. I received no feedback about this from anyone, so
- tough noogie.
-
- Added - More seamless integration with BlackCat's Nuker.
-
-
- Version 1.1 - never released
-
- Added - Full support for SCuM-NuKeR. See EFNUKE.PPS for details.
- Installation is very simple and straight forward.
-
- Fixed - Line 1 in EFLAG.CFG has a very long prompt. This was also
- accidentally left in. It turns out that this prompt was a
- concatenation of the prompt I wanted in Line 1 along with the
- prompt in Line 2. This should not have caused too much of a
- problem since most people change the look/colors of the prompt
- in the first place.
-
- Fixed - In EFLAG.CFG, the description for the correct line 3 was
- accidentally left out (so that line 3 actually described line 4).
- This was actually generated from CONFIG.C.
-
- Changed - Now when highlighting the filename, the highlighted bar will
- highlight all the way through the file's uploaded date (column 31).
- This makes the highlight much more noticeable. This idea was taken
- from a modified FLAG that Vigilante has been using on his board
- Apparently, he was working on a different FLAG.PPE as well. :)
-
- Fixed/Changed - In DETAILS.DOC, it originally stated that the array
- allfiles(*) would be redimensioned to a size of 23 if the user's
- page length was set to zero. This is obviously incorrect since if
- the user has a continous display, they cannot individually flag files
- anyway. It now says the PPE will exit.
-
- Fixed - INSTALL.BAT was installing "FLAG.PPE" into PCBTEXT instead of
- "EFLAG.PPE". This was not too surprising as I simply modified the
- old INSTALL.BAT from FLAG.PPE.
-
- Added - Started adding HISTORY.DOC to keep track of changes/fixes.
-
- Version 1.0 - Initial Release. Finished 8-4-94. Released 8-20-94.
