-
- 1. BEST NEWS! The STATS program has been greatly enhanced. It now produces
- substantially the same output as 'BUTIL -STAT', but is a standalone
- program and can be freely distributed with your applications (unlike BUTIL)
- IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED USER of BTP. Full source is included.
-
- 2. Complete support for alternate collating sequences. This required
- modifying the BFile object and its constructor, and the CreateFile
- function, and the addition of data structures for an alternate collating
- sequence file. A boolean field in BFile, HasAltCol, has been established.
- The CreateFile function now takes a third parameter, being the name of an
- alternate collating sequence file, if any.
-
- 3. BFile has an additional field for a file's actual filespec length. This
- can be useful when cloning a file. A new function, CloneFile, has been
- added, which reduces the cloning process to a single function call, with only
- the names of the existing and new files passed as parameters. Miscellaneous
- changes in V1.5 include elimination of a redundant parameter previously
- required by the FilterSpec object's constructors. Added a variant to both
- the FileSpec and KeySpec objects to allow easier reporting of certain stats
- after a stat call.
-
- 4. Some minor optimizations done here and there thruout the unit and example
- programs.
